In this powerful episode of She Shines with Coach KG, host Karen “Coach KG” Gilliam sits down with Celeste Warren for an honest, inspiring conversation about identity, purpose, leadership, and impact. Celeste opens up about the moments in her career when she was made to feel like she didn’t belong, and how she learned to protect her peace, trust her voice, and fully own her brilliance.

She shares the story behind her “next chapter” after 28 years in corporate leadership, including her transition into entrepreneurship and the heart behind her nonprofit, Destination STEM, which helps create opportunities for students of color and those in need to thrive in STEM fields. Celeste also reflects on the influence of her parents, the lessons she’s learned about equity, and why elevating others is central to her purpose.

From navigating unfair feedback to redefining what it means to lead with authenticity, Celeste’s story is a reminder that belonging is something we claim, leadership is something we live, and purpose is something we choose every day. If you need encouragement to stand in your worth and keep shining, this conversation is for you.
