Catalyst of Change
From Poverty to Success: The Life-Changing Ripple of Nicole Ross Building Legacy | Catalyst Ep. 20
In this heartfelt and visionary episode of Catalyst of Change, host Alexia Cito is joined by Nicole Ross—founder of Hands Across Philadelphia and co-creator of the World Summit on Women and Girls—for a powerful conversation on how mentorship, grassroots action, and global collaboration can shift entire generations.
Nicole shares the real stories behind the scenes: how one young woman buying a duplex changed her entire family’s trajectory, how two teens stood at a crossroads between jail and opportunity, and how the youth given a mic are now becoming world leaders.
In this inspiring exchange, Nicole and Alexia dive into:
- How small acts of mentorship can transform lives—and legacies.
- Why youth must not only be seen and heard, but given the platform to lead.
- The evolution of Hands Across Philadelphia from local peace walks to a global youth empowerment movement.
- The critical role of Sustainable Development Goal #17: partnerships for real, lasting change.
- How giving children tools, support, and belief can ignite entire communities.
From city blocks in Philly to the halls of the UN and House of Lords, this episode is proof: you don’t need millions—just a mission.
Whether you’re a teacher, parent, mentor, or changemaker-in-the-making, this one will reignite your sense of purpose.
