I have over 27 years of experience in my field and have an online course, alongside my best-selling book, workbook, and Podcast. I am a public speaker, and I was featured on WFLA Channel 8 BLOOM, where my expertise and devotion were highlighted to impact others in the community and beyond. Inspired by God, my mother, and Dr. Maya Angelou, I travel the world and am intentional about gaining wisdom that allows me to serve others.
