Beyonce didn't start out flawless and neither will you.  In this 10th episode, I talk about my current and upcoming projects as well as touch on the topic of starting something even when you don't have everything perfectly aligned.  I call that an imperfect start.  I also intentionally did not edit out my flubs because...I too am imperfect.  Perfection comes with time but you have to start first. Finally, thank you, thank you, thank you for riding with us to episode #10.   #imperfectstart #perfectpractice #flawless #iwokeuplikethis #milestones #episode10

It’s finally here, our third episode in the Tuskegee University series. This episode was special for me because this group (only part of our whole) helped me get through the tough times in college and we shared a lot of memories.  I hope you can feel our love for each other and “Mother Tuskegee” coming through in this episode with the laughter and sharing of stories.  #Tuskegee #TuskegeeAirmen #HBCU
