In this episode, I share my educational journey. I tell about how I went from being illiterate to teaching others to read and write in English. 

I hope my story will encourage you to overcome your challenges. 

Here are some questions to consider as you reflect upon your journey:

• Have you ever been told that you couldn't do something? Did anyone ever count you out because of their perceived outcome? If so, who were they, and how did you respond to them?
• Is there anything in your life that you think you cannot do? Are there areas of defeat within your life? 
• How do you overcome the voices of doubt or negative voices that speak against your identity and purpose?
• How can you use your experiences and your gifts to help others? 

Remember, God loves you, and He has chosen you to fulfill His good purpose.

In this episode, I share my early years of navigating my hair. My Mom and I did our best using hot combs and pink lotion to achieve the image of beauty.
