If you have happened upon the Cocoa Express Radio Show you have been immediately captivated by a warm spirit and kind voice coming through your speaker. That would be none other than Aurelia Lyles. The connection that she establishes with her guests has always made for informative, and very interesting interviews. Aurelia believes that every guest has a gift to share. Having interviewed hundreds of today’s artists, entertainers, and forward thinkers over the last 15 years, it is no wonder that she asks the perfect questions and shares the perfect passion every single time.

Her quest for knowledge and good in all of us has led her to explore another passion of hers, the Village Mirror Etiquette Program. Based in Wilmington, Delaware, the VMEP focuses on mentoring youth and young adults. As a Certified Etiquette Consultant, she shares her expertise in the areas of dining, public speaking, business etiquette, and appropriate dress.

Aurelia is a keeper of her culture and is walking the walk. As a mother pouring into our youth is nothing new to her. In addition to the usual etiquette program, she also shares her vast experience in corporate, expands their knowledge of world views, and helps them to confidently carve out their own nook in society.

Believing in a strong foundation is key to building strong structures. These young ladies are groomed and mentored to be solid, and productive members of society. They have a fearless leader that would not have it any other way.
