We work so hard—day in and day out—trying to prove ourselves in life and in our careers. Battling imposter syndrome. Silencing doubt. Overcoming character flaws that were never flaws to begin with—just mislabelings of our brilliance by people who never understood our light. And in the process, many of us spend years trying to earn a seat at tables that were never meant for us. But here’s the truth: Some of you still want seats at a table God would have wanted you to flip. See, everyone loves the verse— “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies” (Psalm 23:5). But what if the focus was never supposed to be on the enemies, but on the table that God is preparing for you ? That table? That’s where nourishment, peace, purpose, and alignment are served.

To test whether or not I’ve truly left imposter syndrome behind. To see if I will silence myself again just to make them comfortable. Spoiler alert: I won’t. The Misunderstood Glow-Up People mistake my passion for aggression. My assertiveness for being “too emotio...

To the  Purposed people I serve in the Entrepreneur and Small Business Ecosystem! Listen, we made it through March, honey! SMH (I think lol) 😵‍💫 If you see or speak to me on a weekly basis, YOU KNOW THE REAL DEAL—and let me tell you, this retrograde did the absolute most this season 🤧. If you know, you know. BUT! It ALL worked out for your good- if you let it.. Honestly, it’s been some heavy lifting down here in Southside Virginia. Many businesses in the ecosystem are preparing for the amazing opportunities that the new casino will bring, and let me tell you—it’s a grind! 💪🏾 You know, there’s something about being affiliated with big names and sitting in boardrooms where decisions get made about the ecosystem of Petersburg . That’s one thing. But it’s a whole different grind being in the trenches, face-to-face with the minority-owned small businesses  and entrepreneurs too! (less than 250 employees) who make it all come together—who put in the hard work, sweat, and tea...
