Knowledge is power. We have seen this manifestation all through history.
I want to inspire girls and women to reach their full potential by creating the person they want to be instead of just “becoming someone”. Take control of your life, your health, your character, your personae, your reputation, your career; and give rise to the awesome person you were meant to be. While perfection is an insane construct, one can still achieve a personal definition of an ideal existence, perfectly crafted through experience, education and epiphany. We embrace a lifestyle of learning, growing, and perfecting; and with this simple formula we can become powerful in every aspect of our life.
