Driven by Purpose: Issa Coulibaly’s Journey from West Africa to America’s Midwest | A Graduation Photoshoot

Issa Coulibaly's graduation photoshoot

After graduating from Wichita State University with a degree in Business Administration, Issa put his education to work by launching two ventures close to his heart: a used car dealership and a vehicle export business connecting the United States to Africa. What fuels him every day is simple: providing reliable transportation to those who need it most.

“We serve the whole Wichita community and beyond,” Issa shares. “Most of our customers are hardworking people with low incomes who just need a dependable vehicle — without breaking the bank.”

His business doesn’t just offer great cars at excellent prices; it also opens doors through flexible financing options, giving many the opportunity to move forward when they thought it wasn’t possible.

But Issa’s vision doesn't stop there. In the next five years, he’s determined to grow even further — creating more job opportunities, expanding his impact, and eventually opening a second location to serve even more families across Kansas.

At Dream To Reality Photography, we had the honor of capturing Issa’s graduation portraits on campus at Wichita State University in Wichita, KS, on The Promise Bridge — a celebration of his journey so far and the exciting road ahead.
