The prestigious award provided by the University of Wisconsin to successful alumni has been given to many great American leaders.

Years later, after obtaining five post-secondary degrees, becoming an entrepreneur and striving to serve in Washington, DC’s legal market with excellence, she was struck with something that was completely out of her control – ovarian cancer. After 16 months of illness without diagnosis, this was truly the battle of her life. It required every ounce of strength within her to survive AND an unwavering faith in God. Through the strength of survival and a closer walk with God, she was able to completely recover. Shortly after, she was notified she would win the “Forward Under 40” Award. 

“This time in my life has shown me that faith in God’s healing power is the best medicine for those suffering with serious health issues,” Tonya shares. The principle of faith is one she embodied to help her survive cancer. For this reason, she is often asked to speak publicly about the power of faith and healing.

Her latest adventure includes taking her most prized achievement to help catapult her company to the next level. PowerWoman Enterprise, LLC helps women to maximize their career potential. From serving as a keynote speaker before crowds of women to conducting individualized coaching sessions, Tonya gracefully propels women to their next stop on their personal career ladder.

Tonya was awarded the “Forward Under 40” Award from the University of Wisconsin on March 9th and recently spoke at the Willis L. Jones Leadership Center as part of their Engage Leadership Series.
