The BusinessZone with Crystal & Gilbert

Turning Your Wildest Dreams Into a Realty

Guest: Christelle Biiga, Inspirational Speaker-Radio & Podcast Host - Personal Empowerment Coach An immigrant from Cameroon in Africa who, against all odds, has made her American Dream a reality and I have made it my mission to inspire people to have the courage to show up for themselves and go after their dreams no matter what. I packed my bags and left my country to pursue the American Dream.

 

I barely spoke English and had no friends here but nothing was going to stop me. Not even the immigration officer tried to deport me because he said I was coming to work as a prostitute. Not even the fact that I had to spend nine months in a detention center in order to get a chance to stay, Not even having to stay in a shelter as my first home.

 

Today I’m happy to be a TV host, Inspirational Speaker, and the host of my own podcast Absolute Alignment with Christelle: When Success Feels Easy. I live in Southern California in a beautiful home a block from the beach and continue to live my dream.
