When I think about the trail my African American ancestors paved for me, I am filled with gratitude. I often wake up with a deep appreciation and admiration for their strength, courage and resilience in the face of immense adversity. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today.

This week I felt so blessed to be recognized by the National Hook-Up of Black Women (NHBW). This is an organization that serves so many women and children throughout the country through scholarships and programs that address teen pressure, domestic violence and so much more. I am so honored that they value the work I do and the people I serve. But, I was even more honored to be able to celebrate this with my family- especially my children.
