L.L. Anderson, Embrace Your Ugly!

Latisha Anderson has encouraged a lot of women in her life.

Having emerged from a difficult upbringing of abuse and self-doubt, the Florida native empowered others through her testimony and story. But looking at the mirror one day, she realized that she hadn't embraced that encouragement and empowerment in her own life. "Staring myself in the face, I truly saw myself for the first time. And the inspiration hit in a moment. I had to embrace my own UGLY if I wanted to train others to move on from traumatic experiences."

While many people teach you to move away from pain, Latisha teaches people to embrace it. "In order to embrace something, you have to bring it in close, really deal with it," she shares. "I help people to authentically feel pain so they can finally rise above it. "

Embracing Your UGLY simply means to be;     Unique. Genuine. Love. & simply You.

UGLY is an acronym, which stands for Unique, Genuine, Love, & (simply) You. Now a Certified Life Coach and motivational speaker, Anderson guides women in the process of dealing with and releasing the pain which is holding them back in life. But it doesn't end there - by the end of her sessions, she is challenging women to draw up a plan of action to bring their dreams into reality. In this way, she works towards empowering them, not just motivating them in the moment. And she cheers for them every step of the way. "If a person does not take back their authority, their right to envision and bring to fruition their own dreams - they have not been empowered. They were simply encouraged." she shares. "We empower people to act and succeed."
