In life, it can be difficult to understand and recognize our truth and desires. 

We often get stuck in our everyday routines and forget to take a step back and reflect on what we truly want. However, it is essential to take the time to recognize our truth and desires in order to live a fulfilling life.

My guest today, Dynasty Taylor, found that one way to recognize her truth was to embrace the darkness. The darkness isn’t meant to be scary, but rather a place of clarity.

Dynasty is a service-focused Social Worker and Program Director with a strong commitment to serving the needs of disadvantaged youth and adults, including homeless, emancipated youth, and special needs populations. Dynasty is a  locally known African American Social Worker (ACSW) born and raised in South Los Angeles.  Dynasty graduated from Dorsey Miller High School, Cal State Northridge, with a Bachelors in Sociology minor in Criminal Justice, and the University of Southern California with a Masters in Social Work concentrating on families and children. At the age of 23, she became the CEO and Founder of a (501c3) community-based non-profit organization called Dynasty's United Youth Association that has provided free educational, career, and mental health programming to at-risk youth ages 5-18 for the past nine years.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Empowering yourself through education

• Healing trauma with self-love

• Celebrating yourself

• Working through your darkness to see the light
