  • Champion for Women and Children - Christian Murphy, CEO of Wellspring Living
    Jun 27 2024

    This is SEASON 1 final episode. Neha and Shalini's guest at the table is thought-provoking leader Christian Murphy. Paving roads so others can learn and dare to dream again. Christian has spent much of her adult life championing empowerment and building consistent community support. Her decade+ career in nonprofit leadership has reduced many barriers so others can achieve the transformative power of education, mentorship and holistic support.

    By graduating from Spelman College, she completed a legacy unfulfilled by her father not earning his Morehouse College degree due to financial constraints. As the newly-appointed CEO of Wellspring Living, a nonprofit that helps those at risk of or victimized by sex trafficking, Murphy has nearly completed a $20 million capital campaign.

    About to break ground on a new Wellspring Living residential and support complex, Christian chats about how giving is all-encompassing linking the old, young and in between. And yes, giving does require sacrifice but "done the right way, it can create significant meaning." You'll want to tune-in for this very important episode.

    This is the end of Lentil Soup for the Soul Season 1. We will return after a hiatus.
