So, I met Jamesha….wow has to be about 8 years ago. I was in college and went to a poetry gathering at a little place called Wok N Roll. I had heard a few poets that night and then Jamesha got on stage. It was like time stood still; she commands that kind of presence.…… Continue reading Women of Wisdom- Jamesha

As I have stated before HER is my positive space. I enjoy highlighting those who are working in the community and especially those who focus on women. I found Dear Brown Girl through another networking group and just loved the message and positivity that exuded from this page.The internet can be such a dark place…… Continue reading Working Women’s Network-Dear Brown Girls

She’s an actress, a fashion designer, leader, teacher, but most importantly she is a woman with a humble and willing spirit. I have always admired her ability to really be transparent and open.

I met Mahogany my first year of graduate school. She exuded confidence and grace. You could tell she was extremely intelligent and had a good heart. She always had some of the best answers in the class and people would gather a few minutes after class and engage in lively discussions. She was someone that…… Continue reading Women of Wisdom- Mahogany

So…I’ve taken a bit of a break from blogging, not too long, but just enough to clear my head. Unfortunately, during the break I have not been reading like I said I would. So that means I do not have the update on the book Start with Why  like I said I would. Being a…… Continue reading Taking Care of Self

I “met” Kristen about 4 years ago. I put quotation marks around met, because I have never physically been in Kristen’s presence. I first heard about her through her empowerment blog for women called EmpowerMoments. I subscribed to the blog for a few months and when the opportunity for new writers came about I immediately…… Continue reading Women of Wisdom-Kristen
