WHAT DRIVES HER “I was raised by a strong black woman who was a single parent. I watched her raise her family with no help from anyone. What drives me is the need to change the legacy of struggle for our family. The support of my husband, mother and brothers means everything. It is because of them that I continue to strive for success each day.”
“The underlying message I share with audiences is authenticity and being unapologetically YOU. Whether I am speaking on finding your voice or being a strong ally, the message is the same; you have to be authentic. You serve no one by being fake ... especially not yourself.
