Unleashing Potential: Cultivating Youth Resiliency through Equity in Education and Life
Don't miss, me, Kimberly Y. Erwin, as I host this enlightening episode of RACE TALKS® on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at 7:00pm on WGXC-90.7 FM. Joining me are my guest TALKers, Macena and Veronica! Together, we share stories to help empower our youth to unleash their full potential in education and life.
Meet Macena L. Mason - a determined writer, inspiring speaker, and emerging entrepreneur, dedicated to turning challenges into triumphs. In her autobiographical works, like "A Struggle Equals Goals," Macena shares her journey through the trials of epilepsy. In her upcoming release, "From Joseph to David," her path from adversity to empowerment is chronicled. Through her powerful storytelling, Macena fearlessly addresses societal biases and personal obstacles, motivating others to overcome racism and recognize their inherent value. As the founder of "I Can Fly, So Can You," Macena's entrepreneurial drive serves as a beacon of hope, empowering individuals to pursue their dreams despite any barriers.
"With host Kimberly Y. Erwin, Macena delves into her empowering stories and discusses her upcoming book releases. Their conversation explores the transformative power of resilience and inclusion, inspiring listeners to pursue their aspirations no matter the size."~ICC CHANNEL reporter
Introducing Veronica Williams, M.Ed. - a dedicated educator, entrepreneur, and advocate for educational equity. As the founder & owner of Help Me Pass, LLC, Veronica is passionate about empowering students to excel academically, guiding them through challenging tasks and helping them achieve "above-average" grades.
