MY STORY
I moved to Atlanta with a 9-month old baby on a wing and a prayer. I was unhappy, overweight, had lost friends, and was overwhelmed with feelings of failure. One day, God had me lock myself in a room and write down my feelings. From that came my best-selling book, Blah to Fierce, where I carried women through a 30-day challenge to move out of their rut. Like me I figured other women were going through the same thing and could use a guide. I was right!
Five years later I was named among Atlanta’s Power 25 and lauded by the Mayor, GA House of Representatives and President Barack Obama.
I became a formidable woman simply by making a decision. I share this story not to brag but to echo to anyone in similar circumstances that you are one decision away from a 180 degree turn-around.
Whether on social media or in everyday life, we often view the lives of the influential and wonder how we can become them. I not only share the secrets to my success but how to be a “formidable woman.” And it all starts with “unbecoming”—a phrase I coined to help women strip away everything that isn’t really them. Most people like to use the term ‘become’, but I believe that when God created you, you were already who you are...From the very beginning, He already knew.
In the heavenly realm, you already are that person and so you just have to ‘unbecome’ everything that isn’t really you and allow the true you to shine through. This means all that society has told you, all the limits.
Today, I am the Director of Communications for Farr's Best, the #1 Urban Family in America. I also run Formidable Woman®, an international confidence and women's empowerment brand whose mission is to champion confidence in women. She runs Formidable Woman, Formidable Man Skincare, Formidable Woman® Beauty, Formidable Coaching Institute, Formidable Mingles (dating app), Formidable Publishing, Formidable Woman® Magazine, Formidable Men™ Magazine, Formidable Apparel, Formidable Consulting, Formidable Girls, and Fierce to Formidable Support Group.
