Meet Lakesha Nelson
Educator, Mother, Author and Self-Love Speaker
I'm a wife, mother, teacher, author, and aspiring coach with a passion for empowering others. My life’s work revolves around education, encouragement, and providing practical tools for self-growth. I love inspiring change and promoting self-love and confidence in every space I step into.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Harris-Stowe State University and continue to expand my knowledge through professional development in education, project management, and personal growth. As a teacher, I’ve had the privilege of speaking in classrooms, connecting with students, parents, and colleagues.
During my tenure as a teacher, I was able to see firsthand the type of literature available to children which led me to create a story that was fun, educational, and also empowering. I wrote my book as a lasting resource for those seeking encouragement and practical steps toward self-love and empowerment. Writing allows me to reach a wider audience, ensuring my message resonates even when I’m not there to speak directly.
Beyond that, I’ve led workshops and presented at events, sharing personal stories, actionable advice, and lessons from my journey to motivate and uplift others. My passion for public speaking comes from a deep desire to help people recognize their worth. After overcoming my own struggles and embracing self-love, I felt called to share my story—especially with women and children who may feel unseen or undervalued.

What is self-love coaching?
Self-love coaching is a transformational journey that helps individuals cultivate confidence, set healthy boundaries, and create a deep, lasting connection with themselves. At Nelson Empowers, self-love coaching is more than just affirmations and self-care routines—it’s about equipping you with the tools and mindset shifts necessary to build unshakable self-worth.
My self-love coaching helps women:
-
Uncover and challenge limiting beliefs
-
Develop healthy habits that reinforce self-worth
-
Build confidence and set boundaries without guilt
-
Prioritize self-care and emotional well-being
-
Create a mindset rooted in self-acceptance and empowerment
Why coach about self-love?
I chose to coach about self-love because I believe it is the foundation for confidence, happiness, and personal success. Too many women struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, and putting themselves last. I have personally experienced the transformation that comes from prioritizing self-love, and I want to guide others through their own journey of healing, growth, and empowerment.
Self-love isn’t just about self-care; it’s about shifting your mindset, setting boundaries, and fully embracing who you are. My mission is to help women rediscover their worth, heal from within, and walk boldly in their truth without guilt or fear. When you love yourself, every other area of your life begins to align.
SELF LOVE IS NOT SELFISH-IT'S NECESSARY!

SET THEIR GOALS,
BUILD CONFIDENCE!
Goal setting and discipline start early, shaping the foundation for a child’s future success. 'Zack’s Race' is more than just a story about running—it’s a journey of perseverance, confidence, and determination. As Zack learns to rise after a fall, young readers are inspired to push past challenges, stay focused, and develop a strong work ethic.
As an educator, I believe that building up children starts with strengthening families because empowered parents raise resilient, high-achieving kids. Join Zack on his race—not just to the finish line, but toward a future of limitless potential!
