“I learned from SHE IS HOPE LA that two of every five children in Los Angeles Unified School District are kids of families of single mothers,” O’Connor said. “As the mother of a daughter, and foster parent of another, I want to help mothers in need in our area to secure good jobs and advance in careers.”
The series of career-oriented trainings are aimed to “help inspire self-confidence through hope, opportunity, perseverance and education,” O’Connor said.

Her book, “Spelling it Out for Your Career,” has received accolades for its real-life, detailed look at landing jobs, building careers and getting ahead in life. According to Aria Cunningham, author of “The Princess of Sparta: Heroes of the Trojan War,” “the book is insightful and grounded in truth, revealing that success is no secret, when you tap into your true potential.”
The book was included in “The 32 Life Saving Self Help Books Women Need in 2019,” alongside respected books like “The Four Agreements,” “The Magic,” “The 4-Hour Work Week” and “The Big Leap,” by the popular women-focused PrettyProgressive.com.
