This is where the played-out, yet heartfelt, entrepreneurial journey story goes…right Usually, it’s all…

I started at this job, I thought it’s what I wanted to do, it turns out (it wasn’t/they were jacked up/ insert life explosion here) which brought me to doing what I love now and making buttloads of money and getting to take in ample experiences with my daughter and tropical vacations where I get to frolic around looking like the tasty snack I am (or as Lizzo would say, the whole damn meal). 

I lived happily ever after, at the end. 

And you know what? All of it would be true. Except for the “happily ever after, the end” part. You can scrap that ish. 

Because even with over 20 years of speaking, training, coaching, fundraising and marketing behind me…I found the journey was far from over. 

Now, ain’t that a bitch. Like really, how many “dark night of the soul’s” does it take?

But the truth is, the focus never should have been on what I was achieving. It always should have been on the how I was achieving it…and more importantly on the why I was doing all of it to begin with. 

The truth is, I was chasing … following …

  • Following every “you know you really should be doing…”

  • Following every “you’re too much” or “you’re not enough”

  • Following every trend that promised me the kind of life wanted to have…

Hell, I was even following the plan to be married with 2.5 kids until ta-da! Single mom of one badass girl. 

It wasn’t until I took a moment to look around, and realized that nothing I was truly proud of ever came from following a damn thing. 

So I traded in following for creating and embracing. 

I started creating what I wanted work, parenting, and my relationships to look like. 

I started embracing classic 90's Queens homegirl meets the quintessential corner office executive that lives in me. 

I started creating a plan and purpose around the impact I wanted to make and the ripple effect that followed. 

I started embracing my natural gift to inspire others, whether that was through an intimate one-on-one conversation or a room filled with thousands of people. 

And you know what? It worked.

And you know what? It worked.

And you know what? It worked. In fact, not only did it work…but me leading in my full Claire Huxtable meets Blanche Devereaux goodness meant I was now giving permission to anyone watching to do the same. 

But having permission to do something and knowing how to do it is a completely different ball park. Now, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but…a lot of us have been playing dress up, especially in these social media/online streets. And when it’s suddenly time for the dress up to stop, it’s not so easy to remember what was underneath it all. 

THIS became my work, my life's purpose. Helping those who wish to lead, create and show up as their full authentic selves while living a life that actually matches who that is. 

So now, my story flips to you…because you and I know (whether you say it outloud or not) that happily ever after doesn’t always feel so happy, so fulfilling, so real. 

But I’m here, your favorite West Indian Fairy Godmother, to help guide you through whatever you want this next chapter to look like.
