As I had my first battle with Thyroid Cancer in 2021, I just started doing things I dreamed of. I hosted several educational events and a successful Cancer awareness breakfast with an associate of which we honored the many types of cancer warriors. No doubt the most challenging thing in my life has helped me become the most successful. Today after round 2, and being hospitalized for over 20 days, from complications of this Thyroid cancer journey I am looking forward to my next chapter and would love to share my story. Outside of hosting, here are several nooks I've self-published, available on AMAZON.COM and local and a few DFW libraries and bookstores.
My first novella: Holding on with both hands. Speaks about a young girl surviving this world to become a woman, adults only, RAW REALITY- FICTION.

From day one I had to overcome! I am the youngest of my parent's three children and our family was very dysfunctional. I entered this world with the umbilical cord around my neck choking me.

I was molested, and many other altercations that would’ve stunned the growth of most. Believe it or not, all of these things have empowered me to become the motivational speaker set before you!

To date, my relationship with God has enabled me to travel the world speaking my truth and empowering others to do the same. Leaving the message never a victim but always an overcomer.
