Testimonials
When Judge Clarease Yates spoke to the Dwight D. and Sheryl H. Howard Foundation "Girlz Rule" Basketball camp during Spring Break, all of the young ladies stopped, looked, and listened. Most if not all of these tweens and teens come from underserved communities, broken or single parent homes so Judge Yates personal "Testimony of Triumph" spoke to them. She gave the campers a sense of hope and determination from her personal story and accomplishments. Her motivational speech will provide limitless opportunities for the young ladies if they work hard and get a good education.

It was an honor and pleasure to have Mrs. Clarease Rankin Yates facilitate the first workshop of True Fellowship Baptist Church's inaugural scholarship program. The guidance from her book and encouragement she provided to our high school student participants regarding common courtesy and self-image were invaluable tools that the young men and ladies will be able to take with them through every stage of life. We look forward to inviting Mrs. Rankin Yates to participate in our scholarship program in the future. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Judge Clarease Rankin Yates was down to earth, approachable and unpretentious. She delivered sessions that were engaging, informative and incredibly relatable. The students enjoyed participating in the “Good Manners” role playing segment the most. She covered “Basic Table Manners,” “The Power of the Tongue – You Reap What You Speak,” and “How to Use a Vision Board.” Judge Clarease Rankin Yates provided sessions that inspired our students to strive to be the best they can be personally and professionally. She gave all of our students the tools they need to prepare themselves for “first impression” meetings and to feel confident at formal occasions."

“Indestructible Beginnings" is a resource that every parent and organization should employ. Judge Clarease Rankin Yates delivered powerful presentations that excited our students. The session that was particularly captivating was on "Self-Image" and "Self-Confidence." She clearly yet tactfully taught the students how to represent themselves in a positive manner and how self-representation translates into "belief" and ultimately personal success. Great job! Wonderful material!
