Using the power of art and creativity to promote healing and encourage positive mental health
Young, afraid, ashamed, and lonely I found myself being rushed to the crisis center for attempted suicide. I was told I tied shoestrings together and tried to hang myself in my bedroom. My mother found her oldest daughter minutes away from SUICIDE.
Nineteen years later… I’m CONFIDENT, STRONG, MOTIVATED, LOVED, HAPPY, and ALIVE!
At the age of 17, I found myself in a lonely dark place in life. After being molested, I withdrew myself from high school and moved in with my mother in another city. The days after the molestation felt like months. I had no friends and my family relationships were broken. I felt afraid, ashamed, and lonely. One day I was home alone with no one to talk too. I went to a neighbor's house to borrow his bible. I remember lying on the floor reading the bible and from there everything turned into a snapshot of my life. Little did I know that was the day I almost committed suicide.
After leaving the DeKalb County Crisis center, my mother did all she could to help me. After weeks of counseling and several prescriptions I ran away from home. I went to 3 different schools in 2 months. Once the schools realized I was a runaway, they terminated my enrollment. I never thought I would go from being in the gifted class to a high school dropout.
Several months later I received a call from a cousin that would change my life forever.
October 2004 my cousin and I moved to Memphis, Tennessee to attend Memphis Job Corps.
Memphis Job Corps is where I found God who began to introduce me to MYSELF. I learned to forgive and love myself. I learned to trust in others and build healthy relationships. Most importantly I learned to LIVE.
Fast forward almost 19 years and I’m still here LIVING. I’m a mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. I’m CONFIDENT, STRONG, MOTIVATED, LOVED, HAPPY, and ALIVE.

the art of creativity
Often times, life seems to throw a curve ball in our plans. When this happens,
it can cause anxiety, stress, depression, and other emotional affects. I've created a brand & lifestyle that uses creativity to transform the negative emotions into positive thoughts & feelings.
Ever felt alone in a room full of people?
Ever questioned if life was worth living?
Ever felt empty inside but hid it with a smile?
Ever got tired of fighting and considered suicide?
You Are Not Alone.
