Season 5 Episode 3

Audra is a TEDx speaker, empowerment coach, author, and multi-genre artist with a powerful mission: to help individuals acknowledge, embrace, and transform their physical and emotional scars into sources of strength and purpose. Born and raised in Detroit, Audra’s journey of resilience and self-empowerment began at just 18 months old when an accident left her with severe burns across her chest, neck, and shoulder.

For over two decades, Audra sought to erase her scars through surgeries, treatments, and other methods, but nothing succeeded in removing them. Struggling with self-acceptance, she spent years hiding her scars under layers of clothing and within the confines of unfulfilling relationships. At 25, Audra experienced a life-changing revelation: she realized that everyone bears scars, whether visible or hidden, and that these scars could be embraced as symbols of survival and strength.

Recognizing the need for a more personalized approach to empowerment, Audra founded Purpose Fulfilled Inc., a coaching and training company dedicated to helping individuals and organizations unlock their full potential. Through her company, Purpose Fulfilled, Inc., Audra provides one-on-one and group coaching sessions, custom workshops, keynote presentations, and produces a podcast designed to inspire, motivate, and transform lives.

Theresa Lowe is the Founder/Executive Director of the Lowe Family Foundation. Her dedication to this work connects her to a linage of community advocacy by way of her grandmother, who was an avid organizer and volunteer. Theresa’s core values focus on creating the highest level of academic excellence. Having a background in early childhood education, she uses her passion for encouraging young people to guide and uplift their respective communities. Visionary in her leadership, she often steps up to organize, plan and administer impactful community projects and activities; as demonstrated by her receipt of the Curren D. Price SHero award in 2015. Theresa has contributed to organizations that encourage high levels of student/parent participation. And has served as an advisor and led fundraising committees for numerous causes and educational institutions. The loss of access to learning and resources during the time of Covid has further amplified her drive to improving social and academic wellness.

Favorite Quote: "You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people if you don't serve the people." - Dr. Cornel West
