"I am living proof that you can use those same labels to break through the glass ceiling and dominate every space you walk into. Know that nothing is impossible once you recognize and boldly tell yourself that I’M POSSIBLE."

"What I learned? Say yes to every opportunity that comes your way… to be patient and understand that everything is a process. The puzzle will be complete when enough of its pieces come together. There is not one big puzzle piece that will solve everything. Every piece counts!”

“One of my most difficult milestones to overcome while in the foster care system was being disconnected from everything that I should have grown to love; family, friends, faith, etc… I felt like I lost a sense of who I was during that time in my life.

You have to learn to love yourself before you can genuinely spread love to others.”
