If there is one thing that Daysha strives to do every day it is to live life on her own terms, and through her own voice. And she wants nothing more but to instill that value into the minds of her readers. But she knows how hard it is to get there. So she created Unapologetically Me as a space where she will share personal essays about her journey towards building self-confidence in many different realms of her life. By seeing how she thinks about things, she hopes to inspire you to be a lil' more unapologetic too! (Unapologetically fierce, of course).
At Yes Queen we are done wishing that it was always the weekend. Check out Daysha’s weekly letters of motivation that not only incorporate the 4 Queens Commandments, but that also aim to help you reimagine your Monday, and grow into the queen that you’ve always wanted to be.
Daysha is a huge advocate for the economic advancement of women, and has found that learning more about personal finance over the years has been a big self confidence booster.
