Shamim Okolloh is VP Community Outreach Officer for Central Arkansas at Encore Bank. She is also a first year graduate school student here at Barret. During grad week, she and I had an awesome conversation about her role in bridging the gap between minorities/underbanked/unbanked communities. It was one of those conversations that you kick yourself for not having a mic ready to roll. So...I brought her back for the podcast so that we could all benefit from her perspective.
