I had goals of becoming an entrepreneur before 2018 was over. I didn't sell one thing that year. When I wrote those goals, I had the idea that I would work super hard and have a successful small business in a matter of months. No problem, right? I was eager to have the title as [...]
#BlackLivesMatter: Grieving Together
For those who are grieving, It is impossible to prepare for some of life’s painful moments. The unjust murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd is overwhelming news that we have received in such a short amount of time. Personally, I am traumatized by the videos and photos circulating the media. My feelings [...]

From One Queen to Another
Everything you experience in life as a woman is worth it. Even the moments when you ask yourself "why is this happening to me". The strength and wisdom of a woman is definitely obvious and valued. So, what if another woman hasn't quite found her inner strength or wisdom yet? Should all women be obligated [...]

How I Learned the True Meaning of Erykah Badu’s “Bag Lady”
Music is one of life's greatest teachers. So how could a song teach me that I was unhappy, holding a grudge, and didn't know how to move forward? I've always been a fan of Erykah Badu, and I knew "Bag Lady" was a nice neo-soul tune, but I had no idea what the message actually [...]
She Works for the Kingdom
She is always employed. Her job requires her to live a purpose filled life while allowing God’s light to shine through her and positively impact others.

Now, It’s Your Turn.
Now, It’s Your Turn. Comparison is the thief of joy. If I had to make a list of things I’ve learned this year, this is written as number one, in all caps, bold letters, and underlined repeatedly. God gave you your vision, your testimony, and your dreams for a reason. However, after a few detours [...]
Heart Check
By this time in my life, I should have been close to making six figures, riding in my black 911 (only on special occasions), and going on dinner dates with my boyfriend. In reality, I'm counting the days until I get my college refund check, driving a reliable Chevrolet, and regrettably, the boyfriend part is [...]
