A Glimpse into my Journey
My life story defies statistics and stereotypes. As a teenage mother, I was labeled as just another statistic, facing daunting odds. According to projections, my chances of finishing high school were slim, college completion before 30 was almost nonexistent, and poverty seemed inevitable. But those statistics couldn't have been more wrong.
​
I realized that what seemed like disadvantages actually provided me with a unique edge. In fact, everyone possesses their own "unfair advantage" that can propel them forward in life, business, and career. Recognizing this, I made it my mission to maximize this attribute to its fullest potential. My journey is far from typical, but it's a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the belief in defying expectations.

Don't just weather the storms of life – thrive in them.
