C. Rene Washington was a passionate reader and had always wanted to write a book. One day, she was in an optical shop, where she met an older Black woman trying on glasses. When the woman expressed doubt about wearing the bold red glasses, C. Rene Washington encouraged her to take risks and embrace her true self. This experience inspired C. Rene Washington to realize that she too needed to take risks and discover her true self, beyond her roles and titles. She eventually took a girlfriend trip to Greece and saw how taking up space and embracing her true self was beneficial to those around her. She learned that when we focus on our true desires, it is not a solo journey, but one that takes many people with us.
