Her newest book, Reconnecting My Brokenness: Tips to Renew Your Mind 180-Day “Amour” Devotional, dives deep into the ups and downs of love and how renewing your mind can transform the way you see yourself along with the true power of devotion. Through her work, the founder and CEO of nonprofit organization C.H.A.N.G.E. aims to encourage and help people to succeed in developing a successful life for themselves.
Have you been passionate about writing since a young age?
I sometimes think back on the desires I had as a child. There are a lot of times where children will have the desire to go into one profession but by the time they grow older, their mindset will shift into something else. This may be hard to believe, but I am actually pursuing everything I had the desire to do as a child. Being a writer was one of my strongest desires since a young age. I love writing books to inspire others.
Your line of work is centered around encouraging others. What motivated you to get into this line of work?
I feel like my overall goal in life is to help others succeed and grow holistically. Being the needed motivation and encouragement that others need can potentially aid them in being something great encourage me, so I wanted to do the same for others.
