“Working with Essence has been nothing short of inspiring. She is more than an athlete—she is a powerful leader who knows how to instill confidence, discipline, and purpose in young people. Her words and presence unite the entire community. The impact she has on the kids we serve is visible every single day. She is a true role model.”

“The energy, love, and professionalism Essence brings to our program are extraordinary. She doesn’t just teach young people to dream—she shows them how to achieve those dreams. Her experience, humility, and communication skills add something special to every session. She is the kind of person you meet once and never forget.”.

“I’ve seen firsthand how Essence connects with kids, motivates them, and helps them build real confidence. After attending her workshop, my son transformed—more focused, more confident, and more driven. Essence doesn’t just teach; she creates change. Our gratitude for her is endless.”
