"Thank you! I have been binge listening to Your podcast! It is everything.! Thank you for this breath of fresh air and positivity! I loved the idea of adding where you are from, to your story. As a woman who grew up in Ferguson, MO I learned that we share many of our stories as black people as the ‘object’ of all the disparities that happens to us, and we need to share our stories as the heroines of what we have survived and endured celebrating our resilience much more! Thank you for this!"

I always figured when I increased my performance more people would take notice. When you ladies shared the actual percentages, I was blown away. I’ve always been big on image but noticing now how it really does affect how I’m viewed."
