How Determination Saved Me and How it Can Change the World | Roquita Coleman-Williams | TEDxMemphis

Roquita Coleman-Williams explains why corporations should empower managers to be community activist and civic leaders. She uses her own personal story of resilience and leadership as an African American woman in the male-dominated transportation industry to show how civic leadership can lead to the diversity and inclusion modern companies are working towards. Managers who are engaged in servant leadership and have philanthropic responsibilities are more fulfilled and use problems-solving skills in civic space to add value for the organization.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Phenomenal woman you are, standing and speaking your truth. Phenomenal woman whom you were born to be. Your attitude and demeanor and knowledge is unacknowledged and some time not spoken for reasons not to mention stay focused and your blessings will continue. Be that Phenomenal Woman That you are meant to be....

    Just had time to listen and I am so glad I finally got to hear this! This is inspirational! Inspiration works wonders when it penetrates to the core of your being allowing you to arrive at a point where a tangible successful action comes forth as a direct result.

    I am inspired by your remarks, my friend. While I've been away from Memphis for 5 years, now, I was in Memphis for 5 years. Defining the immutable values that are deep within each of us, expresses our humanity. You humanity, your humility, and your avoidance of even a hint of profanity (for your kids), stand as beacons by which others can be guided. You lit up my life this morning, Roquita. Thank you for being true to your deep, inner self. In that, you demonstrate the warmth, faith and loving kindness that highlight how the trials you face, or that anyone faces, can make us stronger individuals, team members, and citizens.
