I seek it out. I surround myself with it, and I choose to be a connector of it. I am most comfortable in places where goodness begets opportunity, and I drown in places where community and connections are stifled. I like to soar with eagles that allow me to glide in their wind, and them in mine.”   Her Superpower: Creating comfortable soft spaces and places. Because most people do see me from the Onset of like oh, she's hard work is about her business. But I'm actually like, I'm a blanket.  and I like to wrap people in that blanket and then say, get comfortable. So that's what I've learned about myself is, I'm a nurturer in that way. ABOUT LIVD STORIES  LivD Stories is a space for Black & Brown women because separation is navigated alone.  Even with our village around, the real and hard work that gets us back to happiness is done with self.  And so… LivD stories exists so when women like us are navigating this challenging time – which usually happens in the midnight hour, in the bathroom at work, in the middle of 7th Avenue & 27th in NYC in tears (real story!) there is a community of like-minded women to get us through it without judgment.   Open & Honest, we aren’t here to tell you want to do – we aren’t experts or coaches (we plan to invite them to share resources and advice of course!)  This space is meant to hold community – because truly many just want to feel like they aren’t alone.   I’m so thankful that you chose to join our community and cheers to Living!
