You are a diamond- beautiful, valuable, and appreciated. Me - I am NOT a diamond.

In fact, what if I am a Sapphire? Should I bleach my blue to be more like you? 

They say success leaves clues - and that is true. However, as we look at those who we admire, who inspire us, and whose success we want to emulate - too many of us are becoming COPIES, in fact, fakes, of the thing we are trying so hard to BECOME.

Maybe, what we really need to do is not about BECOMING but REVEALING and REFINING!

If you are a diamond and I am a sapphire, I will not bleach my blue to become like you. Instead, I will see your success and celebrate it, and understand that your glitter and polish were because you submitted to the cuts, the grind, and the polish. That is something to replicate. Maybe we can emulate the success PROCESS without trying to become the other person. A Sapphire in the ground is not the beautiful gem we display in jewelry or art. In nature, the blue rock is not that pretty but within the surface ugly is a natural beauty waiting to be UNCOVERED. The Sapphire does not have to BECOME a diamond to be beautiful, valuable, and appreciated. However, despite the potential within, it is the cut and the grind, and the polish that brings to the surface, REVEALS and REFINES the beauty that lies within.

Preparing for a Doctoral dissertation and the defense of your paper can be anxiety-inducing. Not for students taking advantage of Elite Writing Editing Services. Academic writing (all levels), professional writing, and more.   

Dr. Dinah Akridge is my guest. She suffered a difficult childhood but despite her mother declaring over her life “ain’t nobody gonna pay for you to go to college, you ain’t gonna do nothin' but drop out anyway”, she doubled down and earned her doctorate. Finding a disparity in the number of African American doctoral students she created Elite Editing and Writing Services to assist other African American doctoral students to get through their doctoral journey. For more information, visit https://eliteeditingwriting.com/  

Dinah answers the following:  

1. Tell us about your offer, and your writing service. Who are you serving and what is the solution you offer?  

2. You mentioned a 2019 publication in Black Voice News, which found that approximately 50,000 students earned a Ph.D. each year and only 5.5% were African Americans. So do you think scholarly writing skills or lack of them, contribute to that low graduate rate among African Americans?   

3. Despite your harsh upbringing, Almost a Cinderella-type story where you were second to your stepsister, you managed to focus on the very education your mother believed you would drop out of to earn your doctorate. While family support does make the path easier, what gave you the strength to push through to your doctorate? There is someone listening to this show that is suffering in their life right now, through hardship and lack of support that needs to hear how you made it and maybe tap into some of that energy and motivation to rise up on the other side of their experience.   

4. You have written a children’s book (PLEASE SEND ME A PICTURE OF THE COVER). What age group is your book pitched to and where can folks get a copy?   

5. What is an Etiquette Coach?   

6. Is there anything else you would like to share?
