✨️ Strength in Weakness ✨️

Depending on the context of your situation, your instinct may be to push back against those offering help or even hide from those around you. But you can’t win the war against trauma on your own. The enemy is too strong and too clever. The only hope you have is to let humility lead you to healing. It seems contrary to reason, but strength is found in acknowledging our weaknesses and pain, not hiding or running from them. Only then once we confront it will we experience true healing, true wholeness, and true growth.

For everyone on their journey of healing, I pray for peace, stability, and strength for you. You are not alone, and please always know that we are stronger together than we will ever be apart.

Cheers to an edifying, fulfilling, and rewarding 2024! 🎉

I’m just a girl who grew up on the Westside of Detroit trying to serve God’s people. If you aren’t serving others, then what are you truly doing?

Oh, aight.

My Momma helped me remove that chip off my shoulder and told me that nobody can save me, but me. Nobody can heal me, but me.

Thank you for holding my hand as I save and heal myself. Thank you for being my source of strength as I rebuild the essence of my very being.

I am nothing without your love, compassion, and encouragement. I love you more than anything. ♥️

You deserve all things magical.

Pink Relief Bags 🎀

Mesh bags filled with menstrual hygiene products to inspire schools / businesses to begin offering free menstrual products.

Not having adequate access to menstrual hygiene products is far too common in the United States and across the globe . A national average survey (BMCWomen’s Health) shows that 1 in 4 students miss school because they don’t have the proper necessities or access to menstrual hygiene products. Which translates to “Period Poverty”. In every sense of responsibility, Period Poverty is a public health crisis.

I propose a law or ordinance regulating the distribution of menstrual hygiene products in all Detroit Public Schools to help curb the effort of Period Poverty. This will help to ensure that the students matriculating through the Detroit Public School system have access to necessary menstrual care products and to ensure that they have access to proper menstrual health education as well.

My only hope is that other cities, states, and jurisdictions join the effort! But until such law is put in place, I’ve created Pink Relief Bags! 🩷

Pink Relief Bags are mesh bags filled with menstrual hygiene products to fight the Period Poverty battle! Again, my hope is to inspire ALL school to begin offering free menstrual products to their students. There will also be a kicker card with a special QR Code in the bags that students will be able to scan and access online health information about their menstrual cycles.

I’ve chosen none other than my alma mater, the illustrious Lewis Cass Technical High School, as my first location!
