I love hearing from a meeting planner about how much the girls connected to the message and that they were still talking about it days later. However, nothing brings me more joy than to get rushed by a gang of girls for a group hug! I’ve been speaking on the topics of self-esteem and empowerment for over two decades motivating adults and inspiring teens to unleash their potential and unlock their personal power towards self-confidence and success.

Girls relate to my message of self-worth, confidence, and personal power because I speak from my own real-life experience of turning tragedy into triumph and obstacles into opportunities. My hard-earned life lessons have become the foundation and core philosophy of my work which is based on love, compassion and a deep commitment to help young women create a balanced life of peace, prosperity and true happiness. My passion is working with teen girls and mothers and daughters.

“Words cannot express how much we appreciate all that you added to our Mother-Daughter Day on Saturday. Your presentation was amazing. You inspired all of us to think positively. You held the girls’ attention and shared such valuable information with them. You encouraged Moms to think of their daughters and themselves as fabulous human beings. You were a pleasure to work with and to be with. I am delighted that you came into our lives and made so many women and girls smile. Our sincerest thanks!

I am sending you our evaluation summary so you can see just how much you touched the lives of our participants. Kudos to you. We are already looking forward to next year and we’ll have to talk about how you can play a continuing role.”
