What inspired you to do what you do?

My inspiration comes from the desire to want to be great and help others to reach their greatest potential as well. I remember being a child and feeling like I had nobody but there were individuals who came into my life even for just moments that were very impactful and made a difference in who I've become today. In some way, shape or form, they told me or reminded me of my power even before I knew I possessed it. I just want to pay it forward and give others that feeling as well. Thats probably why I spent a majority of my life working with kids because I know how it feels to have someone be a light for you when you're surrounded by darkness. So since I've learned to keep my light lit, ive been encouraged to inspire others to do the same.

What was the biggest challenge you've had?

The biggest challenge I feel like I had to endure was growth. Evolving is a challenge because you shed so much. I lost money, I lost friends, I lost my grandmother and sometimes I had moments where I felt like I was losing my mind. When you come from nothing, you try to hold on to everything but when God wants to elevate you, he forces you to let go and sometimes for me that was a challenge that hindered me and made me waste a lot of time.

What advice would you give someone who wants to do what you do?

Press play! I wasted a lot of time being fearful, overthinking and procrastinating. Take care of your self and your mental health because those things play a huge factor in your productivity, your mindset and your ambition to get things done. The world is full of a lot of great people that never gets to display their greatness, don't be one of them, you can do it, You Got This!

What has your business taught you about yourself?

I am a procrastinator. I am an introvert. I like free structure (I made that up) and I need deadlines and reminders or I won't get stuff done.

What do you want your legacy to be?

"I want my legacy to be that I was a Purposeful and Powerful woman, who manifested miracles and always strived to succeed at whatever I wanted to be, do or have. I will be a successful author, Life Coach, Business Owner, Speaker, Vintner and Mogul. I want to be known for being the voice for the voiceless and the light for those experiencing darkness. I want to be remembered for my work, my style and the legacy that I leave behind for generations to come."

Whats the Tea?

The tea is that sometimes I listen to country music when I'm in the car by myself.
