eoshia “Meo” Burgess is a young leader in our community from Charlotte, NC. who is inspiring people from ages 2 to 92 and she’s only 15 years of age. Her resume includes speaker, host, model, advocate and AUTHOR! Vision and Purpose Community Magazine had the pleasure to sit down for a special interview with the Charlotte Princess, Meo where we discussed her story of becoming an author, her new book project and being known as the voice of the youth aka the “Youth Messenger”. It was truly an honor to listen to how to young lady discovered her purpose and the vision she has for the future. Meoshia Burgess fell into her purpose. At the age of eight, she passed out during track practice and was rushed to the hospital. She was literally laying on her death bead. Doctors had no clue what happened or why she passed out. She underwent a series of tests and examinations to help doctors figure out what was wrong with her. They told her mom that there was not much they could do for young Meo but keep her comfortable. That didn’t sit well with her mom. While her mother pushed the doctors to find out what was wrong, she also made sure Meo was encouraged. She would bring her inspirational quotes daily. This simple daily exercise inspired her first book, 60 Days of Hope & Inspiration. This is where the journey of becoming an author started for Meo.
