To me, being Dauntless is about having the courage to be yourself, even when you feel out of place. It means standing tall, staying true to your purpose, and realizing that courage is not about having no fear, but about moving forward anyway.
I practice being Dauntless by choosing how I use my voice, education, influence, and experiences. As a nurse practitioner, healthcare advocate, educator, entrepreneur, and mother, I have learned that meaningful work often comes from challenging the norm and questioning the way things have always been done.
Whether I am advocating for better access to HIV prevention and PrEP, making sure Black women feel included in conversations about sexual health, leading a clinical team, building my own platform, or showing my daughters how to follow their purpose without apology, I try to lead with courage, strength, and authenticity.
Being Dauntless also means knowing I do not have to choose between compassion and power. I can be educated and relatable. I can be both a clinician and an entrepreneur. I can be a mother and still chase my own big dreams. I can enter spaces where I might not be expected and know I belong because I have something valuable to offer.
For me, Dauntless is not just about being fearless. It is about being so driven by purpose that fear and judgment do not get the last word.
If I had the power to change one thing about the world, I would eliminate the inequities that determine who gets access, who gets heard, and ultimately, who gets the opportunity to thrive. I would also change the narrative of “women having to be perfect and well-behaved” in order to be BIG!
I see these unfair differences most clearly in healthcare, but they exist in many other areas too. Where you live, your race, gender, income, education, or who you love should never decide the quality of care you get, the chances you have, or whether your voice is valued.
Working in HIV prevention and community health has shown me that people often have plenty of motivation. What they really need is better access, information, representation, and someone to stand with them. That’s why I care so much about taking healthcare and education beyond clinics and into real communities, conversations, social media, and the places where people already are.
I especially want women, and especially Black and Brown women, to see themselves included in talks about HIV prevention, sexual wellness, leadership, business, and personal growth. Too often, people are only mentioned in statistics instead of being part of the solutions.
If I could change the world, I would make it a place where opportunity isn’t just a matter of luck. I want a world where everyone has fair access, knowledge gives people power, and each person can make informed choices about their health, future, and life.
When people have access, education, and the freedom to speak up for themselves, we don’t just change one life. We change families, communities, and even future generations.
