A Little Bit
About Me
My Why
The Hustle
I didn’t always have a clear path to where I am now. At one point, I dropped out of college, took a one-way train to New York City, and dove headfirst into the fashion industry, hoping to pursue a career in styling. But when I got there, I quickly realized this wasn’t the direction I wanted to take. That moment of realization was a turning point, setting me on a path to discover my true gifts and talents.
Over the next few years, I began to build my brand online, using my experiences and passion to connect with others. At seven months pregnant, I wrote my first book, and that moment marked the beginning of my journey in turning my story into a platform for impact and income. My work soon caught the attention of major brands and organizations, and I found myself speaking on stages for companies like TD Bank and Google, sharing my journey and the lessons I’d learned along the way.
I built Tot Spot Media, my digital content and marketing agency, helping entrepreneurs turn their stories into brands that not only made an impact but generated real income. I was fortunate to be recognized by the White House for my contributions to gender equality at the United State of Women Summit in Washington, D.C., solidifying my role as a thought leader in the digital and entrepreneurial spaces.
This phase was all about chasing success, striving for recognition, and trying to create something meaningful. But even in the midst of the hustle, I knew there was more to my story.

The Shift
Surrendering the Grind
Over the next several years or so, I began to feel a stirring in my heart. I realized that true success wasn’t about the hustle or the external achievements—it was about aligning with God’s plan. This shift wasn’t easy. It meant stepping away from the constant grind and reevaluating my purpose. I had to surrender my desires, my control, and my ambitions to a greater purpose.
Then, in 2023, I became a living kidney donor to my cousin. This decision forced me into a season of stillness I never expected. The process isolated me from the very things I was trying so hard to hold on to—my business, my relentless pace, and my need to be in control. For a season (or two), I was forced to sit still, evaluate my heart, and listen to what God was truly calling me to do.
This time of isolation was uncomfortable but transformative. It allowed me to surrender in a way I had never done before and to embrace a new rhythm of life—one where I could move with purpose, not hustle.
Embracing My Assignment
Creating with Intention
As I continued my journey of surrender, life threw me a curveball I wasn’t prepared for. In May 2024, I suddenly lost my well-paying salaried job with no real explanation or heads-up. At first, I expected panic—worry about bills, finding a new job, and the uncertainty of it all. But surprisingly, the very next day, I found myself at the bookstore, not searching for business strategies or how to make money, but instead, looking for a book on prayer and how to grow closer to God.
This moment marked the beginning of another deep level of surrender. I was no longer concerned about the job search but was instead seeking guidance on how to communicate with God and strengthen my relationship with Him. Fast forward, and I began sharing this journey with close friends and on social media, which led to the birth of the weekly Zoom meetups now known as the Lost & Found Tribe. Around the same time, I launched the Closed for Maintenance podcast to continue sharing my story of faith, surrender, and finding purpose through God’s plan.
I found myself in a new space—one that wasn’t defined by external success but by aligning my work and my life with the assignments God had placed before me. Through content creation, community building, and the podcast, I embraced the calling to help others move from hustle to surrender and step into their own God-given assignments.

Embracing the Journey Ahead
As I continue to evolve, my mission is clear: to help others stop hustling, surrender their grind, and step into their God-given assignments. I’ve come to realize that purpose-driven living isn’t a destination, but a continuous journey. I’m committed to creating with Kingdom in mind, sharing my story, podcast, and community to inspire others to embrace their own calling.
Whether you encounter me in person or online, my goal is to empower you to live intentionally and create a life that reflects God’s purpose for you.
