Women in Leadership

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Growing up as a chocolate-brown African American girl who used a wheelchair Tameka Citchen-Spruce heard no far too often. No-you can't be a model. No-you're not good enough. No-your dreams aren't possible. But Tameka refused to let those no's define her. With faith determination and a clear sense of purpose she turned rejection into redirection-advocating for inclusion in school founding a nonprofit to empower women with disabilities and producing a nationally streamed documentary amplifying Black girlhood. In From No to Yes Tameka shares how she transformed obstacles into opportunities rising as a national speaker award-winning disability advocate and film producer. Her journey is a powerful reminder to anyone who has ever been underestimated: Their no does not cancel your yes.</span></p>
