Battling cancer thrice, surviving near-fatal car accidents, and enduring homelessness, Margaret's resilience shines through every page, making it a must-read for every woman in search of motivation and guidance. Throughout her professional career, Margaret served as an attorney, advocating for civil rights, housing development, and economic development. A champion for the less privileged, she successfully ran three non-profit organizations, catering to diverse populations from women transitioning back into society from prison to cases involving housing discrimination and affordable housing development.

Margaret believes that the key to success lies in learning from others who have already walked the path you intend to tread. Her advice to those desiring success resonates with the essence of her journey, "Find others (through books, interviews, and observation) who have done what you want to do and emulate what they have done. Never give up. Continue to learn throughout your life and seek knowledge from conventional and nonconventional ways." For Margaret, success is not an attainment of wealth or power, but the ability to impact lives positively. She defines her success through the lives she has touched, inspiring others through her work. Samantha Cornwell, New York Weekly 2023
