Like an awakening, cracking the shell that had grown around me. Light started to peer through the darkness. I wasn’t hollow. There was an entire personality, a whole person. I was awakened to finally perceive with my own eyes...my authentic self. It is me. And I am beautiful. That was my experience advancing through AWL.

AWL helped me to connect with my inner me. To learn myself, nurture myself, and grow myself. I began to realize that it all starts with the health of the mind, body and spirt. Once I was able to nourish myself, I was then more aware of myself to identify areas for improvement, to learn and grow in my space. A space, or environment, that is beginning to be influenced by me because I found my voice with AWL, and I am able to use this voice to speak-up.

Never ending AWESOME BADASSERY! That’s how I would describe the AWL Community. The caliber of women is phenomenal. It’s a safe space where you can be unapologetically you, and you are loved. The ladies of AWL have helped me grow in so many ways, have stood by me in the most difficult of times, have listened to my heart flow with tears because the damage in our society, and have cried with me for mourning and jubilation.

Pursuing AWL, and actually going through the experience has been priceless. I have a healthy lifestyle that is improving, long-lasting healthy relationships, and I am flourishing professionally, corporately, and as an entrepreneur. I can’t say that I would have had the boldness I have right now, if it were not for AWL.
