A Divine Journey: 251 Days of Breaking Barriers and Building Purpose

251 days. That’s how long it’s been since I crossed the Texas state line, determined to transform my life. And though there were moments when I thought about returning to Georgia—to seek comfort, to declare defeat—something deep within wouldn’t let me. I wasn’t meant to go back to Atlanta. I’m not called to that.

Along the way, I've faced betrayal. People I once called “friends” turned their backs on me, simply because I refused to shrink into mediocrity. They tried to dim my light, driven by jealousy. But you know what? It only brought the truth to light.

My light is too powerful to be dimmed. People have tried to count me out because I didn’t show up in the form they expected or desired. But that’s their issue, not mine.

The challenges have been real—but let me tell you this: nothing, NOTHING compares to the glory of God and His grace over my life.

This journey is far from a series of mere coincidences or catchy quotes about not shrinking to fit in. Yes, I’ve lost, but I have gained more than I could have ever imagined.

My mental health has been on a steady path to improvement. I’ve found peace, clarity, and strength in ways I hadn’t before. My relationships have deepened, and I’ve finally started cutting off the ones that were built on nothing but emptiness. Those relationships no longer serve me, and releasing them has been freeing.

I’ve also begun cultivating my tribe—my genuine, unshakeable tribe. The people who uplift me, challenge me, and cheer for my success. I’m surrounded by those who align with my purpose, and it feels like a powerful shift.

Yesterday, I got an email that I was selected to speak at a major state conference in April. Out of all the applicants, they chose ME. This is not just an opportunity to speak to a new audience—it's a divine chance to make a difference, to share my knowledge, and to inspire change.

This isn’t the beginning. I’ve been winning in Texas since day one. From being honored at a Women's Appreciation Breakfast to speaking on one of the most attended panels at the library about overcoming a scarcity mindset. From presenting at the Frost Tower to making more business progress in the last eight months than I’ve made since 2017—this is only the start.

251 days down, and I’m just getting started. I'm coming for everything I’ve ever wanted and more.

God doesn’t play about me.
