About Me

CoWano Stanley is from El Dorado, AR but grew up in Minneapolis, MN. She now resides in Las Vegas, NV. At the age of 20, one of the most significant events in her life was the birth of her son DJ. 

As a single parent, she completed two Master’s degrees. One is a Master's in Business Administration and one in Accounting and Financial Management. She is a self-published author of 5 books.

She is a co-author in 9  collaboration books, 3 of those is with the #1 motivational speaker Les Brown, and International and Empowerment Speaker Dr. Cheryl Wood.  She is a 2x #1 Amazon Best Seller, and International Best Selling Author. 

At age 5, she always stated that she would be her boss. So at the age of 26, she started working on getting her own cleaning business. CoWano left the corporate world in accounting in 2018. She became a full-time entrepreneur at 39 years of age. 

While raising her son she went through some tough times. She began to experience a lack of confidence within herself due to several abusive relationships and challenges as a single parent.  

CoWano’s confidence was diminished over the years.  She had to learn how to reclaim her confidence back, so she could be a better individual to accomplish her goals & be a great mother.   

She is passionate about helping women reclaim the confidence lost or snatched away through trauma, self-mistakes, and other life situations.
