MY STORY
ALWAYS LEARNING
An abundance of wisdom has captured my spirit to share. I am a life-long student of continuous learning. My goals have been reached by self-directing essential life skills and identifying my strengths. I believe in discovering new concepts with the transformation of knowledge and I take great pleasure in presenting these principles to others.
BUSINESS READINESS
Born into a family small business gave me a natural early attraction. The experience of helping in my father’s corner store had a lasting effect. After business college and etiquette studies, I took the risks to start the long venture on a business journey. Many years later with humble success, my entrepreneurial life carries on taking a center stage. I am a pioneer within my own self-discovery.
AUTHORSHIP
One day I realized that my writing was a form of expressive therapy. I started keeping a journal soon after an emotional and very personal family event. Those words were transformed into a heartfelt memoir that sparked my writing journey. Since the publication of my first book, Abundant Faith, I have found a special love for writing to share the inspiration and empowerment that enhanced my own personal growth. I look forward to my upcoming new book on living fully in, Life Skills for the Journey.
SPEAKING ON LIFE
My story has traveled through times of triumphant joy, some sorrow, much love, forgiveness, trusted friendships, amazing hospitality, and historical past. I grew up during the civil rights era and experienced integration as the only Black student in my high school class for two years. After graduating as the first Black student, my journey immediately set pace. It took years to overcome the realization that existed then but living has a way of teaching us much about the past.
Today, I speak about why life skills are important and how to use them to be more productive and fulfilling in life. By using self-knowledge skills, you can learn more about who you are and finding your purpose. I can speak from experience on self-directing skills to build a foundation for success.
LIFE COACHING
Becoming a certified life coach during my time of laboring on this journey is one of my best life proficiencies. It allows me to share professional gifts of wisdom, assessment, and collaboration to help enrich someone else’s journey. My coaching program involves partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process. The first step to success begins when they can identify a clear idea of what they want to accomplish and is open to new perspectives. I am servantly blessed for this opportunity of engagement and confidence to share in the life of another person.
