Join us (virtually on Facebook Live!) on Wednesday, March 3rd for EBF with Rachel Proctor! Texas-bred entrepreneur, Rachel L. Proctor, has revolutionized the way people lead in business and public service. She was recently elected overwhelmingly, as Mayor of DeSoto, TX, making her the youngest Mayor to serve in that city. Community service is at the heart of everything Rachel does. Her love for her alma mater, DeSoto High School, fueled her to launch a non-profit called EMERGE Leadership, Inc. (ELI) which helps female, first-generation college students navigate the journey from high school to college through creative programming and scholarship opportunities. To date, ELI has provided young women with scholarships totaling nearly $25,000 since its inception in 2013 and also provides students with laptops and other technology to use to further their college education. Rachel is a Licensed Minister and hosts annual women's luncheons and retreats. Her signature event, Morsels and Mentorship, serves as a safe space that empowers women with faith and strategies they can implement daily to grow in faith, life, love and business. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington and she is a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
