Rising Above Negative Messages: My Journey to Self-Acceptance

​

From an early age, negative messages surrounded me, questioning my abilities, my focus, and even my worth.

​

"Too smart to be lazy."
"If you just focused more..."
"You always wait until the last minute..."


The criticisms were relentless, casting shadows over my achievements and fueling self-doubt. Yet, deep within, I held onto a core belief: I was an incredible, creative, and brilliant woman destined to make a difference.

​

Despite the external noise, I sought answers and understanding. By embracing grace and self-belief, I began to see past the labels and misconceptions. I recognized my strengths—my dedication, my empathy, my relentless pursuit of excellence.

​

Today, I stand as a testament to resilience, a beacon for others navigating similar paths. By God's grace and my unwavering self-belief, I've embraced my true identity—a fiercely talented woman, empowered to inspire and uplift others.

My Path To Embracing Rest

From Struggles to Strength: My Journey with ADHD

​

For years, I battled with relentless thoughts, overwhelming fatigue, and a sense of constant overwhelm. Misunderstood by many, including medical professionals who dismissed my concerns, I felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety and stress. My suspicions about ADHD were often brushed aside, with one doctor even suggesting I was "too smart" for such a diagnosis.

​

Determined to find answers, I delved into research, drawing from my extensive experience in women's health advocacy and natural hair care for Black women. Recognizing a pattern of stress, anxiety, and potential ADHD symptoms among many women I encountered, I pursued certifications in mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Despite the challenges, I embarked on my diagnostic journey, finally receiving an ADHD diagnosis at 53.

Empowering Women with ADHD

I understand the unique struggles women with ADHD face—being underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and often labeled as lazy or unmotivated. That's why I created my curated courses and community. These courses offers evidence-based strategies to help women embrace rest and overcome fatigue, revitalizing every aspect of their lives.
