We had the good fortune of connecting with Tecola Burrows and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tecola, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I see risk as to the next level to your breakthrough. Risks have the ability to capitulate you to the right where you belong. I believe risk and trust in God go hand in hand. The risks I have taken have played a major role in my life because, in order to take the risks I had to trust the person who would catch me once I fall, That’s God. notice I said when I fall because it will happen but who do you trust? what do you believe in? it was my belief that makes the risk and fall all worth it. it took me from the back to the front. from being afraid to use my voice to now using my voice on multiple platforms including my very own podcast show. it has bought out my creativity and increased my faith most imprortantly.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a solutionist. My books, podcast, and digital world set me apart from the rest because of my creativity. I see the world as one big problem that needs fast action tools to solve. I am excited to continue to provide those tools to enhance women and men all around the world, who are losing hope and feel like nothing is working. I’m only here today by the grace of God and being able to live to tell the story. It was not easy, but worth it! The challenges of being a single mom and a working mom made me stronger and wiser I became a strategist. The strategies I have learned through the obstacles I have faced have helped me to give back to others, especially women who are in the same place I once was. I have learned to be wiser in my decision-making and learning to put myself first in order to help others. I must be okay with who I am and where I’m going. By keeping the end goal in full front I am able to accomplish those tasks. My brand and story are built on faith. My life is built on the faith I have and the practical tools I have put in place provided by the Holy Spirit to help shift mindsets. The fast action tools I provide through ebooks, podcasting, speaking, courses, etc. are easily applicable but the person must be willing to do the work. Life is all a big problem to solve but we have the key as long as we have the faith to believe it can be done. no excuses!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost shoutout to GOD! He has been the ultimate person writing my story. My family, Sisters-Allison Angol, Jahirah Poole-Capron, and my mentor Somalia Brown.
