Behind the Scenes

This January, I started my second semester in the Doctor of Social Work (DSW) program at the University of Buffalo. Now, I'm excited to be entering my senior year and continuing my educational journey as I deepen my knowledge and skills in social work and empowerment. I'm looking forward to the year ahead and the opportunities to grow, learn, and apply what I've gained to further support my life coaching clients and their personal growth!

As part of the children's fashion show event, I also had the opportunity to promote my book, Can You Keep A Secret? The event provided a wonderful setting to introduce the book to children and families while sharing its message of safety. I enjoyed connecting with the other vendors and the attendees, talking about the importance of creating safe spaces for children, and sharing a resource that encourages meaningful conversations. 

I'm excited to share my experience as a co-host alongside Denoris for a special podcast conversation introducing Second Season Sisters. Together, we explore what it means for women to enter a new season of life with confidence, purpose, and clarity. Our conversations  focus on creating a supportive community where women can connect, share their experiences, rediscover themselves, and encourage one another through life's transitions. Second Season Sisters is about embracing change, choosing yourself, and having a safe space to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I'm grateful for the opportunity to co-host this meaningful conversation with Denoris and help bring this vision of sisterhood and empowerment to life.

In July, I had the opportunity to attend Miss Sweet Potato Pie's Celebrity Lookalike Fashion Show. The event focused on supporting and uplifting children in the Black community. The event was filled with fun, creativity, and positive representation, giving children a space to celebrate their culture and express themselves. I'm grateful to have been part of such a meaningful and joyful event!

September is a time to pause, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the person you are becoming. As we enter a new month, I'm encouraging everyone to make space for self-love, self-care, and personal empowerment. Take time to celebrate your progress, recognize your strengths, and remember that your growth is worth honoring. This month, let's focus on pouring into ourselves, setting meaningful intentions, and embracing the confidence to move forward with purpose. Here's to a September filled with love, growth and empowerment.

We’re a few months into 2025, and I want to check in with you: How are you doing with your goals so far?

If you’ve hit a rough patch or are feeling behind, you’re not alone. Progress isn’t always linear, and it’s okay if things haven’t gone according to plan yet. The great news? You still have many months left in 2025—so let’s keep going!

I came across an inspiring quote recently: “No More Procrastination.” It was a reminder that every day is an opportunity to take even small steps forward. Even if it’s just a little progress each day, it counts.

Remember, it’s perfectly fine if things aren’t perfect right now. What matters is that we keep moving forward, even on the tough days. Let’s use every new day as an opportunity to get closer to our goals, no matter where we are in the journey.
