With a name like Sparkle my guest this week failed to disappoint! A high achiever, a role model, a strong black woman that graduated first in her class, received a college basketball scholarship, and fell into a successful career in retail right out of college. Sparkle set a trend within her family as she was the first of 5 siblings to earn a colligate athletic scholarship including Pro Bowl NFL running back Phillip Lindsay.
Listen in as Sparkle shares her incredible journey with us, describing the pressures of being the Strong Black Women that didn't cry for several years. This even when facing tragic circumstances that include an auto immune disease that placed her in a wheelchair and out of a basketball scholarship, and a co-worker committing suicide right in front of her. Learn how she masked her emotions, hit rock bottom, took action to take ahold of her sobriety, and most importantly how she empowers people
