The Poverty-to-Power Leadership Framework¿ is a transformational blueprint that redefines poverty-not as a permanent economic condition, but as a systemic crisis rooted in denied access, restricted agency, and suppressed leadership development. While traditional anti-poverty efforts emphasize relief, services, and short-term stabilization, Dr. Tekemia Dorsey introduces a bold new paradigm: poverty becomes generational when leadership access is blocked-and becomes disruptible when leadership access is restored. At the core of this framework is a signature concept: Leadership Access, defined through four measurable pillars-Decision-Making, Agency, Accountability, and Opportunity. Together, these pillars form the bridge between survival and stability, dependence and power, hardship and generational mobility. Grounded in research, civic leadership, and global applicability, the framework is built across five interconnected domains: Identity & Mindset Leadership; Educational & Skill Leadership; Economic & Financ.
