Dear Diary… before the crowns, leadership titles, and purpose, there were country roads, high school parties, and lessons learned along the way. I kick off this episode with a fun, unfiltered story time about my high school party days—bonfires, backyards, and growing up in the country—sharing how those moments shaped who I am today.

Then, the conversation goes deeper as I sit down with Mariana McCottry, a woman who truly wears many crowns. We talk about her journey to becoming who she is today, balancing leadership, being a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and managing mental health while holding major responsibilities on campus. This episode is honest, motivating, and full of growth, reminding us that becoming your best self takes grace, self-awareness, and purpose. 💗🎧 Enjoy the music listen here. @audionoise
