In this episode I sit down with educator and public speaker Ayanna Crawford about the power of using your voice to lead, heal, and set boundaries. Ayanna shares how a life-changing moment at 16 taught her to speak up without violence—and how that decision lead to her living on her purpose today! We speak about setting clear boundaries, how to respond in tough situations, communicating with intention, and with all that to build your confidence. If communication is something you want to improve or even if you want a fresh perspective, then this episode is for you! #enoughsaid #voicesinpower
