MORE ABOUT RAHKAL
Sometimes, numbers do lie! Statistics say children raised in domestically violent homes and/or homes filled with substance abuse and poverty are less likely to succeed and more likely to become products of their environment. These are my statistics, but this isn't my story. I firmly believe in dreaming bigger, living purposefully, owning your narrative, and that your past doesn't have to dictate your future.
Born to a 19-year-old heroin and cocaine addict on the rough South Side of Chicago, raised in poverty, drugs, domestic violence, and fatherless, resilience and overcoming adversities is my middle name. Humble beginnings drive my desire to advocate for women of color and marginalized individuals.
As a first-gen college grad and champion for emotional wellness, I am passionate about helping individuals thrive personally and professionally.
I work with organizations and individuals to develop talent and break free of self-imposed restrictions while cultivating harmony and strategy to live more significantly. My mission is to serve, inspire, and help individuals confidently identify, own, and live out their God-given purpose. With over a decade of professional experience, I've worked in many capacities, including broadcast media, project management, and education. My creativity, knack for organizing, keen attention to detail, and passion for speaking have garnered opportunities to work for conglomerates, including CNN, Warner Media (formerly Turner Broadcasting System Inc.), iHeartMedia, and Fox Chicago News.
I am a proud HBCU alum with a Master's in Media Communications and Training from Governors State University and a Bachelor's in Radio/TV/Film from Texas Southern University.
I love to blog about my faith in Jesus Christ, being a newlywed, and professional development strategies.
