This week on Friday, I pray to celebrate another year as the sun sets on the blessing of this past one and ushers in the promise of a new & glorious one. Ever since first hearing the song in this video, each time I hear it I would often think about my brother, Darrick, who […]
February is FINALLY here! (Yes, January seemed like it was forever..lol). Hands down it is my favorite month, not just because it was the month I was born in, but also because it is jammed packed with so much! This year I decided to incorporate a few challenges to add to the excitement. So, if […]
A new fitness initiative, ALPHA PHIT CLUB (Facebook or Instagram), has launched and for the month of January presented a challenge of eating no sugar for the month. Individuals have taken this on as an opportunity to focus on discipline and transforming their bodies. I must commend this approach. Though I typically never say […]
Each year is a blessing and 2017 was not any different. I’m continually grateful for each day, moment, year. Even with my racing and triathlon season, though shortened by injury, I was blessed to walk away from the bike fall, go through physical therapy and get on the road back to 100%.

International Day of the Girl (Since 2012) has been celebrated on October 11th as a day to highlight and address the needs and challenges girls face, while promoting girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights.

In life’s journey it may prove challenging, continue to have a childlike heart full of excitement, hope, and openness that […]
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. After today’s 2016 finale, I […]
Going into the Chicago Triathlon weekend in preparation for my Olympic triathlon, there are some nerves, some excitement, and having just witness the 2016 Rio Olympics, I must say that I have once again been inspired. Having a variety of tools and rituals that keep one focused, motivated, and passionate about being a triathlete, improving, growing, […]
