"Strong Women Raising Strong Women: A Legacy of Love, Lessons, and Leadership"

Part One: "The Foundation: A Mother's Strength, A Daughter's Future"

In this first episode of our two-part series, we meet Gwen Roney Goode, a woman whose strength, sacrifice, and unwavering belief in education laid the foundation for a generational legacy. A proud graduate of Virginia State University and a retired master educator with over 36 years of service, G and G Consulting, Catering, Tailoring, and event planning and decorating, Gwen Roney Goode is the epitome of perseverance and purpose.

She became a mother young — but never let that circumstance define her. Instead, she modeled grace under pressure, faith in hard times, and a steadfast belief that education and integrity could change the course of her family's story. Through her love, discipline, and dedication, she raised a daughter who would grow to lead, teach, and heal others.

This episode honors the unsung matriarchs who build strong women — not just through words, but through example.

"Some stories remind us that healing isn't about erasing the past—it's about reclaiming it.
In this episode, we sit down with Tawanna-Marie Woolfolk, a licensed clinical social worker, EMDR therapist, and CEO of Doula for the Soul Enterprises.

After surviving the foster care system and the trauma of neglect and abuse, Tawanna-Marie's journey is one of rediscovery—finding herself, her roots, and her mother, all while helping others heal from their own stories of pain and resilience.
Through EMDR and a neuroaffirming lens, she's redefining what it means to come home to yourself. This is more than therapy—it's transformation through truth."
