Cortney Cole-Hall is a true renaissance woman. From corporate executive to real estate mogul, she’s enjoyed much success. But the loss of her mother inspired something that has saved Houston area women from debt collectors. And homelessness. She founded Pink Door Nonprofit because she didn’t want women to experience what her mom had to endure: trouble paying bills. During this conversation, Dorothy and Cortney talk about Pink Door’s inception, its eventual sunsetting, and how this all ties back into The Rose’s mission.
