Legacy, Leadership & Honor: Dillard University Awards Honorary Doctorates to Two Trailblazing Women

In this powerful live episode of Rich Lessons, recorded at Dillard University during Commencement Week 2025, we sit down with two phenomenal women—Dr. Crystal Jackson and Dr. Gwendolyn Rainey—who were each awarded an honorary doctorate for their trailblazing work in philanthropy, culture, and community.

From impact investing and building generational wealth to founding the first Black women-owned Mardi Gras krewe in New Orleans, their stories are rooted in faith, resilience, and bold vision. If you're a student, entrepreneur, or anyone seeking purpose-driven success, this conversation is for you.
