Take Back YOUR Power To Be Yourself.

Have you ever observed your emotions when you find out your character’s picture painted is not true? What do you say when your name is under attack? How does it feel when someone is perpetuating a lie about who you are to their friends and family? Sit and feel those emotions because how you are feeling is real.

I’ve been conditioned like everyone else only to share the happier parts. Continue reading →

The old me is dead and gone…..dead and gone. Continue reading →
