In this episode, I share a conversation I had with LaShara (Shari) Evans about Career, Parenting and Education.  She shares her career journey, how she is managing her family during this pandemic and her experiences as a School Principal. 

Shari tells the story of how her career path was directed by God. When she entered college she had no intention of going into education, and here she is serving as a School Principal. In terms of navigating her career, Shari shared these three points with me:

1.       Know your worth 

2.       Know your niche

3.       Ask for feedback 

Shari also provided tips and strategies parents can use to help them support their children during this new way of learning, rather hybrid or fully remote. She empowers mothers to:

1.       Communicate with teachers to let them know their specific needs for their family. 

2.       Know the power of your voice, and demand that you child receives the supports that they need. 

3.       Be open to changing your routine to help your child succeed. 

Additionally, Shari shared advice that she would give to mothers to help them grow as women and to show up for their children. She suggested: 

1.       Know your worth as a women in terms of friendships and relationships 

2.       Be patient with yourself, show yourself grace

3.       Be a model for your children 

4.       “Stop Cussing at your kids” Be mindful of the language you are using with them, words can hurt.
