On this episode, my guest is Shametria Gonzales. I first encountered Shametria when I served as a judge for the Great American Speak Off and heard her phenomenal speech. Shametria is an Inspiring Motivational Speaker, Co-Founder, Real Estate Investor, And Founder Of Unleash To Speak. She co-authored Reflection Eyes See with her daughter and The HBCU Experience which she co-authored with 40 graduates from Southern University. She is also the Co-Founder of Home For Grace, providing housing for women, and runs a coaching program for individuals that are looking to take their career as a speaker to a new level.

How can we go from tragedy to triumph?

In this week's podcast, we talked about:


  • Her story about how she came out of human trafficking, rose up to become an author and co-founder of Home For Grace, and finding her place in the world with her daughter
  • Her experience speaking at The Great American Speakoff
  • Her advocacy work at Home for Grace. She started out of college as a community organizer and was soon over the Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault and part of the New Orleans Family Justice Center and over a re-entry program. She also co-created Home For Grace with a realtor and takes her clients through a 12-month program of healing. Her program provides women with a fair chance for a new start and a safe place to heal.
  • What trafficking truly means and uncovering the truth behind the unloved and the coerced
  • How her program, Unleash to Speak helps one to use their voice to get what God has for them.
  • The power of protecting our intellectual property
  • Her process of co-authoring a book with her daughter and the gift it has provided her in parenting

She also shared some tips about:
  • Balancing motherhood while making the world a better place
  • How she overcame challenges in the entrepreneurial space
  • Words of encouragement and a few special quotes I like to call "Shametria-isms"!
