#52: Inspiring You to Greatness with Tawalla Simmons

For the last thirty years, Tawalla Simmons has dedicated her career to serving others through CRA-inspired programs. Today, she is the president of Inspiring You to Greatness, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to educating low to moderate-income members of the community about credit, mortgage, and money literacy. As a previous mortgage broker, Tawalla saw firsthand the gap in education surrounding topics such as credit, job readiness, and housing stability. To better serve the community, Tawalla put together a platform of CRA-eligible programs that provide the necessary tools to both increase mortgage approval rates and teach community members how to be successful in the workforce. As the president of IYTG, Tawalla hopes to one day be a primary resource utilized by banks across the country.
