Surrounding Myself with Success


Tomorrow I am going to help the Indianapolis Black Expo Pageant Queens get ready for their upcoming big day. I feel like it is always nice to have a person that can lead you in the right direction when you do not see a direct path. Sometimes it is the experience in itself that molds the person to be who they are today. As Miss Black Indiana USA 2011 you meet people everyday that are either with you and hope for your everlasting success or those that are with you for their own success. 

This is what makes a person great and lives up to their fullest potential. I have learn on a daily basis the people that are truly behind me every step of the way and those that are only in my life to benefit themselves in some way. It is my goal to be myself through any situation. With all I have been through I am blessed to be where I am today and I am elated of each positive influence that I have come in contact with. 

Now I am still revolving myself around successful people that believe in me but people that have maturated into healthy living and professional relationships. These are the kind of people that influence my life and that portray positivity. Once I feel that the relationship is not worthy or it will never expand I Let Go and Let God. 

Words of Encouragement Surround yourself with people that are uplifting and successful, this will only motivate and inspire you to do the same. 

Best Wishes,

Living on a Promise


To live on a promise is a way to know where to go, when and how to seek this path. This is a great outlook on life. I have been wondering why I have experienced some of the things I have experienced. But I know that to get to where I have to go I will not take a direct path, I have to take the necessary twists and turns to be able to reach my destination. 

The reason that this is on my mind this week is because I was looking for those I trust to support me in my journey through life and as Miss Black Indiana USA 2011. Sometimes when friends, family or associates leave our life it is our growing process and it helps us get to the next level. This is why it is important to live on a promise and to trust God.

I move and travel all over the world. I have visited Italy, Spain, France and Germany as well as visited the major cities in the United States. This is one of the journeys that have guided me to where I am now. The important lesson on this topic is that no matter where you go, you cannot let anyone block you from your blessings. People that you may love care about or just met may be the person that could block you from your path of life.

I learned that it is necessary to take out the people or things that are blockage in your life. As long as you believe and have faith in all you do the promises of life will come. It may take some trials and tribulations but you will get there with all the lessons that you needed to learn in life.

Be willing to learn, experience and grow.

"Race for the Cure" Breast Cancer Awareness 2011


The 20th Anniversary for Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is coming up this week on April 16, 2011. It is a great event that I want to make sure to show my support for. Breast Cancer affects my family a great deal because my grandmother whom is the rock of our family has lived with it and just recently was able to say that she is Cancer free. My grandmother never knew that this could have happened to her but it has changed her life and mine.

Breast Cancer is a malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the breast. It comes with age, 90% of the cases are from genetic abnormalities that develop overtime. Breast Cancer affects 1 in 8 women in America and next to Lung Cancer it is a leading cause of a cancerous death. 

Let us all come together to support, raise awareness, share stories and help us find a cure. Indianapolis Be A Part of Something Life Changing.

“Race for the Cure” 5K Walk/Run April 16, 2011 at IUPUI Library 700 block West New York Street. Registration begins at 7:00am and the walk starts at 9:00am after the ceremony and the parade. I wanted to make sure that we have all the support we need Indiana, I support and my heart goes out to all of the survivors and families that have been affected by Breast Cancer.

See you Saturday!    
I appreciate all the support,
