Antoinette Banks built Expert IEP from lived experience. After her daughter’s severe autism diagnosis and a 40-page IEP that focused more on limitations than support, she took matters into her own hands. What followed is powerful. Her daughter went from being non-verbal with a low expectation of independence to speaking and enrolling in college. Expert IEP now helps families navigate the complex special education system with clarity and advocacy. In 2023, Antoinette won the $1M Black Ambition grand prize, but more than that, it was a defining moment of visibility and validation for underrepresented founders building solutions that matter. Watch the full episode to hear her story and learn from all six founders featured. #FounderStory #BlackAmbition #ExpertIEP #AutismAwareness #WomenInBusiness
