Came far in this life of obstacles. What a blessed weekend 👏🏾😤 God will do it for you. Jusst stay the course, keep coming, and no excuses, get it done ✅ 🦍

Those Jacuzzi workouts and sticking to my goal was pivotal. I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself. However, I’ll say this…

IM BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK 😤👏🏾

And I remember everything you was saying 😘

Let’s get gritty

All praise to the highest power 🙌🏾👏🏾🖤 by @dreaded_wanski

Last year, @ssofashion gave me my first ever casting call & callback in the modeling industry. This year, I came back for my second consecutive year, and I came to perform! 🔥💯

Different year. Different experience. SAME HUNGER 👏🏾

I stepped into that room knowing what I bring to the table. No handouts, no shortcuts, no waiting for somebody to validate my talent. I put in the work, showed up, and delivered exactly what I came to deliver.

SSOF opened the door last year. This year, I walked back through it with something to prove to myself—and made sure my presence was felt.

Year one was the introduction. Year two was the statement ✊🏾

Augie Alumni Game 🏀

Couldn’t ask for a better time. You can’t keep me down for long. But now that I’m back moving, grooving and sliding it just hit different.

New body, new mentality but the same ole dawg 🐶! I may not move as quick and crafty as before, however so, ima get to it.

Side note: The young bulls finally pulled off a win vs the Vets. (I told em they had to wait until we got in our 30s to pull that one off). And we shoulda got the Dub. All good tho. Much needed and exciting time. If you haven’t been apart of winning, winning often, and making an impact then it’ll be hard for you to understand this.

However, although we loss, it was successfully to me. Got a lot of movements, characteristics, and motion back. Most importantly, i got my mental back. Still a ways to go but WE HERE NOW 😤😎

Let’s get active

Miss Ma’am, take a 💺‼️✔️ by @dreaded_wanski

Our God is OUR GOD!

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor siteth in the seat of the scornful, BUT his delight is in the law of the lord, and in his law doeth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the river of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season, his leaf also shall not wither and WHATSOEVER he doeth SHALL PROSPER”‼️👏🏾🙏🏾

I take no credit for this journey, and giveth all praise to MY GOD 💪🏾

I’m not only blessed for how far I’ve come, but God has covered me in a way that a person can simply overlook.

I haven’t experienced a Multiple Sclerosis flare up since I’ve began this journey. MARCH 2025- which marks the longest of the 5 year span that I’ve went without. Overwhelmingly blessed for good health thru these times. 🤞🏾👏🏾🔥 I always bless him for that. He just had to give me a sign of who I was, so I can get back to not just me. But HE and I together 🖤 by @dreaded_wanski

Lost it all, I ain’t gone sleep til I’m up on my 👣 ‼️
