As a poor black girl growing up on the south side of Columbus. I faced many adversities. Redlined communities with poor education presented damning odds against me. As a child, I was kidnapped by my father. This incident caused my mother to be committed to a mental institution. Once I returned to my mother. I experienced rejection from both my biological family and my step fathers family. I realized I was different. I was told I didn’t belong. As a victim of molestation and domestic violence, I intimately connect to issues concerning sexual identity and abuse. As a minority in America, I quickly learned I was considered inferior. The rules of life were very different as a black woman. My experience of racism at a young age propelled me to seek answers to many questions.

Despite my many trials, tribulations and setbacks, I excelled. I won many educational and performance scholarships. I achieved multiple pageant titles to pay for schooling. I was the first of my six siblings to graduate from college and seek a graduate degree. In “Corporate America” I excelled as a top sales professional and manager for America’s Top 20 Corporations. Leaving corporate America I chartered my own path and decided to become a serial entrepreneur. I own B-Lashes, a Beauty salon and training academy. I am the owner of Eclipse Luxury Contacts, an online color contact lens company. I own a vacation rental company Rella Bella Properties. My current building project in the Dominican Republic has come to a halt. As the people in the Dominican republic have scammed me out of over 60K. No legal help has found solutions as of yet. This project was designed to give back to the economically disadvantaged and racially discriminated against in El Valle, Samanna, Dominican Republic; through her Little Hands, Big Hearts organization.

Early on, I became a voice to fight against racial discrimination. I continue to promote diversity and stand against racial inequity. My message is relatable to any generation. Through her trials and triumphs, I have discovered who I am and what my purpose is in life. My ability to intertwine theology with practicality to my audience is what sets me apart. My message is always timely and resonates to all. Life is about discovering, “Who we are,” and “What our purpose,” is on this beautiful earth. My ability to tell my story while walking my audience through discovering who they are and finding their purpose is Uncanny.
