Back StoryBeing a young, black, feisty 23 year old
graduate from UW-Madison, I found myself unhappy with my current Job situation. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, I quit in spontaneous frustration.
Using my setback as a setup for a comeback, I decided to dedicate every moment of my life developing myself for the better, doing what feels right and achieving my goals and dreams.
….. It just so happened that what I loved was
cultivating and empowering others to do the same!
