This is F O U R 🩵
Being your mama is my greatest title. I’m honored to be your first teacher, motivator, supporter, and best friend. Our path has been far from easy. God has ordered our steps and placed us in communities that support us and allow us to grow & thrive. It’s been an honor to witness your growth and development and I can’t wait to see where your light will take you next. My big boy, my heartbeat, the sweetest love I’ve ever known.
Thank you for making me a mom 💙 I got you 4ever 🤞🏾
Thank you to everyone from our village who celebrated with us this weekend!! We appreciate y’all!! 🩵🩵🩵
Ché, we’re barely getting to know each other… but what I’ve seen so far is someone who loves deeply and commits fully.
And when you move like that, the results speak for themselves.
A marathon finished.
Forward motion. 🏁
It’s official, I’m a marathoner! What an experience! @lamarathon was indeed a vibe! The way the city shuts down and showed up was very overwhelming to witness. The course was challenging, the heat was brutal, but the love was real!
Huge thank you to the pacers!! I was pacing with 5:45 group with @buyorsellwithbel for the first half. Then caught up with 5:30 group and rocked out till mile 17. The sweltering heat got the best of me and I almost lost the plot. Made it to my personal pacer @klashae422 and she got me right and brought me home! Shout to the women from @keepitrunhundred & @movementrunners who also poured into me while I was crashing out. Cause it got real!
WE ALL WE GOT! Best way to spend #internationalwomensday IMO 💖💐

LAM I’m ready for ya! I’ve trained, I’ve prepared, I’ve nurtured my body and mind in ways I didn’t know existed. I’m honored to have won a bib from my run club. It was indeed Devine timing on this one. I can’t say thank you enough to @comptonrunclub ! We’re locked in for life. Thank you to everyone who has poured into me on this journey. We’re here. The time is now!
26 in ‘26, here we go 💪🏾🫡 #lamarathon #Compton #runningmama
When I first started running I would skip run club on the days I had Axel. Out of fear and unaware of my strength, I didn’t want anything to happen. Then I’d see other moms running with DOUBLE strollers (@runwithkingkg__ & @thebrightfultherapist 💖) and I’d be like okay, we can do this. I started to build more strength and courage to run with my son. I let go of the fears and concerns about having “the right stroller” and just went with it. That was a year ago and yesterday I did my last LAM extra long run with him. I pushed him for 18 miles through LA streets, hills, and awful sidewalks. It was a beautiful journey that he slept mostly through, but it was a testament of my growth.
Never did I imagine I’d be running through LA pushing him but God. So grateful for my community for supporting and believing in us 🫶🏾 @comptonrunclub Shoutout to everyone who was out there yesterday. You could feel the buzz of excitement!
3 weeks to go 💙

nobody talks about this enough.. so here we go.
financial abuse is real.. and they can use it to hold you back, disguise or hide something deeper than what you can see on the surface, and take advantage of you in so many ways.

have you ever experienced financial abuse?
character is how you act when it’s chaotic 🎯
integrity is key. love & community are mandatory! Keep going, keep growing, keep sharing, keep healing 🤞🏾💫
More parts to my story, this is a serious manipulation tactic that was heavily abused. I truly thank God for wisdom and strength to be able to share this.

What a season it’s been. A season of reflection, healing, building community, writing, and listening. God has been tugging at my heart to share my story for some time. And I’ve learned how powerful obedience is. I’ve been writing just about all my life, but I got really serious about a year ago. It’s been therapeutic to say the least. This is just the beginning but I’m grateful to be starting!
