Nelson Mandela declared, “Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world.” Everyday in the classroom, I challenge young people to expand the parameters of their minds, in order to be critical thinkers in a chaotic world. Our youth need to realize, they are not the NEXT generation but they are the NOW generation. Now is the time to infuse character, hope, and healing into their lives via the vehicle of education which will transform our world.
As a cancer survivor, I share my inspiring story of overcoming the odds and transforming life’s trials into triumphs. In spite of cancer I decided that “I CAN” overcome with my determination and the strength of God’s healing power. I infuse my inspiring story, the power to persevere, and messages of hope into my 3 books, classrooms, churches, conferences, and various arenas, in order to compel and propel individuals to unlock the doors to their potential.
