Inspiring Resilience

Cierra speaks on her journey of overcoming adversity to reach national success. She shares her 6-year story of overcoming obstacles to reach what she calls her "God Year", a period in her life where she worked in Congress & the Obama White House, won Miss District of Columbia, competed for Miss America, trended online for being the first woman to compete at Miss America with an Afro & her story as a military Child was featured in Michelle Obama & Dr. Jill Biden's "Joining Forces" Campaign, all in one year. 

Encouraging Women in Politics & Leadership

Cierra wants to see even more women run for political office and win. Women are courageous, strong, intelligent and powerful beyond belief and she wants to empower every woman to see that within themselves. As a Spelman College & Women’s Campaign School at Yale University graduate (which are both women's colleges), Cierra recognizes the value of women leading in our world. Having worked on the statewide campaigns of Stacey Abrams & Michelle Nunn, she is invested in building  the path and supporting even more women in their path to run for office. As a former Ambassador for She Should Run & Running Start, she is galvanized to offer her skills and talents to non-profits who are ambitious in their efforts to create female politicians. Now, as the founder of It's Her Power, Cierra continues to educate and empower the next generation of female leaders through meaningful conversations, empowering content creation and relationships with community organizations to make a lasting impact. Not only does Cierra empower women, but she empowers men as well, to take on their roles as allies and build a world where everyone is treated equally and fairly.

I had the most amazing time meeting some of the most incredible, politically driven, courageous, ambitious, young women I have ever met at @RunningStart 's Young Women's Political Leadership Program! And it is even crazier to realize they are only in HIGH school! • Spending the day at Capitol Hill introducing them to their Congressmembers and their political icons, facilitating heavy conversations about the state of our politics, and engaging and seeing their passions to one day run for political office may have been more of an inspiration to me than them. These young women are breathtaking□ • Encouraging them to be even greater and to persevere to reach new heights, as their graduation speaker, was truly the icing on such an incredible experience. Despite our current political climate, I know our future is truly protected with these young women leading! & Oh what an amazing future it will be ❤✨ #TheFutureIsFemale • #ILookLikeAPolitician #Ambassador #RunningStart #Latergram
