Dawn Cazedessus’ story is one of resilience, faith, and purpose. Born to a teenage mother and raised in poverty, she faced abuse, addiction, and hardship. But through God’s grace, perseverance, and a willingness to take one step forward each day, she transformed her life—becoming the first in her family to earn a degree and ultimately rising to the C-suite.

In this powerful interview on Faith in Culture with Tré Goins-Phillips, Dawn shares how her pro-life beginnings, deepening faith, and overcoming shame prepared her for a calling in leadership. She reveals practical wisdom for breaking free from chaos, reframing failure, and living generously as a servant leader. Her new book, Trailer Park CEO: 12 Leadership Cornerstones to Become a Godly Woman of Influence, is a testament that no matter where you start, God can use your story for good.
