After passing the Bar exam to practice law, I never imagined being an author or speaker. I have always been driven to do work that is meaningful and impactful. As a staff attorney for a public interest law firm advocating for the poor, marginalized, and children, I was living my mission, at least I thought. My life was interrupted by disruption on a warm, balmy Summer morning in June. The firm’s executive director told me within three hours of walking into my office that the grant funding for my position was not renewed. I was overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. Prior to being unemployed, I was searching for a new opportunity; however, I didn’t have any job offers to consider or any interviews scheduled. I was upset with God for selfish reasons. I wanted to leave the firm on my terms. 

Despite all of my efforts, I could not find a job. I wrestled with God to hold on to my dreams while at the same time resisting his plan and purpose for my life. When I realized there was another plan for me outside of the legal profession, I accepted the invitation of God and surrendered to the process. Clueless and afraid, I stepped into the unknown. The journey felt like a roller coaster ride full of sharp curves, highs, lows, hills, and drops. In the chaos and uncertainty, I discovered my life’s purpose of being an inspirational speaker when I obeyed God’s instruction to start the Milwaukee Chapter of Courtside Ministry, a National Prayer Ministry.  A team of volunteers and I  prayed for people outside the same courthouse I went into to practice law. Only God could divinely orchestrate a disruptive moment that would lead me to discover his master plan for my life!

As a  speaker and digital content creator, I inspire and help audiences to embrace disruption with a four-step process I discovered in my season of disruption, find the overcomer within, and be resilient through any challenge. I enjoy reading about spiritual growth and personal development, and nutrition. Working out is my medicine, and community service makes my soul feel good. And I am the author of the Ebook, The Overcomer in You.
