I still can’t believe I’m even typing this…
I was accepted into the Goldman Sachs 100 Million Black Women in Business cohort in partnership with NYU Stern.
And if you know my story, you know this didn’t come easy.
In 2017, after being diagnosed with MS, my life shifted in ways I never imagined. I was in and out of the hospital constantly. There was a season where my vision was so bad it felt like someone had pulled a black curtain over my eyes. I couldn’t see. It was one of the scariest times of my life.
There were mornings I woke up and my legs were completely numb. I couldn’t stand. I couldn’t get out of bed. I couldn’t function.
I applied for disability three times.
Denied three times.
At the time, I didn’t understand it. My lawyer didn’t understand it. On paper, it looked like I qualified.
But now I know that was God intervening.
What felt like rejection was protection.
What felt like the end was preparation.
Little did I know, He was building resilience in me. He was strengthening my mind. He was preparing me for rooms I hadn’t even imagined yet.
Never count yourself out.
Even when your body feels like it’s failing you.
Even when people think you’re crazy for dreaming bigger.
Even when it looks like nothing is working in your favor.
God gives the vision to the visionary, not the spectators.
From hospital beds to business cohorts.
From darkness to destiny.
I am walking into this opportunity grateful, humbled, and ready to grow so I can better serve my clients, build legacy, and operate at a higher level.
If this touched you, please share it.
Not to celebrate me, but to reach the woman who feels defeated right now. The one who thinks she has to give up. The one who can’t see how things will ever get better.
Someone is fighting a battle nobody sees. Someone feels like their life is over.
And I need them to know — if God did it for me, He can do it for you.
This is my testimony.
And I’m just getting started.
