Content Warning: This episode covers topics of bullying and mentions of attempted suicide. 


The seeds of purpose are often planted when we least expect it. As you might expect, Rasheda Williams did not realize the relentless bullying she experienced as a child, and the wise advice she received from a teacher would spark a profound change in her perspective, leading to the life-changing work she does today. 

In the episode, Rasheda and I discuss her path to youth mentorship and shaping the future generation of women!

Rasheda Kamaria Williams is an award-winning mentor, speaker and author of “Be EmPOWERed: How to Live Above & Beyond Life’s Drama." She is the founder and chief empowering officer for Empowered Flower Girl and a staunch youth advocate.

In this episode, Rasheda and I discuss:

  • Rasheda opens up about her experience with bullying and the invaluable support she received after opening up to a teacher. 
  • Social media presence and digital footprints create a new layer when it comes to where and how younger generations are bullied nowadays. 
  • How what started as an unexpected opportunity to speak in schools turned into a much bigger initiative for Rasheda with the creation of Empowered Flower Girl. 

Change is inevitable. That’s why I designed the Day by Daybook®, a guided journal to help you face the discomfort of those shifts in life that are pushing you to that next level of growth and learning. Get your Day by Daybook® here.
