I had the opportunity to be interviewed recently on the Birthing Purpose Podcast which is hosted by my friend, Kacy-Ann Crosdale. I was grateful for the opportunity as I haven’t reflected on my past, and my present in this way in a while. As I listened to the completed interview, I was left in awe of my journey. It felt as if I were on the outside looking in. I was filled with varied emotions as I listened to the situations I have experienced, observing how much I have grown and realizing how my experiences have shaped me into the person I am today, against all odds.
As I listened to my interview, there were a few things that stood out to me:
- No matter what, do not give up. Fight against all odds.
- You may not understand why things are happening now, but with time, things will make sense.
- Failure isn’t final.
- Appreciate the people who support you.
- Do not live under the opinions of others.
- Learn from your mistakes.
- Do not disqualify yourself; go after whatever it is that you want.
- Use your journey to help others.

Oh yes! It has been great listening to your story. It is indeed inspiring. I love how you push through even though one of the odds was evident at age 17 when you became pregnant and you could easily throw in the towel, but instead you did push and guh through in spite of….wonderful fighting take place there and so you can smile at the fruits of your labor. To God be the glory for all that He has done in and through you.
