GRIT & GRACE Women Trailblazers

by Kinyatta E. Gray When I think of a trailblazer, I think of someone who knows it, shows it, and owns it. I think of a pioneer and an innovator who has created and lit the path for others to follow.

Having spent time blazing a few trails myself, I know that the stakes are high, which is why this is not the place for the weak and insecure.

A trailblazer understands the assignment and works to deliver because they know their legacy depends on it.

Trailblazers are also passionate about leaving an indelible mark on the lives of others. They seek opportunities to give back, mentor, motivate, and inspire. They seek to educate and enlighten those around them. They also seek to lead an army of self-starting go-getters intrinsically motivated to live and achieve their best lives.

Trailblazers are the rare, the unstoppable, and the determined. They don’t seek the spotlight, the spotlight craves for them. They possess grit and grace.

As you turn the following few pages, I’ll introduce you to six women trailblazers who are fastcharging pioneers in their industries. These women are highly sought after for their wisdom and ability to lead and influence hundreds and even thousands of people.

These women have achieved massive success and accolades alike for the impact they’ve made in their communities, business, humanity, and the world in general.
