 If the federal government were to eliminate DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, the impact on DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) programs could vary depending on how these initiatives are structured and implemented. DBE programs are designed to promote equal opportunities for businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.

They often focus on minority, women, and veteran-owned businesses. These programs are vital for contracting opportunities, such as those with federal, state, and local agencies. #governmentcontracts #dbe, #smallbusinessrevolution #socioeconomicimpact #project2025 #trump

Healing From Within: The Journey of Self-Empowerment

Audra Bryant is a TEDx speaker, empowerment coach, author, and multi-genre artist with a powerful mission: to help individuals acknowledge, embrace, and transform their physical and emotional scars into sources of strength and purpose.

Born and raised in Detroit, Audra's journey of resilience and self-empowerment began at just 18 months old when an accident left her with severe burns across her chest, neck, and shoulder.

For over two decades, Audra sought to erase her scars through surgeries, treatments, and other methods, but nothing succeeded in removing them. Struggling with self-acceptance, she spent years hiding her scars under layers of clothing and within the confines of unfulfilling relationships.

At 25, Audra experienced a life-changing revelation: she realized that everyone bears visible or hidden scars and that these scars could be embraced as symbols of survival and strength. Audra's background as a singer and lyricist became a vehicle for her healing. She penned the empowering anthem "Scars," a song that declared her commitment to loving herself wholly and served as a beacon of hope for others facing similar battles.

This creative expression led her to write her transformative book, I've Got Scars, Baby! How to Embrace Your Scars and Power Your Purpose delves deep into her journey and offers readers practical guidance on turning their scars into their superpowers.
