It's Marie Forleo, and you are watching MarieTV,
the place to be to create a business and life

Now, if you ever feel that your dreams are
out of reach or maybe even impossible, my

you put your heart and your mind to.

Dr. Tererai Trent is one of the world's most
acclaimed voices for women's empowerment,

Michigan University and teaches courses in

Our Sacred Dreams.

Tererai serves as a president of the The Awakened
Woman LLC, a company dedicated to empowering

women with tools to thrive as they achieve
their dreams.

When we met a few months ago, I felt like
it was soul sisters from a whole other world

and we're like jumping up and down and hugging
each other.

and I was like, "Oh my goodness, can I possible
talk with Tererai?"

And I know I shared this with you, but I feel
like the universe bring us together.

You didn't know, but I had been working on
writing my book, and so I had been researching

your story and looking at it from every angle
because there's one particular chapter that

I wanted to write about you, and then all
of a sudden you showed up in my Twitter feed

and I'm like, "Wait a minute, she even knows
who I am."

So I want to start off with something that
you shared in the introduction to your book,

You shared, "I come from a long line of women
who are forced into a life they never defined

Take us back to those early days in your village
in Zimbabwe.

I want folks to understand the picture of
what life was like for you as a 14-year-old.

You know I always talk about coming from this
long line of generations of women, women who

had been denied the right to their dreams,
the right to their education.

I always visualized my great-grandmother when
she was born, she was born into this race

that she never defined and she was born holding
the baton of poverty, early marriage, illiteracy,

a colonial system that never respected her,
and she's running into this race with this

She ran so fast, she hands over this baton
to my grandmother.

My grandmother grabs that baton of poverty,
illiteracy, she runs, she hands over that

My mother grabs that baton in a race that
she never defined because of the circumstances

and she runs, runs, and she hands over that
baton to me.

I found myself getting married at a very early
age and having babies.

Before I was even 18, I was a mother of four
children.

Without a high school education, with nothing.

And when I talk about this baton of poverty
that's being passed on, I also talk about

the wisdom that is also passed on from generations
before me.

So in our lives, my grandmother used to say
that you have the power to decide whether

you keep on running with that baton of poverty,
the baton of illiteracy, or you run with a

baton of wisdom to re-change and re-shift
this baton, so that you become the one who

breaks the cycle of poverty, early marriage,
lack of education, abuse, and all the ugly

So when I was hardly 22 years of age, my country,
we had just gained our independence.

Because all along we had been colonized by
the British, and here I was, a mother of four

and my country had gained that independence
and strangers started coming in, Americans,

And these were women who would come to the
community.

And there was this particular woman, she sit
with me and with other women and she asked

me one question that I'll never forget in
my life, "What are your dreams?"

I never knew I'm supposed to have dreams because
I was an abused woman, a silenced woman.

And actually one of the babies died as an
infant because I failed to produce enough

And I'm sitting there, I'm thinking, "Am I
supposed to have dreams in my life?"

And other women started sharing their own
dreams and I was quiet.

She looked at me and she said, "Young woman,
you didn't said anything.

I knew I had these dreams in me, but for some
reason I couldn't because there was so much

I had been shaped to believe that I was nothing.

And maybe it was the way she kept on looking
at me, the way she nudged me to say something

and when I opened my mouth, I became a chatterbox,
and I said, "I want to go to America.

I want to have a master's and I want to have
a PhD."

The other women looked at me and I could feel
they were saying, "Are you crazy?

You don't even have a high school education."

And I guess there was something about these
American women, when they were coming to my

village, there was this sense of empowerment,
sense of loving thyself, and I wanted that.

I would see them getting into their backpacks
and removing books or papers and they would

look at those books and open and they would
put on their glasses, spectacles, and they

would talk to each other and put back those
spectacles back into their bags.

And thought, wearing glasses was a sign of
education, and I wanted that.

So when I talked about these degrees, I had
these women talking about these degrees, and

I wanted to have an education to change my
life.

And she looked at me and she said, "Yes, it
is achievable.

If you desire those dreams, if you desire
to change your life, yes Tinogona."

Tinogona in my culture, in my language, it
means, "It is achievable."
