Torkin Wakefield and Devin Hibbard are the mother-daughter pair who co-founded the nonprofit organization BeadforLife in 2004. For 17 years, BeadforLife helped women in Africa through the sale of their handcrafted jewelry — until the organization shut down and birthed a new organization in 2020.

When it comes to scale, it’s critical to tackle change and how nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs can manage it. In this episode, we talk to Devin about how BeadforLife transitioned into a new nonprofit, Street Business School. Devin shares the journey of piloting new initiatives, growing them, and making a bold decision to take her organization to a new direction.
