Author Rebecca Contreras Reveals How She Went From the Hood to the White House to Millionaire (With Only a GED) in Her First Memoir...
AUSTIN, Texas, April 11, 2023 (Newswire.com) - In the relaunch of her riveting first memoir Lost Girl: From the Hood to the White House to Millionaire Entrepreneur, Rebecca Contreras tells her inspiring story of transformation, perseverance, and how a lost girl was found. Born prematurely as a drug-addicted infant to a single mother in a Texas border town, Rebecca came to know abandonment all too well. Yet despite becoming a teenage, welfare-dependent mother herself, she earned her GED and managed to break the generational cycle, working her way up to become an advisor to the President of the United States before achieving the American dream by becoming an entrepreneurial success story.
After setting the stage by recounting a childhood filled with neglect and abuse, Rebecca shares how she overcame the obstacles of her past. In her words, "We can't focus on what we lack or the mistakes of our past, but we have to be deliberate about our future. With perseverance, faith, embracing the hard change of self, and engaging strong mentors, that GED took me from the hood to the Office of the Texas Governor, and eventually all the way to the White House."
Her desire to change her life's trajectory and her sheer will and resolve to succeed altered the course of her and her family's lives forever. But she doesn't stop there. Sharing what she learned along the way has become her passion as she reaches out to mentor others because, as she says, "No one—and I mean no one—makes it flying solo."
Rebecca Contreras has been the President and CEO of AvantGarde LLC, a 110+ employee human capital consulting firm, since founding it in 2011. Along with her husband, she is also the co-founder of the nonprofit organization LaunchPad, which serves disadvantaged inner-city youth through educational programs and mentoring.
Because Rebecca's book is a demonstration of hope and empowerment for young at-risk women, Lost Girl is being relaunched to coincide with the 2023 Girls of Legacy Kickoff Event on April 11. Rebecca was inspired by promising young women through her work in the inner city and started Girls of Legacy in 2022, her signature initiative. Through her own matched funding, the program has been able to support ten Class of 2022 Title 1 high school graduates through partial scholarships and mentoring in college and professional development/training programs.
The eBook for Lost Girl is being offered at a promotional price during the 2023 Kickoff Event, and 100% of any proceeds will go toward Girls of Legacy fundraising efforts.

Space Engine Systems' Propulsion Team members with the world's first multi-fuel Mobile Engine Test Cell
EDMONTON, Alberta, April 11, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Space Engine Systems is an aerospace and space engineering company working to become the lowest-cost trucking company to anywhere in space, including the Lunar Mission. This is achieved by developing three fully reusable horizontal take-off and landing Mach 5 spaceplanes named the Hello series. Additionally, Space Engine Systems is developing several spin-off technologies including multi-fuel turbojet/turbo-ram jet engines and a lightweight cryogenic hydrogen heat exchanger. The DASS GNX turbo-ram jet engine powers all spaceplanes in the Hello series using airbreathing propulsion systems and can run on jet fuel, methane, and blends of up to 100% hydrogen.

Space Engine Systems is attending both the 2023 Canadian Hydrogen Convention (https://www.hydrogenexpo.com/) and 2023 Paris International Airshow (https://www.siae.fr/en/). At the Canadian Hydrogen Convention in Edmonton, Canada, April 25-26, Space Engine Systems will display a full-scale multi-fuel turbojet. At the Paris International Airshow from June 19-25, a scale model of the Hello-1 spaceplane will be displayed in the Canadian Pavilion. Meet with Space Engine Systems personnel at both events to learn how the Hello series of spaceplanes will disrupt the space and aerospace industries.
Space Engine Systems is currently developing Hello-1X, a piloted technology demonstrator vehicle with unmanned option capable of Mach 5 flight up to an altitude of 32 kilometers. Hello-1 can deliver 550 kilograms to LEO while Hello-2 can deliver 5,500 kilograms to LEO, 1,650 kilograms to lunar orbit, and 760 kilograms to the lunar surface. Payloads can be delivered point-to-point across the earth by any of the Hello spaceplanes and can be delivered to various earth and lunar orbits, and the lunar surface via a transfer vehicle released from Hello-1 and Hello-2. All of Space Engine Systems' spaceplanes are piloted with an unmanned option.
Space Engine Systems has operations in Edmonton, Canada, and Cornwall, U.K., and is currently setting up operations in multiple locations in the U.S. To rapidly expand and continue its growth into these countries, Space Engine Systems is hiring highly dedicated business development personnel and aerospace, mechanical, and electrical engineers.
