“Genuine relationships, over monetary gain, is what I consider to be TRUE success.”  The words of an amazing woman who I admire more and more every day, Melinda Santiago.  I met Melinda over a year ago while preparing for a fashion show that her artist Michael Keith (of 112) was putting together.  It didn’t take long for her to gain my respect both professionally and personally.  Everyone knows that I am all about girl power.  It does my heart good to see my sisters doing big things, living their best lives and helping others.  All of the things that I stated are the things that Melinda’s entire life is centered around, which is why she is truly a success.

Life requires style! ✨ This is not a post abou Life requires style!

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex. 
🗣POP STYLE SIS!!

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
