The curriculum focuses on six areas of self-love, self-care, and wellness & helps clients build self-confidence, unlock their inner strength, and provide strategies that help them become the best version of themselves. We believe that wellness is a continual process of self-improvement with the end goal of being the best version of yourself. The six focus areas are Physical Wellness (healthy lifestyle), Mental/Emotional Wellness (mental/emotional well-being), Spiritual Wellness (finding purpose), Social Wellness (healthy relationships), Intellectual/Career Wellness (being open-minded and finding passion career) & Financial Wellness (managing money). When individuals operate at a high level of wellness, it will result in the community being the best version of themselves and achieving their full potential, which will result in the community improving. The Empowerment Foundation also focuses on direct community impact, including but not limited to food drives, coat drives, back-to-school programming, workshops, and seminars by collaborating and partnering with churches, community centers & community-based organizations that focus on the BIPOC Community.

Tell us about yourself

I am an author, motivational speaker, healthcare leader, and a mother of 3 beautiful children, Justin (24), Christian (18), and Ava (14). I am a Registered Nurse (RN) with a Master’s in Community Health Nursing and a Doctorate Degree in Organizational Leadership, and I have more than 26 years of experience as a Senior Leader who coaches teams and individuals and leads organizations as a catalyst for transformation. I have overcome many challenges in my personal life that allowed me to be the best version of myself. I was raised by a single mother with four siblings in the inner city. I faced many challenges associated with living in poverty that made me resilient and determined to succeed. When I transitioned to college, I was told that with my mediocre test scores, I would not graduate from college. The same resiliency and determination that I grew up with allowed me to continue to work hard and achieve my educational goals despite what I was told. I went on to obtain my Master’s Degree and ultimately obtained my Doctorate in Organizational Leadership. These life experiences, although challenging and difficult, allowed me to realize that I was more than my past and I had everything I needed to succeed within me. My upbringing and life experiences are what started me working on my book, which led to the journal, merchandise, candle line, and my non-profit organization.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is growing my business from an idea to a brand that will empower and inspire the world to be the best version of themselves.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The hardest thing that comes with being a business owner for me is having a full-time career and a part-time side hustle which I am passionate about both. It is a challenge trying to find time to manage both worlds and take care of my family and balance it all with a social life.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

The top 3 tips I would give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today would be to have good time management and consistency and be a lifelong learner about your business area.
