The Story Behind the Message

She Went Back to School at 60

Since childhood, Dr. Darlene Hunter believed her purpose was to help people. At 60, she returned to school, and she earned her Doctor of Business Administration with a specialization in Organizational Leadership and Development.

Purpose Didn’t Expire grew out of that journey. Her mission is to help, support, and coach 10,000 women to walk in their purpose.
