Redefine.Rebuild.Restore w/Mesha Mebane, CEO of Infrared Vision, LLC
Mesha says, "INFRARED VISION was born out of my personal pain, confusion, and passion to achieve the best version of myself. After the loss of my one and only child, inability to conceive again, several layoffs resulting in a career re-invention, divorce, financial, and personal challenges, I spent years aimlessly going through the motions with no optimism, goals, or direction for the future. I realized that my full potential was more than I was physically doing. I was no longer living - I was just existing."
Infrared Vision (IV) will help you move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset with a Visionprint to guide you to truly LIVING and not just EXISTING.

More about Laura and LLD Condulting in her own words below:
Website: https://lauradorsey.net/
Hello, I am Professor Laura Lenear Dorsey. I have been a Professor for almost 20 years. While working in the finance industry of corporate America, I returned to college to complete a Bachelors in Business Management (BSBM) and a Masters in Organizational Management (MAOM). That was a life changing experience for me and I changed careers from corporate to education. I found my passion in education. I educate, inspire and empower my students with strategies that will make them successful in their chosen careers. Most of the strategies have to do with writing. With that, I have taken my love for writing and for sharing writing strategies with others and created LLD Consulting. Now, I have expanded my passion out of the classroom into small businesses and working with entrepreneurs. I specialize in taking your voice and the message that you want to convey and creating that written component. My clients range from an Olympic athlete, attorneys, authors, entrepreneurs both for profit and non-profit. In addition, I am a contributing writer and editor for several magazines.

Sarcoidosis occurs more often in African-Americans than in Caucasians, and African-Americans may experience more severe symptoms
