It is both a joy and a heavy responsibility to serve in spaces where advocacy, education, and care intersect. If you are considering or continuing a path of service, I encourage reflection before ambition. Pause and acknowledge your roots. Embrace who you are today. Clearly define who you aspire to become tomorrow. I call this framework “From the Roots to the Rise.” When identity, values, and vocation align, a career becomes more than a profession — it becomes a calling. And when service is rooted in love and guided by purpose, its impact becomes both transformative and enduring. Stay tuned. The next session will be announced soon.
