She believes that when a girl recognizes that the choices they make everyday is what shapes their reality, it helps reduce blame and excuse making.  As the founder of A Woman’s Standard, Tierica helps train educators to assist young ladies to see the power they hold and fall in love with themselves like never before.  Join host Kristy Houle, as she chats with Tierica about unpacking the emotional suitcase and how it can greatly impact a young girls academic environment.

“It’s a great feeling knowing there’s a need, the not so great feeling is all of the barriers that are still in the way between me actually delivering these services in the way that I need to.”

 

“When I see the girls that are doing positive things or representing what we want to see, in young women, then I do my best to celebrate them, to put them at the forefront and position them  in front of other young women so that we can create more examples.”
