About me:

I have been compared to the biblical character of Ruth (I am like Esther, too! For Such a Time As This!). The name Ruth means "Friendship" or "Refreshment." Ruth was born in Moab, but relocated with her mother-in-law Naomi to Bethlehem in Judah after the death of her husband. She was the wife and widow of Mahlon; remarried Boaz by an extension of levirate marriage; gave birth to a son, Obed, who figuratively was called the son of Naomi; was an ancestor of David and Jesus Christ. She was originally a homemaker, later a maidservant of Boaz; and finally a homemaker again. She was best known for Insisting that her mother-in-law Naomi allow her to come to Bethlehem, in order that Naomi's people, the Israelites, could become Ruth's people, and Naomi's God could become Ruth's God. Ruth is the epitomy of loyalty and encouragement... just like me!!

At present, I am CEO of Paradise Legal Support & Secretarial Services (PLS3) providing specialized business support services. I chose "Paradise" based on Revelations 2:7. I am also Founder/Executive Director of the National Business Women Enterprise Network, a faith based, non-profit organization providing personal, spiritual, and professional development and support for innovative women who own or desire to establish their own business. Through networking, education, leadership, mentoring, and association with other like-minded individuals, NBWEN provides opportunities for members to maximize their potential during each phase of their entrepreneurial endeavors.

PERSONALITY-WISE, I am a beautiful person from the inside and out. I am hardworking, dedicated, a go-getter, and loyal... but don't get it twisted!! I can be tough enough when I need to be! Strong, black woman, but humble and meek when in the company of a Strong, black man... my Boaz.
