“With her boys now grown into successful men, and after a more than two-decade career with the federal government; Wanda became overwhelmed with a long-ignored desire to find her purpose beyond being a mother. As a woman of faith and a belief in herself and life’s achievements, Wanda has chosen to share her life story.”
