What Does Your Typical Day Look Like?

My typical days look hectic, ha! I feel like it's always a struggle to get into a good routine; which I strive on, by the way. I like to wake up slow, read my devotionals, get some alone time in. I watch my cousin's daughter at my house during the week and work on my managing social media accounts in between.

Who Are Some Women That Inspire You? (Globally and Locally) My mom inspires me, first and foremost. She's been through so much. She was a young single mother of three children and has flourished. She's been a business owner for over 13 years and continues to inspire me always. I tend to look up to local women more than anyone because I feel like, if they can do these things, so can I. Not in a "I'm as good as them type of way"; more like, this is so amazing this woman that's like me can achieve this. That's very inspiring to me.

My whole childhood has shaped me. That's very vague but it was a rough time and I wouldn't be who I am today if I didn't grow up the way I did.
