Kemi Nekvapil is a coach, speaker and author and she’s trained with Dr Brene Brown (I mean, DR BRENE BROWN!!) and is now a ‘Dare to Lead’ Facilitator.

Kemi landed her fifth set of foster parents at the age of 13. She describes that experience as a 'gift' where she learned the power of choice. She’s since used that lesson to transform her life multiple times from a baker, to a well known television and stage actress to a vegan chef and now life coach. 

In this beautiful conversation Kemi talks about claiming her confidence growing up in predominantly white spaces. You’ll learn how to get the courage to ask for what you want and why doing that is a gift to others; and Kemi shares the powerful question you should ask yourself for more confidence.
