Woman Wednesday: Valencia D.


Q and A with Valencia D. from
Capitol Heights, Maryland

“There’s a risk of losing ourselves in the fast-paced nature of life if we fail to pay attention and stay true to our core values.”


Q: What are you passionate about?

A: I have a deep passion for empowering individuals to achieve healing and become their healthiest, most authentic selves by equipping them with the essential tools and support.

Q: What were your younger years like?

A: I matured quickly and encountered a myriad of challenges throughout my upbringing, including witnessing mental illness, a lack of self-love, low self-esteem, drug-related issues, violence, and abuse within my family. The early loss of my father at the age of six introduced me to trauma, which significantly influenced my life.

Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?

A: I’ve embraced the principle of trusting the process and resisting external pressures to conform to someone else’s expectations. Early on, I recognized that I may not resonate with everyone, and I’ve come to accept that as a natural part of life. Embracing my authentic self has become a paramount aspect of my identity, and I navigate life with the unwavering confidence to be true to who I am without hesitation.

Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: Though we’ve made significant progress from our past, affording us greater capabilities and opportunities, it’s crucial to stay mindful and authentic. Even with the advancements, there’s a risk of losing ourselves in the fast-paced nature of life if we fail to pay attention and stay true to our core values.
