What does it really take to start something from nothing?

In this episode of Ladies of Sosa, we sit down with Houda, founder of Dallas Street Feeders, to talk about the real journey of self-starting — no money, no perfect plan, just vision, consistency, and heart.

From launching a community initiative that feeds the homeless every month, to navigating challenges, building partnerships, and staying consistent when things get hard — this conversation breaks it all down in a real, relatable way.

We also dive into diaspora identity, redefining influence, and what it truly means to give back to the communities that raised us.

We talk about:

• Starting without money and building from scratch
• The reality of running a community initiative
• Diaspora identity and unity across cultures
• Redefining what it means to be an “influencer”
• Why service should be a lifestyle, not a moment

✨ Whether you’ve been sitting on an idea or looking for ways to make an impact — this episode is for you.
