After graduating from Howard University and then pursuing my MBA at Harvard Business School, I thought my career path was destined for corporate C-suites—but life had other plans.
In 1988, as a single mother of two, faced with a difficult divorce after 10 years of domestic violence, my goal was to bring in an extra $200 per week—just enough to afford daycare for my children.
I began selling Mary Kay® products to supplement my income. Within a year, I set company sales records. Soon after, my business grew to over $35 million in retail sales, leading a team of over 6,000 consultants around the world.
Now, I work with winners like YOU to
overcome challenges, sharpen your skills, and actualize your full potential.
Harvard Business School even documented my success in a case study that became part of graduate-level textbooks and is taught to business students nationwide—demonstrating how my strategies and resilience left a lasting impact on the industry.
But my real mission? To be the mentor I once needed. To be relatable, approachable, and real—the one who gives you clarity, confidence, and the tools to thrive.
