The Student becomes the Teacher
Entering my 20s was a confusing time. I was trying to find my place as a young woman. Midway through my 20s, I hit a rut. I wasn’t in the best headspace.

Write the Vision & Make it Plain
2021 was my first year creating a Vision Board at the beginning of the year. Last year I was flipping through magazines in August in my friend’s Atlanta living room.
