Due Quach: From Refugee to Harvard-Educated CEO and Entrepreneur
Due Quach is the founder and CEO of Calm Clarity, a social impact organization that helps people overcome adversity through nurturing a mindset of growth, leadership, and resilience. She's also the founder of Collective Success Network, a nonprofit that provides support to low-income first-generation students.
When Due was a toddler, her parents moved her family from a Vietnamese refugee camp to an impoverished Philadelphia neighborhood.
She overcame adversity and went on to graduate from Harvard and pursue a successful corporate career. However, she soon learned the high-flying corporate life wasn't for her.
After going on a journey to discover her life's purpose, she decided to return to Philadelphia to help people from underserved neighborhoods recognize their potential.
