😔Today, I’ve been remembering what Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Apparently, it’s not a smooth arc.🤷🏾‍♀️

President Barack Obama showed us what it means to lead with heart, humility, and a whole lot of brilliance. No throne needed—just purpose, principle, & a lot of swag.🤩

I would've been an AMAZING Academic Coach!🥺 Guess I'm either going to stay in Kindergarten a few more years, or quit teaching and just focus on my businesses. 💁🏾‍♀️ I'm just tired of spending my own money for copy paper and school supplies, smh. 😒 Either way, the journey is going to be phenomenal!💜

Wearing purple every day is more than just a color for me!
So many people take notice of me rocking purple all the time & give compliments on my color choice!💜 The truth is, purple isn't just my favorite color. It's a symbol of strength, survival, & solidarity for me, as I'm a DV survivor.✊🏽 #MyStory
