Valentina was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti until the age of 10 living with her mother and two sisters experiencing extreme poverty first-hand. In 2000, she joined her father, his wife and her other siblings in the New York where she learned to speak English within a year, and subsequently earned high honors every year in school since. Although Valentina was a self-sufficient and independent child - working since the age of 14 and becoming a financial provider for her mother and 2 siblings - her motivation and drive for success was rooted only in survival of a traumatic childhood in America as well as being a financial provider. Though she earned degrees and became an educator - she was not living life through her passions & gifts, nor was she really tapping into her true potential. She was miserable and hated waking up each morning to go to her place of work, she was disconnected from her loved ones, traveled to escape every chance she got, and felt unmotivated about her dreams collecting dust on the shelf. In 2018, Valentina finally decided that there was more to life than what she had created and took personal development more seriously which completely shifted her perspective and overall quality of life. Here is a brief description of some of her accomplishments since that decision:
Valentina earned her Bachelor's Degree in English Literature from New York University (NYU) in May 2012. She obtained her Master's Degree from Fordham University in Education in May 2015. In October 2018, Valentina published her poetry book, Rebirth: Selected Poems available on Amazon selling over 100 copies. In January 2019, Valentina purchased her first investment property - a house in Elmont, Long Island which earned her enough residual income to cover her full monthly mortgage and build equity for future investments. In April 2020, she released a digital spoken word poem titled "Celebrate Yourself" available on Apple Music.
In September 2020, Valentina founded Diaspora Gone Global LLC a group travel company where she curates powerful travel experiences and personalized itineraries for individuals of the African Diaspora internationally. Through her work, DGG clients have gotten to explore Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Cuba, Bermuda, Nigeria, Turks & Caicos, other U.S. states/territories and more. Valentina herself has traveled to and explored 17 countries, lived in 6, and visited over 100 cities. She's been to Ghana, Benin, Togo, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Haiti, Cuba, Barbados, and Jamaica to name a few. In June 2021 DGG partnered with Amber Harrison's financial literacy and investment company Ratchet Assets LLC to organize and execute "JUMP Into Real Estate: Cleveland Edition" where a group of 12 individuals learned about the real estate investment process step by step, received guidance, resources and connections to contractors, realtors and more. They gained insight on the opportunities available in Cleveland, Ohio for generating passive income while getting to know the history and advantages of the city. Ratchet Assets & DGG continue to partner to offer tours in different cities across the U.S.
Valentina has been a speaker and facilitator for numerous empowerment events and workshops since her decision for self-mastery including "You Are Enough", "HER-Tober Fest", "The Emergence of You" and her signature self-love and empowerment workshop "LOVEL - Up" which has been hosted in middle schools and colleges such as York College in Queens, NY. In June 2021, Valentina spoke at The National Action Network about self-empowerment and her literacy journey in front of Al - Sharpton, his daughters Dominique and Ashley Sharpton, and the youth activist members of NAN Youth Huddle.
