With a passion for giving back to the veteran community, today I am so honored to bring Melissa Washington to the S.O.S. podcast.
Melissa is an award-winning advocate, speaker, author, entrepreneur, CEO, publisher, Radio Show Host, and proud Navy veteran.
Woven throughout all of her diverse pursuits is a mission of service—and a passion to empower her fellow women veterans.
One of her most notable accomplishments founding the Women’s Veteran Alliance. This global organization seeks to empower and positively impact the lives of women veterans. The nonprofit wing of WVA, Women Veterans Giving gives women veterans opportunities to gain valuable career experience and successfully integrate back into civilian life. WVG also helps fund women veteran-owned businesses, which other organizations often overlook. To date, they have awarded over $20k to women in veteran-owned businesses. In 2016, created and produced the first "Women Veterans Unconference."
Join us as we discuss how she went from helping people with their LinkedIn profiles from her kitchen table to now running global business, writing several books, creating a magazine, and appearing in numerous international media outlets - all dedicated to empowering by helping them grow their companies.
