“This is what I want at this moment. And this is what I want moving forward.”

In this episode, Sherell is joined by Felecia Hatcher as she reiterates the importance of knowing what you truly want to embark on in life.

Felecia Hatcher, Author of Genius Jam and CEO of Black Ambition Prize, shares the importance of living in the moment, regardless of the stage in life you’re in. Felecia also shares valuable insights on unlearning as a way to reinvent yourself, on how opportunities present themselves to you, and simply answering the question of, “What do I want?” So tune in to this episode and reflect on how you could cultivate your authentic self as you build personal and professional relationships.
