I am an ACTivator of talent, creating a world where multicultural women in positions of power are the norm. I know what it takes to activate people's gifts and how they can use them to live a life of purpose. I understand first-hand what it is like to combat societal pressures and know that a transformation must take place to defy your fears. Healing, Elevation, and Respect (H.E.R.) are essential ingredients for success. I believe we all have divine gifts waiting to be activated. I have embarked on a journey to empower every woman to realize their divine purpose and Achieve, Confidence and Transformation (A.C.T.). H.E.R.A.C.T. is a proven transformational framework anchored on research, real-life experiences, biblical principles, and the P.E.R.M.A. theory.
As the founder of the H.E.R.A.C.T and the first-ever ACTivate Conference, I'm determined and ready to transform women's minds about themselves positively. I believe we each have unique gifts to contribute to society. However, we often do not realize our full potential because of fear, a limiting belief, or conformity. Cultural messaging and conditioning cause limiting beliefs to become so deeply rooted in us; they become a part of us. In today's hyper-consumerist society, it is easy to spend your life pursuing material things and careers, only to find that we are miserable once we have achieved these things. We lack peace because we failed to heal and have compassion for both ourselves and others. I want women to re-evaluate their values, and it starts with valuing themselves and seeing how God sees them—like the apple of His eye.
I'm a wife, mother, book author, co-founder of Color Forward, non-profit board member, kingdom advocate, and proven Human Resources Executive with more than 20 years of experience working for various Fortune 100 companies in North America and Latin America. I earned a doctorate in Strategic Leadership. My leadership expertise includes Diversity & Inclusion, Talent Management, Workforce Planning, Leadership Consulting, Culture Change, Executive Coaching, Content Developer, and Public Speaking. I believe my diverse experiences and education have equipped me with a deep understanding of the needs and opportunities critical to leaders and associates alike at all levels.
I'm a native of Puerto Rico and currently reside in Frisco, Texas, with my husband Paul Simeon and our family. I credit my success to Jesus Christ. "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13.
