7-Figure Educator: An Author Conversation with Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas

Join us for an inspiring evening with bestselling author, entrepreneur, and former Charlotte educator Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas as she returns to the city where her leadership journey began for an intimate conversation about education, entrepreneurship, and ownership.

Moderated by Dr. Monique Perry-Graves, CEO of Road to Hire and former Executive Director of Teach For America North Carolina, this live conversation will go beyond the pages of 7-Figure Educator to explore the stories, lessons, and experiences that shaped the book and the movement behind it.

Before becoming the founder of a multi-seven-figure education company serving thousands of educators across the country, Dr. Erica served as a high school math teacher, assistant principal, and principal right here in Charlotte. This conversation is both a homecoming and an invitation to imagine what becomes possible when educators recognize the value of their expertise beyond traditional career pathways.

Throughout the evening, attendees will explore topics including:

• The journey from educator to entrepreneur
• The story behind 7-Figure Educator
• Leadership lessons from the classroom and principal's office
• Why educators deserve wealth, ownership, and freedom
• Building impact beyond traditional career paths
• The future of education entrepreneurship

Whether you're an educator, entrepreneur, leader, aspiring author, or simply someone passionate about leadership and legacy, you'll leave inspired to think differently about the value of your expertise and the possibilities available to you.
