I'm standing in
the ashes of who
I used to be

Teenage Pregnancy High School drop out in my first year Single Mother/Welfare, Underemployed Seeking Identity Acceptance Promiscuous Behavior Broken financially, mentally, & spiritually Suicidal Ideation Broken Relationships/Broken Promises Lost loved ones/ended toxic friendships Depressed/Anxiety/isolation

In society, those are signs of weakness but in my journey, my testimony…it is classified as strength and a strong work ethic to never give up. I symbolize a rebirth, a renewal, healing, as I continue rise out the fire. I am the Phoenix Bird, it is in my Blood, it is imprinted on my body…. She is Virtuous Phoenix!!!

My Testimony

People only know my past but not God’s vision. Born and Raised in a two parent home. Church Girl, Black Baptist Praying Family, a lifetime Girl Scout Member, Community engagement, outreach leader, exposed to education, and the benefits of a HBCU to higher standards, Alumna of Spelman College, master’s degree ’ed, Social Work Professional, Certified Life Coach, Self Esteem and Self Image Curriculum program for teenage girls and those suffering from homelessness, nonprofit management leadership certified. I hold myself accountable. I am now extremely selective in my choices (Spirit of Discernment), I am valued, I am loved, and every day, I am being shaped into the woman I am destined to be. I have learned to speak my truth through words of affirmation and self-care…. I can’t be broken !!!
