Cheri Garcia, the founder of Cornbread Hustle, a staffing agency dedicated to helping people in recovery and those with criminal backgrounds find employment, has overcome her own struggles with addiction to create a successful business that empowers individuals to transform their lives through employment and entrepreneurship. Despite facing significant challenges, including transportation barriers, myth surrounding violent charges, and lack of empathy from employers, Cheri's company has placed over 1,000 candidates in jobs over the last year. To address these issues, Cornbread Hustle offers a 12-week Starting Over program that helps candidates find self-empowerment through reconnecting with their inner child, setting goals, and sharing wins on social media. The company aims to educate employers about fair chance hiring, emphasizing the importance of getting team leads, managers, and supervisors on board to ensure success. With empathy training for supervisors and internal PR, organizations can transform their environment by creating a purpose-driven workplace that makes a positive impact on people's lives.
