Unbreakable:

1. Not able to be broken; indestructible
2. Able to withstand an attempt to break

Looking back over my life up until present day unbreakable is a perfect fit. Some may look at me and see a successful woman. Some may look and see how God has transformed my business from a tiny coaching practice with no paid clients to a thriving Kingdom Building Business!

My journey has not been easy and the challenges begin early in life. Mental, emotional, and physical anguish came knocking at my door. I have had just about everything one could imagine or experience thrown along my path.

From the ages of 4 to about 8, off and on I was sexually and physically abused by a family member. If that wasn't enough I would witness this same person sexually and physically abusing my mom. It took this man almost beating her to death for her to escape.

To make matters worse I grew up living in poverty. I never knew what it felt like to go shopping for school clothes or to McDonald's for a Happy Meal. In fact I had my first happy meal at the age of 11! Now for those of you who have never experience poverty, I will give a few examples of mine. For starters the home I lived in growing up had no working plumbing therefore I never knew what it felt like to jump in a tub and play with rubber ducks or have the luxury of having a family restroom.

My family was so poor that we got majority of our clothes from the city dump and the rest from people in the community. Since our lifestyle was far from ordinary of course I had the experience of being bullied daily and often would come home bruised and beaten. I was taught not to fight back, so the abuse became a part of my everyday life.

Mind you all of this was happening before the age of 10! I remember praying to God to end my young life because I couldn't take it anymore. As I got older the problems only got worse. During my teenage years I never gotten over all the horrible things I experienced as a child. I would throw all of my energy into academics and begin living a double life. To society it seemed as though I had it all together but behind closed doors I hated myself.

I was suffering from low self esteem, depression, suicidal thoughts, became an alcoholic at the age of 14, became sexual active at the age of 15, got pregnant at the age of 15 but had a miscarriage at school; which threw me into a deeper depression, attempted to commit suicide behind a bad breakup at the age of 17 but it didn't work; graduated from high school in '98 and my freshman year in college got pregnant and had another miscarriage and almost died. I became so depressed my GPA went from a 4.0 to a 1.0 and I dropped out of college. Mind you my parents didn't know I had dropped out, they just thought I needed a break since going to college straight from high school.

My life didn't even look hopeful until I accepted Christ back into my life in 2004 and my life has never been the same. Now please do not get me wrong I have made plenty of mistakes after that point, there have been times that I even ran back to the world looking for love and temporary comfort thru men who didn't care about me but only wanted me for their own personal satisfaction.

I sought validation in others to make me whole, to feel wanted, to be loved but found myself being involved heavily in cyber sex and pictures of me plastered across the internet. I felt as though all hope was loss, thinking God was disappointed in me and would never forgive me despite what His word said. I lived in a constant state of paranoia, worried my friends and family would find out about my secrets. I was slowly losing my mind.

Thinking this walk was too hard, I wanted to give up but God was not letting go of me, for He had extraordinary plans for my life. I loved helping people and I thought what better way than to get a degree in the medical field. I obtain my AAS degree as a Respiratory Therapist in August 2006. I quickly realized this was not the calling for my life. I was in bondage to a toxic job and was miserable. I prayed to God to make a way out of this horrible situation.

In 2007 God gave me my initial purpose which was to empower women and work with youth across the nation. He placed a vision before me where I was dressed in white on stage at what appeared to be a conference for women and it was my conference!! This vision gave me enough confidence to begin walking in my purpose. I have had many challenges and joys of starting my company but I continue to press until God's vision is birth out in completion. Since that point He has transformed my company to a company that will help anyone walk into their destiny.

My friends this is just some of the highlights of my life. I do not care how your situation look, where you have been or what you are going through, if God turned my life around He will do the same for you!

Prepare for a fresh wind is blowing your way...
