How Storytelling Changed Everything for Me

Five years, three degrees—including an MBA—earned entirely debt-free with $52,000 in scholarships and grants. My secret? Storytelling.

But that achievement wasn’t handed to me. It was forged through chaos.

When my 14-year marriage ended in betrayal, my life as I knew it crumbled. In an instant, I became a single mother with no college degree, no work experience, and no plan.

I found myself in a cracked vinyl chair at Social Services, surrounded by crying toddlers and the hum of fluorescent lights, wondering how I would start over.

I didn’t have money. I didn’t have connections. But I had a story—one that deserved to be told.

Determined to rebuild my life, I wrote my way into opportunity. I applied for every scholarship I could find, pouring my truth onto the page—the struggle, the resilience, the vision for my future.

Then came an interview with a Women's Leadership Foundation. It was eight hours away. My low-wage job wouldn’t allow time off, and my boss was already irritated with my absences. But I knew this could be the opportunity that changed everything.

So I took the risk. I made the drive.

Sitting across from five women, I didn’t just list my hardships—I brought them into my world:

• The nights I cried myself to sleep, wondering how I would afford groceries.

• The weekends I spent bedridden, too exhausted to move.

• The court battles, the endless medical appointments, the weight of rebuilding from nothing.

I left that room wondering, Was it enough?Was I enough?

A week later, the answer came: I won the scholarship.

That $5,000 per year didn’t just fund my education. It became the domino that set everything else in motion:

✅ Speaking engagements at women’s leadership events.
✅ Representing 400 scholarship recipients for my university.
✅ Completing my MBA in a hybrid format, thanks to a personal connection with the university provost.
✅ Finding my confidence, my calling, and my voice.

All because I was willing to share my story.
