In 2009, I joined a program that challenged me to change my life in 90 days. Here I had the opportunity to be a part of a book anthology. I was excited, yet I struggled with my chapter. As the deadline was approaching, I encountered a mysterious homeless woman in a  powerful encounter. And through her I saw me. I saw my purpose and the power of encouragement at work. I realized what I live by now--every person deserves to be seen and welcomed in the room.  I later referred to her and named my story after her. I entitled it  "Fallen Angel." 

This inspired me to start using my voice to influence change with every opportunity that presented itself. I started doing poetry, spoken word, and storytelling in different arenas such as church, Chevron Diversity Scholarship Day, events for City Officials, community events, and book releases. My ability to engage an audience of any size opened doors for me to expand into hosting different types of workshops and speaking engagements. My “yes” to change lives one person at a time has taken me on an incredible journey of self-discovery to becoming a speaker,  author, storyteller, and writers/encouragement coach. I love to eat, laugh, dance, and I absolutely love people.

MY SELF-DISCOVERY JOURNEY BEGAN BY SAYING "YES" TO CHANGING LIVES ONE PERSON AT A TIME.
