Millennial Woman Making a Difference Meagan, a new mom who has welcomed her son on October 4th, 2016. She recognizes the challenges ahead. “So many things to overcome as a woman in business. Everyday we are going against stereotypes. I promised myself that above all I would not loose focus of my goals.” Excited about welcoming her bundle of joy, she knows that building her family will make her journey ahead more meaningful. “Now I will have a part of me that enhances everything that I am doing.” She leads by example and service. “Being a leader is not about you. It’s about creating other leaders, I am a reflection of role models that I had.” She tell all those who want to walk in her shoes to “Get Your Feet Wet” and “Be Open to Change.” She believes many of us get stuck being unhappy because we are not open to change. She attests “As women we change and in college we change. Resisting change will hinder us from our purpose.” Meagan is still embracing change as she transitions to become a public speaker. This past summer she was a panelist and speaker at the RISE Empowerment Weekend conference alongside names such as, Karen Civil and Angelic Nwandu. Meagan is ready to embrace life for all that is in store. “I can never see myself doing anything else. I can wake up and do what I love. I love connecting women and helping them become successful.” Society wanted me to be something different than what I wanted to be. 12 Fall/Winter 2016 | NURAMagazine.com
