Wounds to Wisdom
Many often wonder how I got my start speaking, coaching, and being an empowerment influencer. It wasn’t an easy journey. Most would say that I fell into this career, but I prefer to say I was purposed into this career.
Throughout the course of our lives, we are often faced with many situations and circumstances that may cause us to become wounded—physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, and even spiritually. These bumps and bruises we tend to carry with us along our journey seem to never go away—I can honestly say that I have experienced my share.
Being born to teenage parents (who lacked financial resources and education) positioned me to spend my early years growing up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood housing project in Buffalo, NY.
As a child, I witnessed a lot. I suffered through many hardships due to the plaguing effects of abuse, drugs, and alcoholism within my family. As an adult, I set my sights on finding all of those things that I felt deprived of... love, happiness, and stability, which sometimes lead me in all the wrong places.
Although I struggled with the pressures of life (Teenage pregnancy, sexual assault, and domestic abuse), I was forced to come face-to-face with challenges that landed me the winning star role in this production that I call my life—‘Wounds to Wisdom’.

Living The Empowered Life
I truly believe that the adversities that we experience in life are meant to prepare and push us into our purpose.
After escaping a relationship that was mentally, verbally, financially, and at times physically abusive, I hit rock bottom. I was mentally and emotionally broken and financially unstable. Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
I had no idea that something so painful and traumatic would push me into my life purpose. Years later, I had no idea that I’d be a frontline domestic violence advocate, serving as the founder of my own non-profit organization that focuses on domestic violence advocacy, awareness, and prevention. I had no idea that I’d be the CEO of a successful coaching company and business academy, helping women use their experience and stories to create transformational businesses of their own. I had no idea that I would go from being a wounded woman walking to Living The Empowered Life!
In this season of Living The Empowered Life, my mission is simple. Be the type of woman who empowers other women to play big! Why? Because empowered women, empower other women.
Ladies!
It’s time to identify and live your life purpose.
It’s time to live life according to your values.
It’s time to set goals that move you forward in life and business.
It’s time to unleash your confidence.
It’s time to fearlessly walk in your authentic power.
It time to Live The Empowered Life!
