My CoachDiversity Institute experience helped me to see inside the core of my soul, release the chains of self–doubt, and transform to place of understanding the authenticity that abounds within me. I hope to use this transformative power to help African-American women. As an African American mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt who has dealt with and now witnesses the challenges of social inequality, racism, and discrimination that women of color face on a day to day basis, the need for self-care and self–love is so necessary.
