EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH

DR. DAWNIEL WINNINGHAM (DDW)

PGMAG: Dr. Dawniel, welcome to today’s interview with Lady Anita.

DDW: I am honored to speak with PGMAG. Thank you so much.

PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

DDW: I always struggle with introductions because I've been so many different things in this lifetime. My official title is Reverend Dr Dawniel Patterson Winningham. I'm a former fortune bank executive however I've carried this torch of being an entrepreneur 13 years now. My gift is helping women see the best of themselves and being able to charge for it.

I truly believe that all women have the capacity to earn millions of dollars in their lifetime simply doing what they love to do and they only need to see the value in themselves and the world will pay them accordingly.

PGMAG: As a key player in the transformation of the lives of women, what would you say are the top three challenges women encounter whilst trying to build their businesses, and what would you suggest to some of these women?

DDW: I think the number one challenge that women face is themselves. We have allowed society to institutionalize our mind and place limits on what we can achieve. Many women often talk about imposter syndrome, however, those same women run whole companies, and even run their household.

My answer to that is women really need to start, understanding their full contribution to society at large and walk proudly with the gifts and the talents that we have accumulated everyone around us.

The next struggle that women have is truly charging their worth.

Whether it's in the workplace or entrepreneurs women's struggle with being able to articulate their true value, and therefore perpetuate The poverty standard that primarily belongs to women

Women have to stop being allowed to be taken for granted and learn how to stand up and require the world to recognize our gifts.

The third thing is definitely sisterhood. For so long, the world has pitted women against each other, which causes us to view each other as the enemy when actuality we are not the enemy.

I've sat in rooms with women of all races and backgrounds, and when you close your eyes, our stories, our mission and our problems sound very much alike. I'm not saying that there are not women out there who are BackStabbers or who don't mean you any good.

What I am saying is that there are far more women who do bring value and who do mean the best for us, and who are willing to work together for all of us to be successful.

And instead of focusing on those women who don't mean as well, we should focus on those women who truly mean the best for us.

PGMAG: If you were given an opportunity to address world leaders, what would your message be?

DDW: I think that world leaders have missed the idea of a global community and a global economy.

There are far too many have not in the world that has so much. If I had a chance to address global leaders, it would definitely be to encourage them to bring more diversity to the table and not just in terms of race, but also in terms of gender and just people who think differently altogether. I think that too many of the world leaders have lost touch with just how many people in the world are still not at that level Where they can afford things like clean water, food, and even shelter.

Think it's time for them to share their egos, roll up their sleeves and get to work on making the world a better place as opposed to arguing about perceived slights and who's in power.

PGMAG: As women leaders we often talk about ‘sitting at the table’, and the importance of working together andsupporting one another. What is your view on this?

DDW: I think that is women we all have a variety of different backgrounds that when pulled together will allow us to accomplish more than we ever have.

I truly have always believe that each of us has something that the other one needs. Doesn't mean that we should expect it for free, however, it does mean that my leveraging those partnerships were able to move faster and further than we ever have been.

PGMAG: I am excited to be working with you on our global projects, and I would love to hear your views on this partnership?

DDW: I think the global partnership such as ours are way overdue. In light of today's technology and the ability to travel almost anywhere on the planet. I'm amazed that it is taken this long for women to be able to bridge continental gaps in order to partner.

PGMAG: If you knew what you know now, what would you do differently?

DDW: I'm tempted to say that I would do so many things differently, however, the Bible tells us that all things are working for the good of those that love the Lord.

With that being said like Maya Angelou says I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. So I guess if I had to do all over again, it would be doing the same things that got me here now

PGMAG: What keeps you motivated as a leader?

DDW: What keeps me motivated as a leader is several factors:

• One is simply the expanse of opportunities that we have in this generation.

• I am always reminded that our forefathers and ancestors did not have the opportunities that are present to us today.

• Not only the opportunity to learn and grow, but the opportunity to build, mega businesses, create generational, wealth, and truly a legacy for our families.

• When I think about all that was endured during slavery, I truly have no choice, but to be motivated by the simplicity of being able to create and build wealth

PGMAG: Thank you for sharing your brilliance with us through this interview.
