140 Life Lessons I Wish I Knew at 20

Fatimah S. Baeshen is a mosaic who marches to her own drumbeat. She is a beautiful soul; albeit an imperfect 42-year-old human being. She is a newly pivoted creative…inspired therefore inspiring. She lives life. She learns lessons. She serves others. She speaks. She teaches. She writes. She is credentialed: University of Chicago & University of Massachusetts, two decades of professional experience in socioeconomic development, international affairs, diplomacy, consulting, and communications across the globe. She learned countless lessons along the way: professionally and personally. As such, she disseminates her version of life's Cliffs Notes to make the journey a little easier on everyone else. Her greatest success is launching AuthenticFi, a creative venture, to serve others in navigating life and inspiring them to thrive. In many ways, her career path and globe-trot led her back home. She was raised in Oxford, Mississippi.
