Barbara Adams is an influential leader in Pennsylvania for
her tireless efforts to implement housing projects, help reduce
poverty, and advocate for social justice issues. She spent nearly
30 years at a Philadelphia-based law firm where she started as a
summer intern and rose through the ranks to tackle complex housing
projects that significantly improved the lives in her
community.
Adams recounts her journey and discusses how to improve senior
housing and the keys to tackling a poverty epidemic in
Philadelphia. She also shares her work in clean energy, which she
argues is essential for creating jobs and fighting poverty.
