Who Am I, You Ask?
Hey Y’all!I’m Raquila-D’Nai (pronounced, Ruh-kill-uh Duh-Nay)! As a former military spouse and stay-at-home mom, it was important for me to not only care for my family then but to look ahead and prepare for life in the future. Fast forward a few years and I'm a single mom to daughters who are incredible human beings and a professional educator (add to my list of titles: professor, speaker, podcaster, and consultant), whose desire to use my gift of words has come full circle.
With over a 15 years of experience as an educator and enough degrees to line my office walls, my greatest focus is to blend experience and communication in a way that allows me to engage and encourage; professionally and personally. Using the skills I have refined while managing all of the hats I wear, I've learned how to connect with my audience and bring forth creativity and inspiration.
Above all other titles consider myself to be an Overcomer. I have overcome so many things only by the unconditional grace and mercy of Jesus. You name it, I probably did it (twice); addiction to alcohol, heartbreak, failure, quitting, frivolous retail therapy (AKA debt), depression, low self-image, and the list goes on. I have also been blessed with an amazing circle of people who loved and supported me through those complex and (sometimes dismal) experiences. It is from those dark times and great triumphs that I gained the personal experience that, when combined with the knowledge earned from completing three degrees and continued training that I now use to equip others from behind my mic to lecture halls and boardrooms.
