My Story
I was born into a working class African American family. My parents came North from the segregated South in that great migration of the mid-1940s.
There was love in the home, but there was also emotional and physical abuse. And although church seemed to be of great comfort to my mother, it was the opposite for me. It would take almost 40 years for me to access and live by my own spiritual beliefs.
I loved school, until the 3rd grade, where I experienced intense colorism from my teacher. His daily and constant bullying resulted in intense self-loathing and significantly contributed to the development of various addictions (food and money) to compensate for the pain. I remember wishing I had never been born.
In addition, I also experienced sexual trauma several times in my life. Fortunately, I summoned the strength to do the healing work for that trauma.
As I moved through the corporate world, I experienced the joy of some beautiful moments. Sadly, there were also times of intense racism and sexism, which I felt deeply.
As I chased my perception of the “American Dream”, my world fell apart. All the material goods I acquired only exacerbated my feelings of despair and desperation. I realized that there was a lot of internal work to do as I was experiencing life- threatening illnesses, financial disasters and numerous involuntary job changes.
These events ignited my hunger to learn more. Which caused me to seek out alternative healers, healing modalities, therapy, books, workshops, and more. I faced my inner demons by being willing to examine the lies I had been told about WHO I was and WHAT I can do. As I stripped away the “false self,” the REAL me emerged.
I did this intense work so that I could lift up my eyes and live in the sunlight as my Creator intended.
So, my story is a journey from pain, anguish and suffering to one of joy, peace and freedom. It was long and arduous, with many breakdowns and breakthroughs that ultimately lead to the release of self-harming survival behaviors and the mastery of my mental, physical, and spiritual superpowers.
My life today is unlike what I thought was possible, not just for me but for anybody.
Today I know… we are not meant to struggle. We are born with everything we need to fulfill our destiny and achieve the dreams and desires of our heart.
I also know that most of us are struggling. Most of us live lives of quiet desperation.
This is not how we were meant to live and with the right information and inspiration, support and strategies, this can be turned around permanently. No matter how stuck, hopeless or overwhelming shame and guilt you feel, there is a way out. Let me help you.
