Gardner is a conqueror. She faced many challenges in her early
life, including becoming a mother of two by the time she was 15.
Devoted mentors helped Gardner rise above her circumstances to
become a success. This experience drives her to give back
today.
“We’re put here to serve,” Gardner said. “Whatever hurt me can
help somebody else.”
Gardner has published two books on empowerment and founded the
group Something About Sistahs to provide one-on-one support and
opportunities for struggling women to improve their situations and
find happiness.
Gardner also serves as a keynote presenter for Woman University,
a 10-week enrichment program run several times a year by Marvelous
Light Empowerment Association, an Atlanta-area nonprofit
organization that provides women with tools to improve their
self-esteem, to maintain a stable family and to manage their
finances and career.
“We challenge them to identify the things that are hindering
them from their dreams,” Gardner said. “Then, they present their
ideas before a ‘Dream Tank’ of successful women who critique them
and help them map out a spiritual, educational and financial plan
to get there.”
Regions is donating $1,000 to Marvelous Light Empowerment
Association on behalf of Gardner as a result of her Better Life
Award honor. A video about Gardner and her work with Marvelous
Light Empowerment Association can be viewed on the Regions
Financial YouTube channel.
