Emily B has grown tremendously since we first saw her on season one of VH1’s Love & Hip-Hop. She has truly turned her moments of despair into moments of empowerment, and has the opportunity to share that with others.

In a video that surfaced on the web yesterday (May 31) from New York’s Youth at Risk’s “Woman to Woman” program, Em’ is seen giving a passionate speech about overcoming the obstacles throughout her life and growing into a single, successful woman.

Hosted by Sirius XM Hip-Hop Nation’s Simone “Boss Lady” Amelia, check out the video below of Emily B’s powerful speech at Youth at Risk’s 1st Annual Mother’s Bruncheon.
