Growing up in the challenging environment of Detroit, MI I navigated a childhood marked by poverty and the absence of a father, being raised by a resilient single mother. Despite enduring the hardships of teenage pregnancy, I faced my trials head-on, including a life-altering moment in my youth that tested my strength and resolve.. Today, I am passionate about mentoring and empowering others: My journey stands as a testament to perseverance and determination to rise above all circumstances that we may encounter in life.
