Time flies! 2 years ago almost to the date, I had the opportunity to be featured and named as a Changemaker for In The Know by Yahoo to highlight my work and The Green Obsidian. It popped up on my newsfeed as a memory and I truly couldn't have asked for better timing to have a little motivation for the week ahead. This journey I'm on has been tedious, full of obstacles, and truly a test of faith. Imagine taking a leap without seeing the whole staircase in front of you, not knowing what will happen next. Scary right!? Trusting the process isn't always sunshine and rainbows like how they make it out in the movies and novels-- sometimes it's straight up FRIGHTENING to not know the next step or the ending. But having trust to know that however it happens, that everything will work out in your favor because you have faith in your talents and abilities is the real bag. Moral of the story -- My journey isn't over. And I am still curating the best comeback story I have ever written in this lifetime. Sending a little love and light to you wherever you need it most to bring a little motivation to your journey ahead. And if you're in this place of doubt or operating in fear, getting roadblocks or not sure if you're on the right path forward-- this is my reminder to you: You are right where you need to be, and the journey ahead is going to be so worth it. KEEP. GOING. #Motivation #Inspiration #Changemaker #Environmentaljustice #Environmentalconservation #STEM #Blackexcellence #Blackprofessions #BlackWomeninSTEM #BlackWomen #Representation #Womenowned #Blackbusiness #Wisconsin #Florida https://lnkd.in/eFNwjWrA?
