Unshackled Leadership: A Lantern for Black Women

In this episode of Unshackled Leadership: A Lantern for Black Women, Joia Jefferson Nuri sits down with author and motivator Tanisha Yerby for an inspiring conversation about dreams, faith, purpose, and what it takes to move from wanting something more to actually pursuing it.

Tanisha is the author of From Dreams to Drive: Trust God’s Plan, Embrace Your Gifts, and Walk in Purpose, a deeply personal and faith-filled book that encourages women to stop allowing fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt to keep them from the lives they know they are meant to live.

Together, Joia and Tanisha explore what happens when you have a dream but don’t know how to make it real. They talk about trusting God when the path isn’t clear, recognizing the gifts already within you, finding the courage to move forward, and understanding that purpose requires more than dreaming—it requires action.

This is a conversation for every woman who has ever thought, There has to be more for me than this.

Your dream may be waiting for something very simple: you to begin.
