Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
Growing up without my father in my life was challenging because I needed a father figure around to teach me things that would protect me from useless boys/mens!
2.
I would say around middle school age, I was being touched on by someone that was suppose to protect me and treat me like their daughter and that killed me on the inside!
3.
2007, I lost my step brother in a car wreck
4.
2013, being charged with embezzlement right before going off to college but the charges was dropped to a misdemeanor because I had never been in trouble before
5.
2014 I lost one of the most important women in my life. My grandmother had a massive stroke sitting next to me and my life haven’t been the same since then! I felt myself falling into depression!
6.
Finding myself again after my grandma passed away was a struggle for me because I didn’t know where I wanted to be in life!
7.
I’ve always wanted to have my own clothing store and now that’s my main focus as I go through college
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
I’ve been told that I wasn’t nothing or that I couldn’t do something! I turned all that negative talk into positivity and I got me a decent job so that I could continue to work towards my dreams of becoming a SUCCESSFUL Boutique Owner!
How I responded:
Surround yourself with positive people. The biggest haters are the ones that’s close to you and I had to find that out the hard way!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
2013 I was charged with embezzlement but because I’ve never been in trouble my charges was dropped to a misdemeanor so I struggled getting a job or anything! Emotional Abuse: I was touched on by someone who supposed to protect me!
