GUESTS:

Tywanah Evette: Tywanah's journey is one of profound resilience and self-discovery. Born prematurely in 1975, she and her mother faced life-threatening challenges, including pneumonia. Her charismatic yet troubled biological father left deep emotional scars. At 15, Tywanah confronted her painful past but experienced abandonment from her family. Navigating the NYC group home system, she found solace in motherhood at 18, despite societal pressures. After enduring a tumultuous marriage and a debilitating car accident in 2004, she persevered. In 2020, a malevolent teacher pushed her to despair, leading to a near-fatal crisis. However, a spiritual connection with her mother rekindled hope. Despite profound loss, including estrangement from her children, Tywanah emerged stronger, inspired by her ancestral lineage. Now, through her initiative, Black Butterfly Goddess, she aims to inspire others to embrace authenticity and offers unconditional love and support. 

Rev. Dr. Xenia Barnes: Dr. Xenia Barnes is a distinguished Social and Behavioral Scientist, keynote speaker, and trauma expert whose groundbreaking work bridges academic research with practical community intervention. As the architect of the "Trauma-to-Triumph Transformation Model" and a leading voice disrupting the culture of betrayal in the workforce and marginalized communities, she has pioneered innovative approaches to healing and resilience in urban communities.
