I’m Cleo, and my journey has been a testament to faith, resilience,
and the power of human connection. I believe in living with
transparency, compassion, and love for others, and I do my best to
help everyone I meet see themselves in a deeper, more meaningful
light. After even a simple interaction, my hope is that people walk
away feeling empowered, with a greater sense of self-worth and
divine potential.
I feel called to connect with all kinds of people, across different
backgrounds and cultures. Whether I'm speaking to an audience of
thousands, leading a small seminar, hosting a virtual event, sharing
creative online content, or even creating custom training media, I
seek to inspire and uplift. This calling is rooted in my experiences
growing up in the Dominican Republic, where I discovered my
self-worth in a world that, on the surface, seemed to offer very
little.
As a child, I grew up without toys, new clothes, or even breakfast
most days. Yet, despite this poverty, I learned that my
circumstances did not define me. I found that I could rise above
these challenges by choosing my reaction to them, realizing that
true happiness comes from within and from using my gifts to uplift
others. This understanding is imprinted on my soul: people are the
most valuable resource, and my purpose is to help others see their
endless potential.
For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated myself to empowering others,
lifting them to higher levels of self-belief and transformation.
Whether in the neighborhoods of my homeland or among diverse
communities around the world, I have witnessed the powerful impact
of faith and positivity. People quickly gravitated toward me not
because of what I had, but because they sensed an uncommon hope.
Through empathy and empowerment, I gained their trust and respect.
When I moved to the United States as an adult, I arrived with only a
suitcase, $20, a handful of English words, and a heart full of
belief. Today, as a wife, mother, and international speaker, I am
grateful to pass on my Dominican roots to my children and inspire
others with the lessons my journey has taught me. I want to share
that blueprint of transformation with anyone who needs it, showing
them how to build a life centered on faith, self-worth, and a
calling to lift those around them to new heights.
