It's De! It's always weird to write about myself. But, this area specifically says "My Story", so I'll get to it.

​

I am a wife to the amazing Corrie Wiley. I am a mother to Jonathan and Peyton. I am a big sister to Nickie and a daughter to the one and only Queen Irene. I am a woman who loves God and who loves to talk. In my professional life, I am a product manager as well as a project manager. In my personal time, I like to journal and mentor young women in project management. Mentoring is my passion. It is a valued connection that is so rewarding.

​

I began mentoring in the area of project management years ago as one of the main challenges that I encountered as I began to make changes in my career was...I wished there was a me that looked liked me to give me guidance. As I began to dig further into conversations with the mentees, I became very interested in the way we addressed changed individually-some of us leading with our hearts and some of us leading with our heads. But, also..there was another lane here that interested me-the unseen value in my village. During my time home during the covid months, I got to see all of the talent, skills,  and personal/business endeavors the women on my timeline were blowing out of the water. How did I not know about all of this value in my village? I wanted to address this. I wanted to share the value in my village. The HeartHeaded Way podcast was birth to share this value. 

 

What if all of the #blackgirlmagic and  #browngirlmagic in our village created a community of mentorship and support? How amazing is it to get support and help from someone who looks like you. Regardless if you are a heart or a head-the village conversations are AH-MAZ-ING, and the support is mind blowing. Ladies, welcome to your village. Let's lock arms and be the change we want to see happen around us. I just have one question to ask before we get started...are you a heart or are you a head? Let's talk!
