Inspired Leadership Podcast with Trapped in the System Author Larita Rice-Barnes

Dawn Airhart Witte and Deborah Louise Brown discuss inspired leadership in a world that needs all the kindness and care we can muster.

Larita Rice-Barnes is the author of Trapped in the System, a book that reveals the tricks of the enemy and the tactics he uses to bring about our destruction. After being a part of an unhealthy ministry for many years, where she found herself being misused for her gifts, talents, money, and time, but still remaining faithful to God’s people and calling, the Lord transitioned her higher and deeper into His purpose for her life. Now, as a powerful agent of change, through the authority of God, she helps others discover their identities and maximize their potential and God-given talents to the Glory of the Most High.

As a victor of rape and molestation, with former gang affiliation and alcohol abuse, she understands what it means to need a way of escape from difficult situations. In 2007, she founded Women of Excellence Midwest, an organization established as a safe haven for battered, abused, and rejected women to heal and be emboldened to move forward. She established the non-profit organization Living Life to the Fullest CDC, which provides workshops, seminars, and advocacy classes on self-empowerment. 

She is a recipient of the President Barack Obama Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteer Services.

Dawn is the founder of Desire to Inspire Foundation, an international philanthropic organization that provides children around the world with a mother's love and care while helping them find and use their own special gifts and talents. Deborah operates Brave Maven Press, a boutique publishing firm that helps authorpreneurs start or finish their legacy books, workbooks and eCourses.
