“Thoughts and prayers” don’t impress me—especially if they don’t lead to action. Faith isn’t just words. In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (55.8% of the global population), prayer should push us to show up, support, and advocate.

For my 29th birthday (😁): Forget the wrapping paper. Forget the candles. Forget off-key singing. I’m not just blowing out candles… I’m lighting the fire some have been waiting for. 🔥

Someone asked if I was wearing red heels. Why? Today is 9/11.
2001: USA united in courage & sacrifice.
-> Volunteerism soared.
2002: Medical Reserve Corps launched under HHS.
-> Later, I signed up.
2025: USA is divided.
-> Volunteerism is low.
Lesson: We’re stronger together.

Saturday Night: I’m excited to share… I’ve been booked for motivational speaking engagements in coastal #Alabama and #Mississippi. If you owe me a #coffee, I’m coming to collect… with interest. And yes, I’ve been known to take down an entire pot in one sitting.

If this is more appealing than posts about #leadership, #advocacy, #volunteerism, or #family, you may be missing the posts that reflect what actually matters in life and prioritizing #image over #impact. Don't be that person.

The Stalker Association of Sweet Home Alabama is clearly rolling out the red carpet. 12 noon update: Three men have jumped into my DMs on different sites, insisting we “grab coffee” the moment I cross the Alabama state line. Posting this pic of me double-fisting Dunkin’ just to keep them guessing.

My late aunt Shirley sparked my #love for #cosmetics, classic #fashion, and red nails. She mentored me and did her best to keep me out of trouble, a sometimes cheeky and witty child. I learned from the master. She made an impact for many across Alabama.

Women of all ages call me their role model. I’ve loved this home. The damp weather doesn’t do it justice. Nothing stops midnight sprints from the 3rd floor to the basement, full “dog-with-the-zoomies” mode, Kiki on my heels.

Taking a mid-sized #nonprofit leadership team to lunch in 2025 isn’t a budget-buster: everyone just orders off the value menu. Another #leadership challenge: convincing them to get dessert. Who skips ice cream in the summer, unless you’re lactose intolerant?
