Throughout my life, I was faced with many challenges. For instance, I became pregnant at 17 years old, became a single mother, experienced growing up without my parents, and the list goes on. Because of all of my experiences, I endured a lot of pain and struggled with knowing my self-worth. For many years, I tried to cope with my issues on my own and it was extremely difficult. And I want to help as many people as possible to avoid facing challenges alone. I have a passion to help others to avoid some of the challenges that I faced, and I also have a passion to encourage someone who is currently going through something that I have experienced or who has experienced something similar.  I believe that sharing our experiences (good and bad) is necessary to heal.  Sharing also gives people hope. On the other hand, not sharing causes people to feel alone. And could also cause a person to struggle with guilt and shame.  I am committed to convincing people that they can survive anything as long as they have faith and a relationship with the Lord.

Pain becomes power when you share your painful experiences to inspire others. Not only am I willing to share my mistakes, I am also willing to explain why I made certain decisions and give reasons why my decisions did not work. I want to share insight on how to make better decisions that will impact you and your children. Even though I cannot help someone to completely avoid pain, I want to provide some insight on how to cope with pain and move on with your life. I want to prevent people from getting stuck after suffering from a heartbreak or becoming overwhelmed with being a single mom. I desperately want to see more people face their issues so that they can win in the end.
