I attribute my success to resilience, faith, and being willing to embrace discomfort. I don’t believe in failure, I believe in redirection. Every challenge has taught me something valuable and pushed me closer to my purpose. Taking risks can sound cliché, but growth truly comes from being willing to step outside of your comfort zone. Serving others has always been a natural part of who I am. Whether working with youth, vulnerable populations, or even supporting peers, I’ve always found fulfillment in helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered. My passion for mental health and community impact has opened doors for meaningful partnerships and opportunities that allow me to serve in multiple capacities and create positive change. More than anything, I want people to remember that I worked hard, led with kindness, and inspired others along the way.

The best career advice I’ve ever received actually came from my younger brother. He told me, “Don’t be afraid to take the risk. Getting too comfortable can limit your growth and keep you from discovering what’s truly possible for you.” That advice has stayed with me because so much growth comes from being willing to step into the unknown. And honestly, he’s a living testament to that mindset himself.

The advice I would give to young women aspiring to become entrepreneurs is to write everything down — every idea, passion, and purpose-driven goal. Journaling helped me bring my vision to life. Back in 2024, I wrote down my goal of hosting a wellness retreat, and by the summer of 2025, that vision became something people were genuinely excited about and interested in, especially within urban communities where wellness spaces are deeply needed. I’ve learned that consistency is everything. Keep showing up for your vision, even when it’s still developing. And most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Growth and success are rarely achieved alone, building the right team and community around you makes all the difference.

Right now, one of the biggest challenges has been finding and building genuine community, especially in Detroit, where I was born and raised. There’s so much talent, creativity, and potential here, but creating meaningful connections and support systems can sometimes feel challenging

I would say my top 3 values are, first and foremost, respect. We don't have to be on the same page, but I feel like respect goes a long way. Additionally, just integrity - being able to just have transparent and honest connections with one another. There's nothing wrong with everybody shining, so that would be my second one. And then lastly, I'll just say having creativity is a huge value because just the uniqueness of people's passions, and what drives it, and what ends up coming out of it at the end, is very eye-opening.
