Grateful to have participated in the Health is Wealth Conference. Shoutout to the organizer, William Braylock, for creating space for important conversations around youth mental health.

It was a pleasure facilitating “Peace Over Perfection, Grace Over Grind” with Shy Williams, connecting with students from Alger Middle School and Ottawa Hills High School. Grateful to connect with them.

Pouring into the next generation is always worth it. 🙏🏾❤️

Another Leadhership Impact week with the girls.
💜💚
This week we talked about emotions, using the feelings wheel to help name what we feel and why it’s important to express and process emotions in healthy ways. We also talked about the danger of isolation and the importance of having trusted people and outlets like journaling.

You don’t have to hide what you feel to be strong.Caring for yourself is a form of love and liberation. 🥰

Still reflecting on Rest is Resistance: Reclaiming Wellness Through the Five Senses.

This gathering was intentionally held during Black History Month, a time to honor resilience while also acknowledging the real impact of chronic stress and heart disease in Black communities. Creating spaces for rest, reflection, and connection is part of the work.

Grateful to host my first community wellness event open to families and residents through my LLC, LeadHERWell Village, and nonprofit, LeadHERship Impact, in collaboration with the City of Grand Rapids.

Thank you to everyone who supported, attended, and believed in the vision. This is just the beginning.

“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” — Maya Angelou

Through LeadHERWell Village, I provide therapy and wellness services for women and mothers, including workshops, healing circles, group therapy, and restorative retreats.

Another LeadHERship Impact week at Alger Middle School

Last week we focused on Identity: Who am I?, exploring character traits, the power of our inner cheerleader vs. inner critic, and how confidence helps us make choices and try new things. We talked about how labels don’t define us, how we see ourselves matters most.

Roses, cupcakes, and powerful conversations filled the room.

Confidence begins with knowing who you are.

We now have 40+ girls signed up and are looking forward to another great week.
