“One of the first things that come to mind about my Surge experience is my inability to intellectualize what was a transformative and spiritual experience. I entered the Fellowship thinking that I would surely sharpen my executive skills and broaden my network so that I could be ready for a “seat at the table” on behalf of our babies. What I didn’t know was that I would experience a shift in my soul. From the leaders that entered our space to share their unfiltered knowledge and wisdom to the deep connections I made with my Surge sisters and brothers, I am forever changed and ready to illuminate every space that I sit in with truth, authenticity, vulnerability, and power. Surge will forever be part of my life and I will forever be a champion of the movement.”
