At Dealing With Debt, we believe powerful stories deserve a closer look. In Focus is our ongoing series that shines a light on individuals, organizations, and communities making a real impact—whether they’re expanding access to financial education, improving mental wellness, or shifting the conversation around economic equity. These aren’t just feel-good features. They’re reminders that meaningful change is happening every day—and often, it’s driven by people you haven’t heard of yet.

Each installment brings one story into sharper view, honoring the clarity, courage, or innovation behind the work. From grassroots organizers to bold thinkers inside institutions, In Focus celebrates the power of people taking action—on their own terms, in their own communities, and with lasting effect.
