Compounded with the fact that I'm a young person of color, I don't belong to the traditional social networks that provide access to funding and large scale marketing platforms.”
“I had to speak to myself out of my motivator, Scriptures, and remind myself that I can do All things through Christ that strengthens me.”
“I still went ahead because my vision was always to make Journify a mainstream platform. Wellness shouldn’t be a niche, so therefore wellness was also for me.”
"Doubt. The easy part is waking up every day and getting out of bed. The hard part, however, is knowing exactly what my purpose is those days. While I’m not fully cured from doubting myself, it took some time to overcome insecurity built up from being fired in 2014.”
“The work I had done in my 20s shaped the woman I became in my 30s. I vowed to never live in the land of "one day" - you know that futuristic time zone where you insist you'll do all the things you delay doing today.
