Lessons from a Miseducated Banker | Portia Powell | TEDxDetroit
Being miseducated can be more harmful than being uneducated. Most of what we learn about finances comes from our environment and our parents. As the daughter of a orphaned teenage single mom; Portia learned firsthand the benefits of resiliency, hard work and commitment. As a result she has spent her entire career in the financial services industry serving Detroit with commitment and dedication. She is a Certified Public Funds Investment Manager and currently serves as VP of Chemical Bank overseeing the operations of the multi-billion dollar Municipal Banking department. She was the recipient of the 40 under 40 award from both Michigan Chronicle and Crain’s Detroit Business. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community
