I will ALWAYS be a HUGE advocate for Healthy Relationships. Period. Want to know “WHY”/want the “Deets”? Head over to Amazon and grab my book. Moreover…Relationship & Communication Tip. And if it’s not for you, well…I guess it just isn’t for you. And that’s perfectly ok. So I’m going to say what’s been on my heart—and this is particularly for the married folks. After being married for almost 20 years, I never assume that my husband is happy—and likewise, he never assumes that

I was nervous, I was scared, but I was determined to make a difference. In fact, I took an even “crazier” risk by hosting annual faith-based community women’s conferences; with no real idea of how they would turn out. My first two were a huge undertaking (the first

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡. Reflecting on that time when God showed me who I was (in Him).And I must say, I’m proud of her. Believe it or not. One of the hardest battles that I ever fought growing up was overcoming people’s opinions. I’ve always been strong-willed, feisty, and an independent thinker—but growing up, there was a part of me that just wanted to be accepted. As I grew and matured, I soon learned that people change/switched up—and if I lived my life accor

𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐘𝐘𝐘𝐘... Listen...I’ll be honest, I came to a place where I just did not like people anymore! There, I said it! Yep, I was tired of folks, their shenanigans, and all that came with dealing/working with people! But, before you “stone me,” let me give some history. For starters, my childhood was rough—like really rough! This is How it Started Raised by a Single Mother Grew up surrounded by drug and alcohol abuse ACE Score (Adverse Childhood Experiences) of 8+ Teen Mo

This morning, I woke up feeling so grateful and completely thankful. I was so appreciative of not just the “BIG” things, but also the small, simple things. A lot has happened in my life—at a very fast pace over the past several years—and I’m finally having the much-needed time to just take it all in. It’s been a GREAT, but sometimes hard road to travel. I was reflecting on how far I’ve come and completely overwhelmed by God’s favor and grace over my life. But, if I can be ho

So… I can remember during my accelerated/extremely intense Social Work undergraduate program, I knew without any doubt that I would pursue a Master’s in Social Work immediately after. After all, there was no way I was doing an ac

𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐖… I’ve learned to capture EVERY moment; be in the moment; experience the moment; live in the moment; work the moment; learn from the moment; grow from the moment; don’t allow anyone to steal the moment; then move on, yet continuously build from the moment. And remember, legacy isn’t later, legacy is NOW. Meaning what you do NOW determines what later will look like. 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘤𝘺: 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳
