I met Erica about five or six years ago while I was working as a part-time sales associate at ALDO Shoes. I was a junior in high school at the time, and I can honestly say that I am truly blessed to have met her during some of the most important and life-shaping years of my life. Erica took me under her wing as a mentee and was extremely committed to her role as a mentor. From taking me on college tours and hosting women’s empowerment gatherings to sharing her experiences and creating opportunities for me to enter rooms I may not have otherwise had access to, Erica played a major role in shaping the young woman I have become. I always knew that Erica truly believed in me, and I appreciated the way she pushed me to grow, dream bigger, and become more ambitious. Her kindness, words of wisdom, and willingness to share her own life experiences with me are things that will always stay with me. Even years later, Erica continues to check on me and support me, and I am incredibly grateful that we have remained in touch. She has made a lasting impact on my life and is truly the definition of women’s empowerment!

She has guided me through difficult times while also being there to celebrate some of my greatest moments. As I began my journey into adulthood, Erica made it a priority to help me navigate life, make better decisions, and stay focused on my goals. Ms. Erica has consistently pushed me to become the best version of myself. Her guidance, wisdom, and genuine support have made a lasting impact on my life.
