Challenges faced by women of color.
The speaker's commitment to giving back, sharing knowledge, and helping others is evident throughout their advocacy for women of color and their efforts to provide opportunities within their sphere of influence. They firmly believe that progress is achieved by advocating for others and actively seek out opportunities to share with others, as exemplified by their mention of Minda (Harts) and our host, Deneen.
Recognizing the power within.
Furthermore, the speaker discussed their entrepreneurial spirit inherited from their father. They emphasized the importance of elevating voices, sharing, and pouring into others. They highlighted that using one's voice can take various forms, such as speaking, writing, or dancing, and is a powerful expression of oneself.
Delayed dreams and personal growth.
Overall, the episode emphasizes the significance of self-acceptance, focusing on one's strengths, and continuous learning to adapt to a changing world. By avoiding comparisons and investing in personal growth, individuals can cultivate their unique abilities and stay relevant in their respective fields.
Memorable Quotes from Jennefer
00:10:21 - "We have to be there with our elbows and arms tied around each other to make sure that this momentum continues and it doesn't just peter out."
00:15:20 - "No one will know how great you are until you tell them."
00:16:18 - "Comparison is a theft of joy."
00:20:06 - "It's not that we have a fear of failure, we have a fear of being great."
About Deneen
Deneen L. Garrett is a Women's Empowerment speaker and podcaster, and creator & host of the Women of Color: An Intimate Conversation (formerly An Intimate Conversation with Women of Color) Podcast, and a Dream Lifestyle coach. Deneen specializes in helping women of color (WOC) who want more out of life live boldly to create a dream life.
In January of 2021, Deneen saw a tweet (don’t recall by whom) about going beyond Dream cars and Dream houses to pursuing a Dream Lifestyle. As she was preparing to retire from a 20+ year career as a Diversity & Inclusion/Talent Development professional this resonated with Deneen. She decided to chose “live” as her word for the year and “Live a Dream Lifestyle“ as her focus.
A Dream Life (style) is unique to each person. Using her 3+ D’s system; Dream, Decide, Drive led Deneen to “travel”; the main component of her Live a Dream Lifestyle™️. This consists of: Hopping on a plane to visit a museum. Meeting friends on an island. Spending a holiday abroad. Travel allows Deneen new experiences such as connecting with people of different cultures, tasting their food and seeing as they do. Additionally, Deneen loves to attend events; concerts, museums, games locally and while traveling. This along with impacting the lives of others is what makes up Deneen's Dream Life.
Having worked alongside women who dedicated 20+ years of their lives to their jobs and families and doing little for themselves, Deneen recognized many were delaying “living”. She was also saddened by a family member who retired then reentered the job force doing the very thing she disliked. This compelled Deneen to make it her mission to empower women of color to Live a Dream Life NOW. Not tomorrow, not after the kids are grown, and not after retirement. N O W!!!
What is your dream life? It could be finding joy in your work, pursuing entrepreneurship, or spending your days volunteering. Whatever you decide, Deneen shares the tools/mindset shifts/motivation to drive you towards YOUR Dream Life. Connect with Deneen to make your dream life a reality!
Deneen is also a 2023 Nominee for InspireU's Coach of the Year, Podcast of the Year and Speaker of the Year and a Podscar Nominee.
