To: Riley, Tanayea, Tarshana, Taquara, Maya, Trinity, Anayah, Kelsey, Olivia, Akeria, Kyra, Terica and I dedicate this to all the little girls, teens and women whose hearts I’d long to protect and encapsulate from hurt. In life’s journey it may prove challenging, continue to have a childlike heart full of excitement, hope, and openness that […]
On this day, I was blessed with a gift that I’m still in awe of each day I wake..for LIFE has granted me.. PASSION, which has given me a zest for life, to still see it as through the eyes of a child and hope, play and love beyond limitation or reason. PURPOSE, which has […]
Now that we are settling into 2017, how is your new year looking so far? Typically, by now I would have already completed updating my vision board, have my list of 2017 goals and commitments set, and focused on the steps and what I need to do to achieve along with my continued journey of […]
This year has been an amazing one for both my indoor & outdoor triathlon seasons. Getting faster, acquiring sponsorships, moving up to Olympic distance & in placement towards the top my age group of triathletes (and hope to see overall as well), has been great accomplishments for me this year.

Though I love writing for my blog, F7LN, yet to open up the pages of Newcity Magazine to see my words as a contribution to the publication (as well as online) is so amazing! This past month, I had the opportunity to share my experience as a triathlete getting ready to welcome the Chicago summer […]
My eyes tear up before I even begin to write this… Well, to be honest, not a day has passed in the last year where at some point in the day, I’ve not had at least a teary-eyed memory or just allowed myself a period to cry in missing him. I never imagined this time […]
A day is not nearly enough to honor and celebrate the woman who was a vessel through which life was passed and nurtured, however, on this day I want to wish a blessed and beautiful day to my mom. To all the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, godmothers, mentors, and women who give life, speak life, […]
