My story

I spent a long time being everybody's everything.

And then one day I made a decision that changed everything. I chose me. Not perfectly. Not without guilt. But I chose me anyway.

I am a South Side Chicago woman who has since set foot in seventeen countries, because I stopped waiting for permission to live. I am a mother. I am a survivor. I am proof that it is never too late to come home to yourself.

Whatever you call it, God, Spirit, the Divine, that quiet voice has been whispering the same thing for years. Come back to yourself.
