With the goal to inspire anyone facing homelessness, Rishera’s second book, I Beat The Odds: From Homelessness to Dominating Life, was written to share a journey of a homeless teen, who one day decided that this will not be the outcome of her life. Although the book shared only one part of her story, Rishera wanted readers to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams, and dominate life. Motivation and leaving an impact isn’t the only take away for readers, as Rishera’s wants readers to know that no matter what they go through, they can still overcome it – as she living proof.
“Being homeless, trying to stay motivated, and motivating my family inspired me to write my book. I wanted people to know that being homeless does not define who a person is, as it is a temporary situation that makes you stronger. I wanted my book to be a reminder that your current situation isn’t your final destination.”
Although Rishera experienced fear with sharing her story, it did not stop her from telling it! Once she overcame her fear and identified her target audience, the sky was the limit.
“When I first saw my work in print, I cried. I was so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and sharing my story. Once I had copies of my book in my hand, everything became so real!”
Being an Author isn’t the only hat that Rishera wears, as she is also a Life Coach. Youth and young women are her ideal clients, with goal setting being her specialty. Rishera offers group coaching, as well as one-on-one coaching – to assist with various learning styles her clients may have.

“When one of my client published her first book. I was so happy for her that I cried. For me, seeing my client’s happiness truly brings joy to her heart.”
