“Someone once said, ‘a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.’ So, I make it a point to be that candle for other woman; sharing information, being a listening ear, offering honest input, motivation, and encouragement.”

About me

People often ask, how did I get where I am?  Oh, and it’s not like I am sitting on top of the world or anything, but I am such a long way from where I started.  You see there were no silver spoons for me, my story, my truth is one of grit and grind.
So, to answer the question of how I got here I need to take you down memory lane to where it all began.  If you ever heard the saying “Yes there really is a Kalamazoo”, I can tell you most definitely because I grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  I have an identical twin sister and we were the eldest of seven children raised by a single mom who did the best she could with what she had but often time it wasn’t quite enough. Growing up I didn’t know what I wanted out of life, but I knew what I didn’t want and that was the life I was living.  It is rather ironic that I am a stickler for continuous learning and growth because education wasn’t a priority in my household…
