Untold Story #29: Meet Yalonda Haywood

Today’s woman grew up in a small town in Alabama.  Her life was simple and family roles were traditional. And she was smart and easily intrigued by things and places that were different. She learned to dance and lose herself in movement.  She became curious about delivering babies and thought nursing was for her. But business was where she was destined to be. The road wasn’t easy.  The color of her skin blocked entry into many areas and she always felt she had to be silent.  Then one day she realized she didn’t have to play by everyone else’s rules.  She could make her own.  And when she made this change in perspective, the world opened up to her. Her vision became clear and her journey to greatness began unfolding in ways she never thought possible.  It is my pleasure to introduce Yalonda Haywood.
