This week's guest, Dr. Carletta E. Griffin, is the CEO of Dominion Disability Advocates, LLC. She serves the greater Detroit area as well as Nationally, advocating for clients seeking Social Security Disability benefits. She is also an Adjunct Faculty with the University of Detroit Mercy. She was most recently awarded the National Association of Disability Representatives "Member of the Year" honor for 2020-2021.

As a native Detroiter, Carletta is passionate about giving back to the community that has given so much to her. So much so, that as an extension of her doctoral dissertation, "The Role of the African American Church Leadership within the City of Detroit", Carletta has launched a foundation. The One Conscious Detroit Church Foundation (OCDCF) is dedicated to uniting the citizens of Detroit of varying Christian faith- based groups in serving community and the challenges presented therein.

Carletta is married to her high school sweetheart, a story she speaks so fondly of regarding the power of prayer, and they have one son Joshua. Carletta is passionate about her values of Faith, Family, Freedom, Fun, and Fitness. She enjoys long hikes and exploring a few of her passions in the area of esthetics and real estate in her spare time.

Tune in to hear how her parents planted seeds of faith and service early in her life and how her father's illness and subsequent death early in her life, and the lessons learned from his life, are showing up today in her life's work.

Although in Carletta's life she has experienced a series of trials and tribulations, including the tragic loss of a dear friend in college, she has never given up and has always been dedicated to self-improvement, education, her community and living as an example of her Faith. In doing so, she has also experienced beautiful moments of joy, success and the realization of God's promise and faithfulness.

You don't want to miss this episode as Dr. Carletta realizes that she has been called to remain "faithful and consistent".
