In this empowering episode, we sit down with Maddi, an extraordinary individual whose journey has been defined by resilience and determination.

Graduating from Georgetown University with a passion for Spanish and Justice and Peace Studies, Maddi's life took an unexpected turn when a hemorrhagic stroke left her paralyzed on her left side. Amidst her recovery, she discovered a new passion for fashion, channeling her love for the arts into writing her first book, "Fashion Fwd: How Today's Culture Shapes Tomorrow's Fashion," published in September 2018.

But Maddi's story doesn't end there. Driven by her own experience with stroke recovery, she embarked on a new book project aimed at inspiring survivors of trauma. Through her words and experiences, she aims to empower others to seize control of their lives and transform obstacles into incredible opportunities.

Join us as Maddi shares her journey of resilience, creativity, and empowerment, proving that challenges can be the catalyst for remarkable transformation and personal growth.
