My credentials: every teacher I ever had that wrote “talks too much” on my report cards. Then there was that time I explained to Granny, God rest her soul, why I was flying to different states and standing on stages ... to which she responded, “You’ve jibber jabbered since the day you were born. Sometimes I’d say, ‘Raquel, why don’t you shut up for a minute.’ But it didn’t do me no good. You were made for this. I’m proud of you.” Truth be told, I consider myself more of a writer than a speaker but folks don't seem to mind when I yap these days too so if you’d like me to come talk or teach at your upcoming event, just fill out the form below!
