Angel Jenkins is a woman of pride, purpose, and unwavering self-knowledge. As she prepares to step into the second half of her life at 50, Angel reframes aging as growth—not loss. Raised by a mature, self-preserving woman and deeply inspired by her 93-year-old grandmother, Angel learned early that life is about core values, not surface conversations.

In this episode, Angel shares defining moments that shaped her journey—including motherhood, quitting smoking cold turkey, navigating relationships without compromising her identity, and embracing the confidence she was born with (her third-grade teacher called her “Little Oprah,” and it shows!).

Angel’s message to women is rooted in hope, faith, and self-preservation. This conversation is a reminder that owning your shine means honoring where you come from, standing firm in who you are, and trusting God with where you’re going.

✨ This episode will inspire women to rise boldly, live intentionally, and shine unapologetically.

In this powerful episode of She Shines, Coach KG sits down with Dr. Nelva Lee—Panama native, educator, author, and candidate for Georgia Superintendent of Schools—for an inspiring conversation about answering the call to serve, even when the path is challenging.

Dr. Lee shares her journey from education and healthcare leadership to public service, rooted in a deep desire to be a champion for those without a voice. With over 20 years of experience as a vocational school CEO, adjunct professor, and healthcare leader, she brings a rare, holistic perspective to education and community impact.

We dive into:

• The defining moments that shaped Dr. Lee’s leadership and faith
• How her maternal grandmother and Condoleezza Rice inspired her courage and conviction
• What it truly means to “stay and fight” when purpose feels heavy
• Why education is foundational to opportunity, dignity, and generational change
• How women can step boldly into leadership—without waiting for permission

Dr. Lee also opens up about her Christian-based books, Stay and Fight and Be the Super Hero of Your Story, and offers encouragement to anyone feeling called to lead but wrestling with doubt.

This episode is a reminder that leadership starts with obedience, impact begins with courage, and your voice matters—especially when you use it for others.
