Ashoka Fellow Aisha Nyandoro has pioneered an approach to ending generational poverty for families. In 2018, she launched a guaranteed income program for Black mothers in Mississippi, and through its success has become a leading champion of federal guaranteed income, including the Child Tax Credit. Across all efforts, she and her team are changing the narrative about poverty and power, challenging long-standing prejudices about who deserves to make it in America, and countering gendered and racialized narratives about why people don’t.

Speaking with Aisha is Angelou Ezeilo, an Ashoka Fellow from Atlanta, now living in Lagos, Nigeria.
