Hi my loves, I am here today asking for your support to keep the " I Am Worthy" - Rich Girl Palate (RGP) Movement going. Let me explain how it all began. The last two years I have been going through a bad divorce, and I have fallen on hard times financially. As a result, I was homeless, broke, and lost my kids. In the beginning, I resorted back to old money making behaviors that put me at risk. I knew deep down inside that I didn't want to do it anymore. I had worked so hard to clear my record, but I was lost. I felt like a failure. Mentally I was depressed and suicidal. Here I was with not one, but two master degrees and no career. I had truly lost myself. I began slowly but surely lifting myself back up. Fast forward to today. I have my sanity, my kids, a job, and an apartment. Everyday I put one foot in front of the other, and keep pushing!

How did you come up with the name Rich Girl Palate?

One day I went to lunch at this awesome local Thai restaurant with one of my close girlfriends. As we were leaving the statement "Rich Girl Palate, Poor Girl Pockets" came to mind. I laughed, thinking to myself, that is definitely me. I have a motto even though I was having hard times, I didn’t have to settle, just find an inexpensive way to enjoy the things I love. That night, I begin brain storming how to bring this idea to life. I purchased the domain name and started designing the website (I've revamped 3 times already..lol). Initially, I wanted to show people how to eat gourmet on a budget. One year later, this idea has now come to life and continues to evolve. My vision for Rich Girl Palate is a community of women empowering women, no matter where they are in life.

What is RGP doing now?

To date, we have the website up and running. There are still a variety of categories that we would like to add, but for now we are concentrating on self-empowerment. I have created social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest to begin building the brand and audience. October 15, I started a free Instagram live 30-day meditation challenge which includes a free calendar and journal for participants. I have received really good feedback about this movement from followers on Instagram. January 2018, we plan on doing another empowering challenge. We just want to be proactive and ensure that there isn't anything stopping us from making this happen.

What's the future hold for RGP?

We are creating tons of freebies, webinars/master classes, ebooks, and events. Rich Girl Palate is a global community supporting and encouraging one another.
