Entrepreneur, Author, Wife, Mom and Motivational speaker

Tuere Dunton-Forbes, a Georgia native, currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with her supportive husband Marcelles, and their spirited daughter, Amari. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from Alabama A&M University and a M.Ed. in School Counseling from Florida A&M University. Passionate about helping others, she has worked in one of the largest Southeastern school districts in the field of Professional School Counseling since 2005.

Her interest in making health and wellness a priority to her lifestyle was birthed out of the death of both of her parents (2013 & 2016) to preventable diseases; and an attack on her own health, for which was later diagnosed as Lyme disease. Enduring those losses while withstanding her own health challenges has given her the desire to be a better steward of her temple; so that she can be an example and educate others on how to do the same.

Though it’s unfortunate that many wait until they are
given a diagnosis of some sort before making the decision to make prevention a priority in life; Tuere believes that small steps can make a BIG difference, as she is living proof. As a result, she obtained her Health Coaching certification via the completion of the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute’s science-based program (2016), and founded her life and wellness coaching brand, Empowher-2-F.I.T., LLC (formerly N360). As an upcoming author, Tuere has authored I Dare You to Live: Reclaim Your Life from The Grips of Strongholds (2021), along with two companion products; I Dare You to Live: The Journey (a journal) and the I Dare You to Live- Affirmation Cards (2022). She uses her knowledge and personal experiences to empower others to use strategies that can help them live as the C.E.O. of their lives, while showing them how to connect life and wellness, one commitment at a time.
