What advice would you give to the next
generation of female leaders?
You only get one life so you decide what you do with it and take responsibility for your own actions. Second: Remember to let your passion inside you lead you because we are born with are own gift. Third: remember to water your seed with love, forgiveness, understanding and the courage to move on.
What makes you happy?
Attending counseling for myself and spending time with the people, I love, putting together community events, doing photography, and connecting others to different resources in our community.
What makes you most proud of yourself?
I made a decision five years ago to attend counseling. Because, I needed to learn how to love myself better and be better for me. It’s been a journey but its been one of the best things, I could’ve ever done for myself.
