With this in mind, she has made it her life’s purpose to empower others in recognising their own strength and abilities. Duyile has since validated her status as a speaker, gaining numerous certifications with The John Maxwell Group, Jim Rohn, and under the mentorship of renowned motivational influencer Les Brown.
As a certified speaker, trainer, and entrepreneur, Duyile has made others the focus of her life and business. In the years since leaving corporate America, she has established various foundations and in support of this vision including: her own mortgage company ( Premier Mortgage Solutions), an International consulting firm (Image Consulting Group), as well as a non-profit providing mentorship and financial literacy for women and girls (Legacy Premier Foundation). Under the umbrella of her companies she has become an empowerment mentor, community mobilizer, certified trainer, as well as an international keynote speaker.
