About Terri Weems
My Story
Throughout my professional career, I had to match my skills to the job description for which I was hired. Each time I thought outside the box, I faced opposition from those in power. This is why I recently walked off my last JOB (just over broke). I had had enough.
After retiring for the third time, I prayed that if I were to go back to work, I’d be able to use my skills for things that bring me joy – helping whomever, whenever, and wherever I can. My dream is to find ways to empower women. Currently, I accomplish this through engaging my sister-friends circle, family experiences, and professionally.
I’m the sum of many experiences and I’m still “under construction”. My new journey begins with my being a published first-time writer, co-authoring the Dr. Tererai Trent Anthology, Sacred Promise. More information is available under the Book tab.
In the way you carry yourself, others often recognize your potential without a resume. I met Getrude Matshe because she is a co-author of Sacred Promise. As a speaker and panelist on her virtual HerStoryCircle and as a presenter at the Washington D.C. HerStory Tribe 2023 Summit, I realized the opportunity to use my creativity and potential in my own way.
Dreams do come true!
