The Los Angeles Wire has featured our very own Sherri Francois, Chief Impact Officer at SoLa Impact! 🎉📰 The article highlights Sherri’s journey from her Emmy-nominated career in entertainment and journalism to her role as a changemaker in South LA. Driven by a deep commitment to her community, in 2018 Sherri led the establishment of The SoLa Foundation, SoLa's non-profit affiliate, to ensure that all youth in South LA have access to opportunities for a successful future.
SoLa Impact and The SoLa Foundation are tackling some of Los Angeles' most pressing issues: homelessness and the housing crisis. Through mission-driven capital and a place-based approach, we are building high-quality, affordable housing while providing comprehensive support services to ensure our residents remain housed. 🏠✨ Together, we're redefining social impact by investing in people and potential. Sherri’s belief that “If You Can See It, You Can Be It” is at the heart of our initiatives, including The SoLa Tech and Entrepreneurship Center Powered by Riot Games, which aims to inspire and empower the next generation of leaders and professionals in tech, gaming, arts, media, and entrepreneurship.
We invite you to read the full article to learn more about Sherri’s leadership and the impact of SoLa Impact and The SoLa Foundation. Her story is a powerful reminder that when communities are seen not just for their circumstances but for their potential, transformational change is possible.
