“Tena, How can I put into words how thankful I am for you? Thank you for the great times on the balcony…

I enjoyed watching you do your daily thang – truly inspirational.  The way you show your love to your girls and your grandson is simply beautiful. 

You know how to communicate on many levels. Sometimes with words, sometimes emotions, sometimes gifts, sometimes silence. You know what others need and you know how to give just that.  You are my purple person!”

READ Tena's STORY

From Tena: Why is your story important to share?

I think my story is important to share because of the commonalities in experiences we all share, particularly women of color; glimpses into the life of a black leader in the federal government that reveal the challenges minorities face even today; exposure to the very tough, unfriendly culture of NSA; talks about real diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and Belonging, which every employee wants and deserves. And I hope to encourage other woman to write their stories too.

    Part One: Selling My Condo, Embracing Change & Finding My Next Forever Home

    I’m a seasoned 60 + year old, and I’m selling my condo, packing up my life—and I don’t know exactly where I’m going next. And surprisingly, I’m okay with that. ❤️

    This season is teaching me that I don’t need to have everything figured out. I’m sorting, packing, purging and letting go—while trusting God and myself with whatever comes next.

    You don’t need the whole map. You just need the next move.

    And baby…the map is already changing. 😂 Stay tuned for Part Two 🙏🏽

    The First Emancipator

    History often celebrates the men who built great fortunes. I’m equally interested in the ones who risked those fortunes because their conscience demanded it.

    Robert Carter III wasn’t perfect. He benefited from slavery for decades. But when he finally concluded it was wrong, he didn’t just say so—he built a legal plan that outlived him and changed the lives of more than 500 people. To me, that’s a story worth telling… and remembering.
