“We have to let go of who we think we should be and embrace what is.” – Achea Redd
Achea Redd is the author of “Be Free. Be You,” and founder of the non-profit, Real Girls F.A.R.T. – a space designed to empower and equip women with the necessary tools to become their best, most authentic selves (goals central to her book as well).
