"Turning Injustice into Opportunity"
Larietha Strong
Founder
Larietha Strong knows firsthand how one moment can change a life. In 2014, when her younger brother and his friend were wrongfully imprisoned, Larietha didn’t just stand by. She became their advocate-gathering evidence and working tirelessly with law enforcement to secure their release and return them to their families.
That experience was the spark for SECOND PATH INCORPORATED.
“I realized that if I could change the path for my brother, I could change the path for an entire community.”
With over a decade of leadership experience- beginning with her time as a supervisor at Walmart in 2010-Larietha has always been a bridge to opportunity. Today, she uses that same tenacity to help young men in underprivileged communities navigate their own paths. By providing practical solutions to the root causes of crime and poverty, Larietha is dedicated to one thing: making sure every young person has a fair shot at a uccessful future.
