Success the Hard Way: From Homeless to Harvard
Lalita inspires audiences across the country with the remarkable story of her journey from homeless teen mother and welfare recipient to author, anti-poverty crusader, Truman Scholar, and joint degree candidate at Harvard.
At fifteen, Lalita was a runaway high school dropout struggling for survival on the streets. By twenty, her teenage marriage to a childhood friend was in shambles, and she was homeless again - this time with an infant.
Refusing to accept a life of homelessness and poverty, Lalita defied the odds, achieving success that surpassed her wildest dreams.
