Can the quiet strength of one woman ripple into the lives of countless others? Join me, Carmen Cauthen, as I share my transformative journey from a lifetime of silence to becoming a vocal advocate for change. Inspired by my mother, who quietly but forcefully challenged racial stereotypes in the 60s, I explore the courage it takes to speak out on critical issues like housing and employment. Through personal stories of standing up in the office and the PTA, I illustrate how using our voices, even when it's uncomfortable or unpopular, can lead to meaningful change. Recognize your own power and understand the necessity of sometimes being loud and immediate in our actions to make the world a better place.Discover how embracing your voice and expressing your true self can empower you in every role you play—whether as a mother, wife, daughter, or professional. I delve into the empowerment that comes from being seen, heard, and making a difference for oneself. We'll talk about how reclaiming activities and joys from our past can reconnect us with our authentic selves and why setting boundaries is crucial for personal fulfillment. Learn how to say "no" to reclaim your time and space, ensuring that your purpose doesn't diminish with age or retirement.Join me in this episode for a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.====================================Carmen Wimberley Cauthen is an author, speaker, and lover of history, Black history in particular.
