I’ve had opportunities to work in various industries such as Finance/Banking, Academe, and Tech/Telecom. I graduated with an organizational communication degree, advanced degree in PR, and spent at least 10 years in Corporate Communications and PR. I deviated from PR career when I was introduced to the world of finance and investing. I still use my Communications and PR background for my entrepreneurial and social consciousness pursuits such as myMBA.

I know how you feel. I know what it feels like to count, portion control, meal plan, spend hours googling for the best weight loss plan. As a registered dietitian and personal trainer for over 14 years, I can tell you that the secret to your plan lies in the catered to you nutrition services. It is not in a diet. It is not in a pill. It is learning to eat for you. I have done the research and continue to improve. I graduated with a master’s in nutrition. I continue to educate myself. And as I scale I have new certifications in energy mastery and many more. Connect with Lesie here

For years I felt I had to sacrafice myself and take care of others. The word “no” was not in my vocabulary. It took me years to understand I matter, I could say no to others and yes to myself.
My upbringing was not supportive, this affected me deeply and ran my life until I crashed. It was my crash that allowed me to find the power to take care of me. It is time for us all to take care of us. Connect with Kim here.
