As a 2014 ALI Fellow, Carol Goss created Warrior Women Against Poverty (WWAP). WWAP is a movement of African American women that provides mentoring, advocacy, and supportive friendship to women and children living in poverty, helping them improve their socioeconomic status. WWAP partners with a local agency for homeless women and children, the Coalition on Temporary Shelter. Under Goss’ leadership, WWAP has strategic goals that allow the organization to stay nimble and respond to changes, while also moving towards an identifiable goal and enacting measurable change. For example, through conversations with mentees, WWAP learned that Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requirements failed to provide subsidized child care for eligible women without a permanent address or who could not identify the father of their children. WWAP responded by advocating on behalf of these women with DHHS to change these requirements and ensuring that they had a permanent address. Goss said her work at WWAP is “more rewarding than anything I’ve ever done before.”
