This episode Miracle inspires us with her drive to share knowledge and resources to help other women build their networth in honor of female empowerment and push for gender equality.

Olatunji on her inspiration for her book, Purpose: How To Live and Lead with Impact:
_06:26 "I truly believe that each and every one of us has the potential to do awesome things in this world, and we can leave the world just a little bit better than. It was when we first met it."

Olatunji on the questions we should ask ourselves when pursuing personal goals:
_15:26 " I think oftentimes we're always thinking about why we can't do something, rather we should think about why we can and (what) potential that we have and instead of focusing on: 'What are my limitations as a woman?' 'What are my limitations as a person of color?' (Instead) how can I overcome that and like be focused on my goals and also like build a community of support around me so that I can achieve those goals faster."
