Why I Joined the First Ladies of Poverty Foundation (FLP):My 1st encounter with First Ladies of Poverty Foundation [FLP] was through a platform called Girlboss. It had to be about a year ago. 

     I was very impressed initially with the mission and work of First Ladies of Poverty Foundation [FLP]. I'd never seen or hear of anything else like First Ladies of Poverty Foundation [FLP]. I admired the work the FLP is doing for BIPOC communities. I knew I wanted to be apart of it - and just somehow knew that one day I'd be apart of it. I want to join the First Ladies of Poverty Foundation [FLP] because I want to be apart of a community that uplifts BIPOC communities and gives us opportunities, education, and tools to succeed. 

​     I have a personal mission to change the legacy of my family and my [ethnic group], and I know that starts with me. I believe in what FLP is doing and I'd be proud to play a role in this amazing organization. We need more [BIPOC] leaders. With more of us leading, setting examples, and helping one another the more amazing things we can accomplish together.

What It Is Like Working With Me

     It's always a pleasant experience working with me. I am a very passionate worker, I give my best effort to anything I take on and commit to. I am supportive and encouraging to the people I work with. I am respectful and empathetic. I also care very much of working somewhere I can evolve, but also evolve without being micromanaged or coerced into being like everyone else.I love to learn, I'm a thinker, I'm creative and great at problem solving. I am great at teamwork and working alone.

Personal Bio

     My childhood was full of every type of abuse, neglect, and dysfunction. Growing up exposed to what I was and living in those conditions, I developed Anxiety, PTSD, MDD- Major Depressive Disorder. At 19, I had a mental breakdown which started the Healing Process. I was diagnosed with the mental illnesses above and began seeking treatment through many different methods--psychologists, psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, mental hospitals, treatment facilities and variety of prescribed medications. I experienced no significant progress with those methods, and it wasn't until I renewed my faith by getting baptized and starting my own [personal] relationship with God, that I began to overcome the depression that I felt like I had the majority of my life. I use my testimony to help others in similar situations by letting them know there's hope, They CAN overcome their mental illness and accomplish their dreams despite what mental illness they have/had or circumstances they face.
