Professional Troublemaker

On this episode of Professional Troublemaker, Luvvie is talking to bestselling author and businesswoman Sarah Jakes Roberts. Sarah is the daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes and Mrs. Serita Jakes and pastors a dynamic community of artists and professionals in Hollywood alongside her husband, Touré Roberts and is the phenomenal mother of six kids.

In this episode, Sarah shares some of the adversities she’s had to overcome that eventually led her to who she is today. She’s an example of someone who is willing to show up with heart, and she’s a leader who demonstrates vulnerability, which is so important and valuable. What glitters is not always gold, and Sarah Jakes Roberts’ story is an example of all things coming together for good and the power of discovering your whole purpose through every experience in your life.
