When God Flips the Script 📖➡️🎬
Three years ago, on this very day—August 1, 2022—I was getting ready to self-report to federal prison. I had said goodbye to my home, my family, and the life I once knew. I didn’t know what was waiting for me on the other side. I didn’t know how I would be treated, what I would face, or if I’d ever truly be able to come back from it.
What I did know was that this wasn’t the end of my story.
Watching Someone Play Me on BET+ American Gangster: Trap Queens Season 4 Was Surreal—Here’s What Stood Out Most
As the days built up to the release of American Gangster: Trap Queens Season 4 on BET+, people kept asking me the same question: “How do you feel?”
Honestly… it was a mix of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, curiosity—so much was running through my mind. But one thing I was especially curious about was: Who did they cast to play me?

From Prison TV Rooms to the BET Awards
Three years ago, I was just another woman in a federal prison, sitting in the TV room, eyes glued to the screen, watching the BET Awards. I remember feeling like I was a world away from the glitz, the music, the celebration—like it was all happening in another life, one I’d never reach.
But here I am today, three years out, walking into those very same awards—no longer just a spectator, but a living testament to how far vision and resilience can take you.
You’re not starting over. You’re starting from…

Navigating Weight Management: My Journey Post-Incarceration
My stress eating habits under high stress are a concern. I’m cautious about falling back into old patterns, and treatments like Ozempic seem like a helpful tool. But what my friend shared next worried me: the inmates receiving Ozempic aren't getting regular lab work to monitor their levels. Plus, how will they continue their treatment after release, since medications for weight loss are often not covered by insurance like Medicaid?

Rebirth of an Entrepreneur: My Journey from Incarceration to Business Success
I've shared a lot about my inner personal life, but for those who truly know me, you're aware that I'm a serial entrepreneur. The fire of entrepreneurship burns deep within me. I thrive on business development, especially during the exciting startup phase. In fact, I often describe myself as a "fire starter." My Instagram bio used to proudly declare, "I create ish." I’m a creator, I'm passionate about new beginnings, birthing businesses, developing concepts, crafting brands, and shaping business models. However, if there's one aspect I'm not particularly fond of, it's babysitting a business as it matures. It's like dealing with a child in their terrible twos – you're almost eager to pass them back to their parents. That's me when it comes to managing a business. I relish the initial stage and the thrill of creation.
