| Being an African American growing up in disadvantaged neighborhoods forced me to survive. As I discovered my life purpose I begin to thrive instead of survive, shedding all statistics I were to conform to. I became my authentic self and utilized all the resources for underrepresented individuals and now I live life on my terms. |

We follow the money, opportunities and resources of the organizations whose mission/vision align with ours. |

| What message of hope or inspiration would you like to share with other women in our community who are also pursuing their dreams? |
| Ask and you shall receive, be who you are and it’ll be” – Rae McElroy. My message of hope/inspiration I would like to share with other women in your community who are also pursuing their dreams is as wild as it may seem to be, once you get on the winning team with yourself you’ll realize how often you succeed. There’s no shortcut, plug, discount or person who would show up like you show up for yourself. Remember people are a help on your journey as a result of you asking for it. Get in alignment and all things will be aligned for you. Lastly, please, please soak up the journey and when in doubt or fear ask yourself if you’re ready for what you’re wishing for. Usually the ‘no’ is the work in between you haven’t done to reach your wishes. |
