Happy New Year! Welcome to HERception.

To say that 2018 was a roller coaster would be an understatement. I can honestly say that 2018 was definitely my show and prove year. At the top of the year not only did I begin a new role professionally, I was also faced with the trauma of losing three of my family’s pillars in the most tragic and horrific ways.  From there I had to step up. I had to show that I was capable of exceeding the expectations set for me. In proving that I was able to step up for my family I was also given tools to show professionally that I was not only capable, but a valuable member of our team. While proving that I was both capable and valuable, I was able to reassure myself that I was worthy of the blessings and opportunities that were coming my way, in spite of. Having these characteristics made me ultimately enough for the opportunities God and the universe has in store for me.

The only particular goal I have for my blog is to empower women to be uniquely themselves. For me that means wearing what makes me comfortable. Wearing black and mixing textures and patterns. To say that I am my ancestors wildest dreams wouldn’t be accurate at all. I am my Nana’s wildest dream. My Nana, who was tragically killed early this year wanted nothing but for me to live the life I wanted to and the life that I thought was pleasing to God. I emulate her in my interactions with people. She was the type of matriarch who’s legacy won’t be able to be duplicated. The obstacles I went through this year are what’s pushing me to still accomplish my goals no matter how long they take! Happy New Year and welcome to HERception!
