Biography

Arlo Washington is a man of faith and a man of the people. Washington overcame adversity early in his life after the loss of his parents; he went to barber college, opened up his own shop at 19 years old, and eventually started the Washington Barber College. But the entrepreneur was called to meet an even greater need: giving unbanked community members the financial resources they needed to succeed. Step one was the nonprofit People Trust Loan Fund. Then, at the end of last year, Washington opened the People Trust Community Federal Credit Union, laying the foundation for generations of financial empowerment.
