The Audacity to be Empowered is an anthology of 25 phenomenal women who overcame the things that were meant to hinder them, break them, block them, or destroy them. These women refused to let their past define them or temporary circumstances derail them. Each of them decided to push past the people, places, or things that were holding them back and take a leap of faith. They instinctively knew that what lay ahead of them was infinitely greater, and they decided to go for it! Hopefully, after you read each of their chapters, you will have the audacity to be empowered and unlock the greatness waiting for you to propel your way into limitless possibilities and opportunities.
