あらすじ・解説
From the vibrant landscapes of Costa Rica to the entrepreneurial heart of Arkansas, one woman’s journey is transforming the way we think about business, inclusivity, and opportunity. Claudia Scott, diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at a young age, has used her personal experiences to fuel her advocacy for neurodiversity and underserved communities. Through her work with organizations like Startup Junkie and KIVA Northwest Arkansas, Claudia is opening doors to entrepreneurship for those who have traditionally been overlooked.
Through her work, Claudia has championed initiatives like microloans through KIVA, which have had a significant impact on women entrepreneurs. With 88% of loans directed at women-owned businesses, the program empowers individuals who may otherwise lack access to traditional financial systems. Additionally, Claudia has worked to make entrepreneurship more inclusive by introducing loans for non-binary entrepreneurs and ensuring that people from all walks of life—whether with criminal backgrounds or unique challenges—have the tools to succeed.
Looking ahead, Claudia Scott is focused on expanding her work internationally and reaching more communities in need. She is exploring partnerships in Costa Rica and other regions, aiming to foster entrepreneurship globally. Her work also includes outreach to rural farmers and those with criminal convictions, addressing their specific barriers to starting businesses. Claudia’s overarching philosophy, captured in her motto "Everything passes," underscores her belief that, with the right support, anyone can overcome challenges and build a better future through entrepreneurship.
