Your background isn't baggage. It's your blueprint. Aka Ali Kerr proves purpose doesn't skip over hard beginnings.
What if everything you've been through was never wasted, it was preparation?
That's exactly what my latest guest, Aka Ali-Kerr, embodies. She grew up in Trinidad in a single-parent home surrounded by things no child should witness. And yet from age four or five, she made a decision: I will shape myself. My circumstances don't get to do that.
Twenty-four years in Human Resources. A book she literally spoke into existence; one chapter, every Sunday, after church. A coaching and speaking practice she never planned for, born out of pure obedience to a calling she kept trying to ignore.
Sound familiar?
If you're sitting on a gift you haven't said yes to yet, this episode is for you. If your background has made you feel disqualified, this episode is for you. Aka is a living testimony that purpose doesn't skip over hard beginnings, it often starts there.
As she says: "Failure was never an option, but it was always information."
Say yes to the whisper.
With love, Heather
