Summary

Most people struggle to do one job well. Bessye Adams is a City Councilwoman for Grand Prairie, the Financial Controller for DeSoto ISD, an entrepreneur, and a community advocate , all at the same time.

In this conversation, she breaks down what it actually takes to manage public money in education, why she ran for city council, and what community leadership looks like when it goes beyond the title. She also speaks to her involvement with the National League of Cities and what local leaders can teach the rest of the country.

This is what service looks like when it's built on purpose, not politics.
