my passion

Early in my career, I faced significant personal and professional challenges that forced me to rethink everything I believed about leadership, resilience, and growth. Instead of allowing those obstacles to define me, I chose to see them as the turning point.


That decision not only transformed my perspective, it laid the foundation for building a six-figure business and a career dedicated to helping others unlock their potential and lead with impact.

This is my story...

a secret

I love being a 2x girl mom. In my early 20s, I struggled with deep depression and becoming a mom saved my life.

I feel like my life was just starting when TrinTrin came into this world and Bumpy was my unexpected surprise. We're deeply connected in so many ways and have the best relationships! I'm glad they chose me. 

I love my girls!

My sanctuary

Some may call me a literary and musical purist but I would say that I just love the energy that vinyls records and books create. It's a VIBE!

As a kid, we didn't have all the money in the world.
I embraced what was around me. My grandmama always had a record player and books were welcomed!

They are Books + Vinyls

I am in a relationship with my kitchen! As a kid, my Mama and Grandmama allowed me to learn from them. All the recipes, techniques and culinary love wrapped me in the biggest hug and has never let me go. Cooking brings me joy!
