Meet Rahkal

Rahkal Shelton Roberson is a multi-talented author, dynamic speaker, certified professional life coach, and CEO of Be The Inspired You, a personal and professional development brand.

Sometimes, numbers do lie! Statistics say children who are raised in domestically violent homes and/or homes filled with substance abuse and poverty are less likely to succeed and more likely to become products of their environment.These are Rahkal's statistics, but this isn't her story. Rahkal is a firm believer in dreaming bigger, living on purpose, owning your narrative, and that your past doesn't have to dictate your future.

Born to a 19-year-old heroin and cocaine addict on the rough South Side of Chicago, raised in poverty, drugs, domestic violence, and fatherless, Rahkal Shelton Roberson is the epitome of resilience, overcoming adversities, and a generational curse breaker.

She is a multi-talented author, dynamic speaker, certified professional life coach, creative consultant, and a self-proclaimed "Inspo Enthusiast" with a heart to empower and encourage millennials and zillennials.

Rahkal is the CEO of Be The Inspired You, a personal and professional development brand. She works with organizations and individuals to develop talent and break free of self-imposed restrictions while cultivating harmony and strategy to live more significantly. Her uncanny ability to connect and strengthen others is the foundation of her mission: serving, inspiring, and helping individuals confidently identify, own, and live out their God-given purpose.
