April 14, 2021 I Am Growth: Reflecting a the time in my Sorority!
Hello!
My sorority has celebrated 31 years on April 9, 2021!
And my ship sisters have celebrated 5 years of being together!
So I decided it would be fun to share 5 lessons I have learned while being in Greek Life and also shared some things about my sisters that have inspired me about them!
If you've ever thought about Greek Life, just go to an informational or join rush week and find your home.

Apologies for the tears haha they were unexpected.

Thank You! Stay Uplifted!

April 08, 2021 I am a Leader
I don't think of my self as a leader but when I see people leading in a way that is not effective and may even be called harmful, it gets under my skin!
I have a rant about Leadership and what you should do as a leader!
These are my morning thoughts about being a leader. If it sounds scattered apologies! This wasn't planned I need a minute to reflect and let some research settle so I can present on the podcast and share with you!
If you are a leader please take the time to educate yourself so you can educate the people you have an influence over!
If you are a leader please listen and reflect if you are being held accountable
If you are holding someone accountable please think about how you are doing it! Is it with a good heart and respectfully. Accountability is a two way street!

April 02, 2021 I am a Creator of Spaces of Empowerment: Living with Bipolar II
Today I talk to a sorority sister! Since our common denominator is or sorority and college we decided to start there!
We talk about our mental state in college and how it has changed to now!

Disclaimer: At some point we talk about medications. If you are taking medications for your mental health please continue to take them and take them with care!
I personally don't see myself wanting to take medications, however with the right team Gaby was able to find the right medication and she is choosing to take them.

March 04, 2021 I am Blue: Conversation with a Former Police Officer
My first in person guest!
Today I have a conversation with a former Detroit Police Officer. I talk to him about being a Black Police Officer and what it means to him.
We also talk about stuff he wishes to see change.
I understand that having this conversation may be hard for some but I also feel like it's a conversation that needs to be happen.
People react on fear of what they do not know.
Please enjoy the conversation and let me know what you think!
This first in person guest is very hardworking and driven, he works hard for what he wants!
To him: Thank you for basically being kidnapped for 6+ hours and doing the interview! And eating my food you didn't like!

February 25, 2021 I am A Letter to Suicide
I try really had to get an episode out each week but I will be honest last week was hard.
It was my friends death anniversary and I was buried with emotions.
I wrote this to show the effect my friend had on my life.
My friend took his life February 16, 2012, he saved my life two month prior. This is the story of our friendship.
I also talk about the lasting effects of losing a friend or loved one to suicide, how a simple act like making eye contact with someone, something that may seem so small for someone may save the receiving person and change their life.
You can read many stories about someone planning to jump off a bridge or take their life but then a stranger held the door open or said "Hello" it's the smallest actions that may have the biggest impact one some.

February 01, 2021I am Resetting
Is anyone else excited about a new month falling on a Monday! I am always kind of excited for Mondays because I get to wake up early do my morning routine and get to work, on weekends I let my self sleep in or let my body wake me up. I get so excited about waking up early! The past few weeks have been a struggle I was slacking on my routine so this is me resetting and almost starting over. A way for me to reset my routine and refocus on why I wake up when no one else does and how to schedule out my day to accomplish what I want to get done! I usually spend the whole weekend resetting, it's the time where I have the full day to clean my apartment and work out, there are no excuses to why I can't get things done. But I learned that I can reset ever single day even during the week! This is how I reset!
Light a candle

Clean apartment

Make a smoothie

Plan the week ahead
I can easily do all these things during the week!
Today is a New Week! AND a New Month! I am so excited to revisit my goals and make a plan for all of them for the month! ** It is also Black History Month please stay tuned for stories this month! And please take the time to educate yourself on the REAL Black History**
