From Challenge
to Innovation

Growing up in Singers Glen, Virginia, in a family where hearing loss spanned six generations, Charity experienced firsthand the barriers to traditional education. When she lost her remaining hearing at 13, it became fuel for determination, leading her to become the first in her family to graduate college.

Later, as a mother of children with hearing loss, she supported her children's entrepreneurial journey with "Every Celebration," a pigeon release business they ran for a decade. This venture taught more than business skills—it demonstrated how practical knowledge and lived experience could create both opportunity and independence.
