Motivational Monday – Martha Empowers Podcast celebrates Womyn’s Her-Story Month with the release of episode #5 - “Fierce, First-Gen and on Fire” with my good friend Marisel Herrera, a leader, author, national speaker, consultant, and Certified Coach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z73e3t6Nuvo.
Marisel is one of the nation’s top higher education professionals advancing first-generation student success by founding an award-winning coaching center at the largest university in the U.S., coaching hundreds of students, consulting institutions, and training college access and success professionals with evidence-based coaching approaches to outreach and retention.
With her heartfelt and uplifting messages, Marisel messages affirm the power of education, resiliency, culture to transform one’s life.
This belief is personal. She was the student who almost fell through the cracks and relationships that meaningfully engaged her were the difference-makers.
She holds a graduate degree in Education and received leadership and coaching certifications from several prestigious institutions. The author of 2 books: Puerto Rican Goldilocks: A Lyrical Journey Through El Barrio: a memoir about her first-generation journey and Lean Into Grace: Power Up for a Fierce & Fearless Life- a coaching book for women, Marisel is also CEO of MariselSpeaks and creator of the ARISE™ Success Coaching model.
It is my honor to share with you this beautiful and empowering conversation with my friend Marisel on what it means to be a 1st generation student, learn ways to overcome imposter syndrome, and how to embrace our 1st generation, luchadora, and resilient identity. (http://mariselspeaks.com/).
