Hera McLeod lives in Seattle, but holds true to her Washington, D.C. roots by being unapologetically blunt. She is a woman of color who seeks to empower and educate women through personal narrative. She is the author of the blog Cappuccino Queen, a blog about moving on from an abusive relationship to live the best life and is working on a memoir about the cautionary tale of a woman’s journey from self-conscious to self-confident, from victim to advocate.
