“Every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others might not see you, simply because they’ve never seen it before. And we will applaud you every step of the way.” — Kamala Harris, Vice-President, United States of America

“(My personal mission is) to educate, empower and encourage others to be their best,” White told Making Headline News this week.
When asked how her competitive drive in life has greatly propelled her for her assortment of business endeavors, White said: “It propelled me because I am my own competition. I turned pain into purpose.”
Indeed, she has, as evidenced by the sustained success she has acquired throughout the years, most notably as a beloved U. S. Veteran and healthcare professional whose career spans some two-and-a-half decades.
Having acquired a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Education from University of Houston, White is currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Administration from Texas Southern University.
As for the forthcoming Presidential Lifetime Achievement Awards, White said this event figures to be as good as advertised, in large part because she will be afforded the golden opportunity to enrich and impact someone’s life.
Once again.

“It is imperative (to esteem other daily) because we need more positive and inspiring leaders in this world,” White told MHN. “(This platform is designed) to encourage others to overcome obstacles and (to remind them that) life is a journey.”
Appropriately and eloquently uttered by this beloved U. S. Veteran, who has proven she isn’t afraid to embrace all that life has to offer.
Even if it means doing it afraid.
