S1E6 I The Gift of Veronica's Way I Crispin Booker

On this episode I talk with Crispin Booker about how is struggle with the passing of his grandmother-Veronica L. Paul- led to the creation of his non-profit Veronica's Way. He shares the triumph and unexpected challenges of how he built over 20 computer labs in Haiti, Jamaica and Grenada that now serve over 10,000 students!

Crispin Michael Booker is the Founder of Veronica's Way, a nonprofit organization that was created to offer 3 pillars of service to the community: Technological Literacy, Hunger Elimination, and Educational Support. Veronica's Way is named after and in honor of Crispin's beloved grandmother, Veronica L. Paul, a retired school teacher from Grenada, West Indies, who dedicated her life to serving the community.

Due to severe economic hardships in her home country of Grenada, Veronica developed a committed practice and passion for feeding the homeless. As a result of these experiences, she made it her life mission to provide resources to those in need. When she migrated to the United States in 1979, this passion did not falter. In fact, she used every opportunity and resource that she had to seek support for families in need. She also made sure to train her family to always be in the mindset of giving.

Veronica's Way has built 20 computer labs between Grenada, Haiti, and Jamaica. These labs have given over 10,000 students access to new possibilities for career advancement that may have never been available before.

Crispin has committed to install a Veronica's Way computer lab in the entire African diaspora and is set for Ghana in 2023!
