Today we’d like to introduce you to Syretta Scott.
Hi Syretta, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have a love for both writing and learning; also a Lover of God and people. I discovered the love for writing in the 5th grade, through an amazing teacher, Nancy Popielarczyk. I have had the privilege of being in the tutelage of great educators and leaders and am grateful for it. Raised by amazing parents, Laura and Walter with beautiful siblings, reared in the church. Writing books and music are a passion. These passions were discovered at an early age. The realization to share them came later. It began through journaling and short stories. Opportunities, promptings and prophetic encouragement to share writings, became successive. My first published book, Body and Blood Confessions with Jesus Christ is a 40 day devotional inspiring engagement in intimacy with The Savior. More books to come.
Additionally, I’m immensely grateful to complete a terminal degree-doctorate, with research steeped in Entrepreneurial Ecosystems as it relates to female entrepreneurs. The findings were insightful as women are phenomenal.
They are additionally incredible in business and certainly are deserving of great opportunities.
Research revealed that female entrepreneurs are experiencing a disparity throughout the nation and this research helps to quantify such findings, in hopes to support women in gaining greater access to those resources.
The global economy is missing out on trillions of revenue, by not investing in female entrepreneurs, it’s time to change this.
My passion for music can best be described currently as, a comfort beyond measure, and writing and singing is both personal and corporate for me. It is both intimate and to be shared. Therefore, I exercise this for The Glory of God.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has been a good road even with challenges. The challenges create a muscle of endurance as well as resilience. Sometimes a little affliction is necessary, in there is so much learned.
Early challenges, as a child I began, loosing my hearing and had surgery twice before the age of 6, to maintain it.
There have been some occasional challenges to hear along the way, however, I am blessed to hear very well.
Learning has been on average pretty easy however, a negative thought impeded me initially. I did not feel that I was college smart or college material. Taking a college entrance exam and getting accepted to a college was my first step in shattering a glass ceiling of unaccounted for doubt. Some of these challenges, were a set up to defeat even greater. I learned through challenges that I have a certain GRIT. Quitting is not an option. Although occasional rest points are necessary.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Proud Educator around 20 years. Love pouring into the lives of young people, they are the now and the future. My passion is that when learners are given the right opportunities, believed in by being supported, and positioned for greatness, there is no limit to them.
Music lane: Writer of music and lover of song and worship for over 30 years.
Opportunities to record, lead and collaborate with others had been afforded me.
Keeping a pure heart and and spirit postured with the Father’s heart are key to music.
Working with others to create, is a personal favorite, super amazed at the talent that is all around.
People are incredible and inspiring.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Grew up surrounded by lots of family.
Maternal grandparents had 10 children, therefore lots of cousins to run around with in our grandparents backyard.
Play time was very fun and adventurous as we created our own games.
Grew up in the era of watching Saturday morning cartoons and reading newspaper comics ‘the funnies’.
Does anybody remember DOL and Current Events, in grade school?
Grew up knowing many people but always had a small tight knit of friends.
My mother, sister and niece are my top girls.
Met most of my best friends in college, we are definitely besties for life.
A few mentors along the way have helped to shape my life.
Very focused mostly however, leisure time is my favorite!
Love to laugh, making others smile and make certain others know how valuable they are is big to me.
Mexican, Italian, Seafood and my mother’s cooking are my favorites.
