A known lover of people, Calandra has a deep desire to reach people in multiple facets. Therefore, her mission began with babies and small children. In 2016, Calandra opened The Learning Tree Academy, a 24-hour daycare and preschool, with the ideal of transforming lives and building confidence in our younger generations. Also in 2016, Calandra founded an organization, “Ladies Walking in Purpose”, which mentors and empowers women by helping them to discover their true God-given purpose and thereby facilitating their walk in excellence. Since its inception, Ladies Walking in Purpose has mentored and nurtured over 100 women.

By speaking at events, Calandra’s stage presence, tenacity, perseverance, along with the implementation of her coaching tools continually leads her to open doors for and assists others with their goals, their purpose, and their paths to freedom.
