How can we go from tragedy to triumph?
In this week's podcast, we talked about:
- Her story about how she came out of human trafficking, rose up to become an author and co-founder of Home For Grace, and finding her place in the world with her daughter
- Her experience speaking at The Great American Speakoff
- Her advocacy work at Home for Grace. She started out of college as a community organizer and was soon over the Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault and part of the New Orleans Family Justice Center and over a re-entry program. She also co-created Home For Grace with a realtor and takes her clients through a 12-month program of healing. Her program provides women with a fair chance for a new start and a safe place to heal.
- What trafficking truly means and uncovering the truth behind the unloved and the coerced
- How her program, Unleash to Speak helps one to use their voice to get what God has for them.
- The power of protecting our intellectual property
- Her process of co-authoring a book with her daughter and the gift it has provided her in parenting
She also shared some tips about:
- Balancing motherhood while making the world a better place
- How she overcame challenges in the entrepreneurial space
- Words of encouragement and a few special quotes I like to call "Shametria-isms"!
