We hear the term “women’s empowerment,” but do we really stand on it? Backbiting, catfights, and jealousy seem to be the norm depicted on reality TV and in the media when it comes to women and their circles. But Charlene Taylor, the founder, owner, and CEO of Sexy Diva World, Inc.,successfully leads this global movement for women that is changing the negative narrative.
Charlene is a two-time NPC Bodybuilding champion and a top ten fitness competitor who has been featured on Channel 2 KPRC-TV. She is known as “The Liberian Lioness,” committed to spreading love, inspiring, and empowering women worldwide to discover their authentic selves. An entrepreneur for over 20 years, in addition to leading the Sexy Diva World brand, she is a success strategist and CEO of Ace Compliance Consulting and Social Gym Club, Inc.
Helping Women Release, Transform, Emerge & Transcend
Charlene, through Sexy Diva World, is helping women of all ages and single moms worldwide in a trusted space to unleash their feminine power with specifically designed programs for the needs of the whole woman. Her platform is strategic in helping women discover self-love and connecting them to a genuine circle of like-minded women for their health and well-being.
Under this effort, Charlene has not forgotten about the younger generation and has the Diva in Training Foundation to provide support, training, and a life-changing curriculum to inspire teenage girls to love and honor themselves, build self-confidence, develop high self-esteem, and embrace sisterhood. The girls are introduced to new concepts that spark mindset shifts and participate in events and activities that expose them to a world of endless possibilities that empowers each girl to live a purposeful life. Being a mom herself, it was important for her to create an extension of this foundation to uplift single moms with training and development, education assistance, and life-changing on-the-job opportunities that enable them to improve their professional skills, mindset, and lives so they have the tools and resources to support their children and families.
Some of the Sexy Diva World programs include:
- Annual Self-Love & Sisterhood Summit
- Quarterly Two-Day Retreat
- Sexy Diva Squad
- Metamorphosis Retreat
- Intimacy, Love & Sex Crew
- Diva in Training Foundation
Q&A With Charlene Taylor:
What was the event in your life that birthed Sexy Diva World, Inc.? Finding out I was pregnant and ending a toxic relationship, I felt angry and alone. Being in such a dark place, I saw a light when I cried out to God seeking His guidance on the purpose of my life. I heard Him speak to me about being a voice to empower and encourage other women who feel alone, isolated, and unloved. That experience birthed this movement and a 12-chapter book.
Your initiative is about self-love. Was there ever a time you had issues with your own self-esteem and self-worth? How did you overcome that? I knew I was smart because my mother expected good grades from me. I knew I was the best athlete in my school because I set records, earned trophies, and medals, was featured in the local news weekly, and was recruited by over 20 of the top colleges in the nation. Though I excelled at athletics and academics, I was never told I was beautiful (inside and out) growing up. That was something I was missing as a young girl. As I grew older, I learned to tell myself that I was beautiful. The more I spoke it, the more I believed it and lived it.
The term “sexy” can sometimes be used to put women in a place where they are looked at as objects. What is your definition of the term as you empower women and as it relates to this platform? The term “sexy” is a mindset and a way of being. Our feminine energy is the spark that radiates us and the essence of being sexy. Our Sexy Divas are powerful women who are courageous, confident, and unstoppable as they create a life they enjoy with extraordinary love, laughter, and heartfelt joy.
Can you provide us with a success story of a woman who has been empowered through participating in your program(s)? There was a woman I was connected to who was a victim of domestic violence. She was being beaten in the middle of the street by her boyfriend, and no one was helping her. I got out of my car and was able to get her away from him. I discovered we lived in the same community. Over a period of time, with tools, resources, and a safe plan of action, she was able to leave her abusive boyfriend. To see a woman’s transformation is powerful.
Through this program helping other women, how have you yourself evolved as a woman? I absolutely have evolved. I went from knowing myself as a powerful, confident, sexy, and fun woman to evolving more and more as an effective leader for women, now known as “The Liberian Lioness,” unstoppable in attracting all that I desire.
What are the short-term and long-term goals for Sexy Diva World, Inc.? Short-term, I want this organization to continue to empower women worldwide, helping them embrace self-love and sisterhood and live by our Sexy Diva Integrity Pledge. Long-term, I want us to fulfill our mission, vision, and foundation statement that results in every female loving herself, loving her life and living life to the fullest with extraordinary love, laughter, and heartfelt joy.
Sexy Diva World welcomes women from all walks of life and is creating a world where women respect and love themselves, which in turn helps them honor and respect each other. Charlene understands that some women are still carrying the pain of being betrayed by so-called friends or have not healed from generational curses. This acclaimed and widely-recognized platform is proven effective in bringing women together to connect and collaborate, helping them live life to the fullest.
