I had someone close to me ask me “why do you always talk about how happy and blessed you are? Seems like you’re only doing it to make yourself believe your life is actually better than what it is…”

I’m just a girl from Northeast Philly who dared to believe in herself. No, I’m not a millionaire — not even a thousandaire. I don’t have a fancy car (or any car at all), but I make it work.
