As a young girl, I knew that my mission in life was to help people be successful. My vision then was to become a social worker or lawyer. Little did I know that helping people was not limited to social services. As long as I was doing what I was purposed for in this world, God would do the rest. I've spent sixteen years helping people understand who they are by recognizing their strengths and gifts within them. I love to see people win. I love to empower them as God begins to show them who He created them to be. The goal always is and always will be to empower you to live with purpose on purpose.
My writing style is one that strives to empower individuals to live according to the purpose that God has for them. I am the owner of Empowered with Purpose LLC which serves as the catalyst to empower my community.
" My hope, is that you come to the realization that you have a purpose and God wants to use you for such a time as this."
