What would you do when the system fails your child-and the world tells you "no"?
In Ground Zero to Building an Empire: A Founder's Journey to Opening a Charter School, Dr. Stacey Owens-Howard takes readers on a deeply personal and powerful journey from struggle to success, from single mother to visionary founder. Born from the pain of watching her own son fall through the cracks of traditional education, Stacey's story unfolds into an inspiring blueprint for every leader who dares to create change.
With raw honesty and unwavering faith, Dr. Owens-Howard reveals how rejection, fear, and failure became the building blocks of ZECA School of Arts and Technology, a thriving charter school designed to serve at-risk students and redefine what education can be. Through heartbreak, hard lessons, and divine resilience, she built an empire rooted in compassion, courage, and community.
Whether you're an educator, entrepreneur, or dreamer standing at your own "ground zero," this book will remind you that purpose can rise from pain, and that every "no" can be the seed of your greatest "yes."
