WHAT IS YOUR SOUL PURPOSE? THIS CAN BE FROM YOUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OR THOSE YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED.

To illuminate the souls of people that are dark inside. In 2018 I met some of the most beautiful spirits. Their souls were just scarred and tainted. ‘Til this day I continue to heal and illuminate their souls with laughter, care and love.

I LOVE THAT! WE ALL NEED SUPPORT FOR SURE. SO TELL ME, WHAT HAS IMPACTED YOUR JOURNEY THAT CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE?

My diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder I has been a challenge but hey! Who doesn’t love a challenge right? It has created me to grow into the healthcare field, as a Pharmaceutical Technician. Future Pharmacologist.

THAT'S AMAZING. IT”S BREAKING THE STIGMA FOR ME! HOW HAVE YOU LEVERAGE YOUR TALENTS, ABILITIES AND PASSION TO OVERCOME THE PAST OR CURRENT CHALLENGES YOU ARE FACING?

I had to stay grounded and learn that I will never mold into who I truly am until I push my passion in loving people and healing hearts.

LOVE IS DEFINITELY A FORM OF HEALING THAT RESONATES WITH ME AS WELL. WHAT SOLUTIONS DO YOU BELIEVE WILL EMPOWER OTHERS TO PERSEVERE THROUGH UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES??

The main and only real solution is love. Love will push anyone and everyone to help, understand and come together.

I HEAR UNITY, WITH THAT BEING SAID IN THE MIDST OF UNCERTAINTY WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY, HAPPINESS AND PEACE OF MIND?

Knowing that I have lived to see another day and that God will always be in my life.

YOU ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY PERSON I KNOW THAT WILL QUOTE SCRIPTURE AFTER LISTENING TO TRAP MUSIC! CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A FEW THINGS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU? THIS CAN BE HOBBIES, MUSIC, TELEVISION SHOWS, MOVIES, PLACES. WHAT EXCITES YOU AND WHY?

So I am really big into manifestation. I love listening to music and a variety of music, for example country, pop, indie rock, hip-hop, R&B and gospel. I played softball for 8 years. Growing up, I was considered a tomboy. All I would wear was tennis shoes, and play sports that would be considered for a boy to play and I come from a family of very strong Independent and brave men and women.

YOU’RE DEFINITELY A FUN TIME! SO MANY MEMORIES TO CHERISH. WHAT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT CAN YOU GIVE TO ANYONE WHO IS GOING THROUGH A SIMILAR CHALLENGE(S)?

The pressure always makes diamonds and to be chosen to have that much pressure applied to your life means that God really sees something special in you.

WHAT TOPIC BEST DESCRIBES YOUR WELLNESS JOURNEY?

Spirituality
