Empowerment Is The Focus, towards E.L.E.V.A.T.E

 

I am a faith-based Entrepreneur originating from Barbados but based in Atlanta, Georgia where I migrated to the United States at 18 years old in the state of New York first, then moving to Atlanta in later years. Over time I successfully structured a strategic, purpose-filled plan for my life to become a successful empowerment speaker, author, coach, publisher and adjunct professor.

 

Many may be unaware but I was actually born a mute – no speech. I only began to speak at three years of age where I recalled the neighbors laughing at me when I began to attempt speaking because I stuttered very badly at that time. Some friends today often make me recount on those days I stuttered; reminding me of the earlier years where I found myself posted in the front window so my mother could have easy access to ensure my safety. Some of the passing neighbors nicknamed me “Dummy.”

 

Some years on....

 

While newbies were creating podcast space I started from that point of view by manipulating code and sharing my voice on the internet before anyone I knew did it. The first experience yielded a listener that asked me if I were LIVE. A brief discussion with the person allowed him to know that I was doing a recording. The subsequent conversation led to me becoming the strategic pioneer for the development of a business model called ANVOI (Audio & Video Over the Internet). I continued to build out an opportunity matrix for others to share their values by offering guest spots. The concept caught on and CaribVoice Radio was officially birthed as part of the 501c3 model for the Caribbean Voice, a newspaper emanating out of NY. I was living in a small town named Winder, Ga. in a county called Barrow. As things grew folks reached out and we built an audience. That relationship lasted until the primary owners could not get their act together for a proper collaboration to keep things moving properly. The initiative died swiftly. Transition was ordained in a sense because then I linked with a new company called ComeSeeTv, I offered strategic support and promotional collaboration. That company recently celebrated its 10th anniversary as part of the Krystallion group out of Dominica. I believe that old school meeting new media in the form of internet connectivity and social media will transform and has transformed personal and professional lives. The question of what makes us different as an offering is what has become and will remain pivotal as we transfer our life into the digital world.
