Be Limitless

Just viewed the Christmas Day service live online from my from my home church in GA and the message was... Don't be afraid of who you are, Embrace how God made you, and live without limits because like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer you may be teased and talked about, but then you are called to save the day doing something that only you can do, it its you that will go down in history. This message hit home with me because I am unique among those that know me. I have mild Cere bral Palsy, I use assistive technology to walk and get around,I AM BLACK, well traveled, a Latin honor graduate of the  ‪#‎ 1HBCU‬  Spelman College, A Teach for America Alum, a first Generation College student, and now I am a law student. I embrace all the aspects of who I am. I am God's child who is blessed and highly favored. There have been many people who do not think I should be pursuing the path that I am on. They are afraid that it is too much for me to handle, or that I won't ever make it to th

The Complexities of Life and the Things its Taught me... thus far

     So, I am living the dream... or so I thought. Being in law school is one of the hardest endeavors I have undertaken. I hope in the end it is all worth it. I went to an Academic Retreat for the Black Law Student Association subregion associated with my school, and it got me to thinking--I am not prepared for this at all. My whole life I have been preparing for this, but my whole life didn't prepare me. The attributes of who I am have, from what I understand, put me at a disadvantage. I am African American, a woman, and in a wheelchair.      The good thing is that the demographic at my law school is majority women. Also, there are so many diverse students and students of color. Even though we make up a majority, we are still a minority. For me as a first generation college student, I just do not have the  connections. I have decided not to complain though. I have to take a step back and realize what school is for. If everyone came to school knowing everything, then school wo

Started my journey

So I have started my law school studies, and the journey to get here was no joke. I didn't end up going to school in the city that I had planned, but God had his own plans. Being a 1L is tough, but I am trusting the process because I know what is on the other side if I remain steadfast and prayerful. I'll keep you updated.

Watch where you are going

Hello Again, My last few videos were posted to allow my viewers to be entertained through great expression. I did this    because I needed inspiration. My mind has been so full lately.The past few months have not been the easiest, but they have also not been the hardest. The current chapter of my life will be ending in about 22 days. I have already completed my two years with TFA, and now I am trying to make it to law school. This road to greatness is filled  with challenges. Then again I am reminded again of the question posed by a dear friend: Where can I see God in all of this? The answer is simple really now that I think about it. Frederick Douglass said it best in his Emancipation of  West India Speech:       " The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silenc

Dang

When it rains it Pours

As some of you may or may not know in April 2015 I was in a very serious car acciendent that has left my life in shambles. I have lost so many things that I worked hard to earn. For example, My brand new handicap modified truck, 5 pay checks and the chance to recieve summer optional pay. which is a lost of almost $10,000 that I was going to use to move, and  It is because I do not have a car that I do not have a way to secure a summer job to try and recover lost funds. My roommates have moved, so I have no transportation.  I have also lost my lawyer and insurance benefits because of the high front end cost of legal fees. I had a plan that was flushed down the toilet. I believe that there is God with a son named Jesus that died for my sins, and he promised to always care and protect me. I know that I will make it to law school. The only thing standing in my way is securing housing in Boston. Im selling mostly everything that I own but that wont be enough. I am raising money to cover rel

God works in mysterious ways

He is exceedingly and abundantly amazing. He is the Alpha and the Omega. My only beginning and my only and. His Word says "good things come to those who love the Lord.  He is our Savior Jesus Christ sent to Earth by God to save us from sin. I shall not worry. Last night I was speaking to a Muslim friend of mine from college and I expressed to her my concerns about being able to grow in my faith the way she has grown since we graduated and she's been married. She told me that all praise goes to God. She refused any of the credit. All she did was ask him to help her and he did. He also sent someone who would be able to help her for life, her husband. I know that I'm still a work in progress but I'm trying. I know that trying isn't good enough though. I'll have to do the things I need to do to reap the benefits I desire. In the intermission between one phase of life and the next there's always chaos. People sometimes lose their way to their blessings because t
