Ya girl is on Essence !!!!!!

Whoa, I'm just humbled and speechless :) This recognition and opportunity means a lot to me because:



I read Essence everyday, I am a subscriber to Essence magazine, I get to inspire others from my own experiences on Essence!

The thing is...I didn't even know I was on

Essence.com

until my friend texted me as I was coming home from work,

"Hey Girl! Want to let you know I saw you on Essence...looking good :-) I know you are sooooooo excited!!! Congrats...awesome!"

I had to call her to verify!

See, I do read Essence everyday...but today just happened to be the day I didn't do my daily reading. But I'm glad she told me!
