Working with Professor Bayyinah Bello helped me overcome my lack of confidence by entrusting me with responsibility and supporting me along the way. She empowered me to believe in my abilities, express myself authentically, and honor my roots with love and pride.I learned the importance of questioning as a gateway to self-awareness, and how our five senses constantly inform us. Tools like the decision quadrant and the ancestral tree helped me understand my priorities and recognize myself through the legacy of my ancestors.
