Andi Rose is an Oak Cliff girl who decided to Boss Up.
She never succumbed to society just to make it; she went through the struggle for the purpose of others.“Comfort zones are where dreams go to die! I clearly see now that my blackness has been a journey to wholeness as the death of my parents and winning the war over cancer finally just woke my ass up.” I was diagnosed with breast cancer one month after the burial of my mother and just two months past my 34th birthday. I imagined death around me everyday as the stench of failure lurked over my head. I had to choose would I live or die and with either choice I made I had to ask myself the real question, “For who?”. The pain from rejection, loneliness, and illness was enough for me to choose, but intuitively I heard there was purpose in my pain. The world needs more “Truth Tellers”, those that have survived storms and stand in validation of their own resilience. Where you’re from, What you come from and Who you come from will NEVER define Who you will BECOME. |
Andi transparently shares her journeys from diagnosis to survivor, classroom to the boardroom, and broken to chosen as well as how to continue to level up daily despite what people had to say. This has led her to coach, motivate and teach young girls as well as women how to defy the odds through her journals of affirmations entitled “You say but I say” and “Released to Greatness”. She motivates others to keep going! Even when it hurts, people must choose the path to greatness and learn from hurtfulness. Life is about the choices we make, overcoming the circumstances and getting to know and love your authentic self.
“In order to rise from its own ashes A phoenix First Must Burn.”― Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents As the story goes, the phoenix is a mythical bird with fiery feathers that lives up to 100 years. Near the end of its life, it settles into its nest of twigs which then burns fiercely, reducing bird and nest to ashes. And from those ashes, a phoenix rises – renewed and reborn. To rise like a phoenix from the ashes means to emerge from a catastrophe stronger, smarter and more powerful. Although life has been set on fire, from the ashes my purpose was transformed AND I ROSE… UnBought, UnBossed!!! |
