Meet Joe
Hi, I’m Joe Little—a husband, father, author, speaker, and passionate advocate for breaking the chains of poverty. My life’s mission is to inspire and empower others, especially at-risk youth, to overcome challenges, rewrite their stories, and build brighter futures.
I was raised in poverty and faced challenges that many would call insurmountable. Through faith, resilience, and the incredible support of mentors, I broke free from that cycle. I earned my undergraduate degree in Sociology and went on to complete an MBA, equipping myself with the tools to better understand and combat poverty.
I married my childhood best friend and high school sweetheart, and together, we’re raising our amazing son. As a family, we love camping, enjoying the great outdoors, and spending quality time together. I also love hitting the basketball court for a good pickup game. Above all, my Christian faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of my life and work.
Personal
I wrote Me and Poverty: A Journey of Inspiration and Escape to share my story, inspire others, and provide a roadmap for escaping poverty. My hope is that the book serves as a tool for individuals, mentors, and communities working to help those in need. Alongside my book, I publish a biweekly newsletter, blog posts, and more to continue spreading hope and encouragement.
As an author
I have the privilege of sharing my story and mission across the world. My talks focus on combating poverty, empowering at-risk youth, and encouraging communities to invest in the next generation. I’m also the host of a podcast and a YouTube channel where I spotlight stories of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of community.
Every aspect of my work is designed to bring people together, break down barriers, and share the love of Jesus Christ through action and encouragement. Thank you for being part of this journey—I’m honored to share it with you.
