Growing up in South Central Los Angeles was a real training ground for her life, where she learned the art of getting out of her comfort zone and pushing past her fears to fulfill her goals and dreams. Many people struggle with being their biggest roadblocks. As a speaker, Fergerson is passionate about helping people break through those barriers that are holding them back in order to elevate their lives to the next level. Her goal is to help those struggling to find their way. Restructure their life plan, and gain clarity on successfully pushing forward to go after their dreams, and achieving their goals, one step at a time. Which takes focus, discipline, and an inner drive that some people forget to recharge and ignite the desire to win.
