About the author

In her work and by her presence, Gloria embodies the perennial wisdom that the world was not given to us by our parents, it was lent to us by our children. Gloria gives practical advice on how to transform your life so that you can enjoy strong, healthy relationships.

Gloria's passion is developing tomorrow's leaders today. Using vivid examples from her own life--overcoming extreme poverty, racism, and sexism--she shows us that your personal history is not a predictor of your destiny.
