💎✍🏾 “Not your average girl from the videos…”…the watch on my wrist stopped ticking years ago, but every time I step onto a stage, I realize its purpose never did. ➡️🩵Some people see a microphone.I see another opportunity to honor the woman who first believed in me, my mom.On my left wrist is my mama’s watch. It no longer keeps time, yet somehow it still keeps me grounded. Every poem, every stage, every moment that asks for courage reminds me that while the watch stopped… her love never did.I walk into most rooms solo to present at shows.So if you ever see me behind a microphone, know this…💎🩵✍🏾You’re witnessing faith.You’re witnessing grief transformed into purpose.You’re witnessing God’s grace carrying someone who often shows up alone..but is never truly alone.I’ve spent years showing up to coach, build my nonprofit, write, perform, and chase purpose without waiting for perfect circumstances or a crowd to walk in with me. Every stage reminds me that obedience doesn’t require an audience..it requires willingness.I want to be a faithful steward of every gift God has entrusted to me.If one poem helps someone breathe a little easier…If one story reminds someone they’re not alone…If one performance gives another person the courage to use their own voice…Then every step toward the microphone is worth it.💎🩵✍🏾Thank you, Write About Now, for creating a space where voices from every background are welcomed, valued, and heard. @wanpoetry Mama… your watch may have stopped keeping time, but it never stopped keeping me. ❤️💎🩵✍🏾Poetry • Spoken Word • Purpose • Dallas • DFW • Texas Artist • Black Creative • Writer • Live Performance • Courage#WriteAboutNow #SpokenWordPoetry #DallasPoetry #DFWArtists #PoetryCommunity💎🩵✍🏾Every journey begins with one step… even the ones no one applauds.This walk wasn’t just toward a microphone.It was toward another opportunity to choose courage over comfort.There are moments when you wonder if anyone notices the consistency, the preparation, or the quiet faith it takes to keep showing up.Then you remember…God notices.So I keep walking.Not because every stage is guaranteed.N by @excellence_rising

🧐 As coaches, we’ve all had those moments when it feels like our athletes aren’t paying attention.They’re laughing.They’re talking.Sometimes they’re even doing cartwheels on the baseline. 🤸🏽‍♀️😂Then, out of nowhere, we’re reminded of something powerful.They’re watching more than we realize. 🧠🏀They notice how we carry ourselves.They notice our attitude.They notice our effort.They notice how we respond to challenges.Even when it doesn’t look like they’re listening, they’re often absorbing the habits, body language, and energy we consistently demonstrate.💎 That’s why the standard we set matters. The example we live matters. The energy we bring matters.At Excellence Rising, we believe the goal is bigger than developing skilled athletes. It’s helping young people Excel Beyond Expectations in every aspect of life. 💙✨What we consistently model today can become what they naturally reflect tomorrow. by @excellence_rising

🧠↪️What are we doing with what we’ve been given?🎤 “Shout out to my ancestors…” #juneteenth 🌍This wasn’t just the opening of a poem, it was a reminder…🌍Every generation leaves us something. Wisdom. Sacrifice. Opportunity.The question is: What will we leave behind?Are we keeping in mind words, thoughts, memories we leave behind?✨ Thank you the Oak Cliff Empowerment Center @oakcliffempowermentcenter for inviting me to share my heart through spoken word at the Muslims for Oak Cliff gathering. Moments like these remind me that art has the power to connect people across different backgrounds through purpose.💫 An honor to have an opportunity to speak and celebrate Juneteenth’s purpose and impact.👇 Keep swiping…💭 One thing Victor, the director, shared has stayed with me..He spoke about how Malcolm X spent seven years in prison, yet within 10 months of his release, his message reached people around the world.That challenged me. @oakcliffempowermentcenter 📚 Knowledge isn’t meant to sit on a shelf.🎁 Gifts aren’t meant to stay hidden.❤️ Purpose isn’t meant to stop with us.If we’ve been blessed with wisdom, experience, or a skill that can help someone else…what are we doing with it?That’s the kind of question I want my life..and my poetry..to keep asking.🌱 This is why I write.Not because I have life figured out.But because I believe stories heal.Truth challenges.Poetry connects.And intentional living changes communities.Watching the Oak Cliff Empowerment Center pour into people..inside and outside the Muslim community, was inspiring. Their willingness to serve reminded me of what I strive for through Excellence Rising: helping people become their best so they can help someone else rise too.💙 Excellence isn’t about status.✨ It’s about service.🤝 It’s about impact.🌍 It’s about leaving people better than you found them.:What gift or lesson are you choosing to share with the world?🎤 More moments from this performance to share.#DallasPoet #SpokenWord #SpokenWordPoetry #DallasCreative #DallasArtist by @excellence_rising

🏀 The greatest assist a child receives isn’t always on the court. 🫡🏀 “My dad’s my hero… because he’s someone I look up to every day.” 💪Father’s Day may have passed, but true fatherhood goes far beyond one day on the calendar.To the dads, father figures, mentors, coaches, and role models who continue to show up, sacrifice, encourage, teach, and believe in our youth…Thank you. 🙏Every pass.Every ride to practice.Every lesson.Every conversation.Every moment spent investing in the next generation matters.The strongest heroes aren’t always on a screen.Many are standing on the sidelines, in the driveway, at the gym, or right beside their children helping them rise. 🏀💪Thank you for your continued impact, leadership, and everyday heroism. 🌎💎Tag a father or mentor who helped shape your journey. 👇💎 Excellence Rising🏀 Building Student-Athletes🌎 Developing Future Leaders💪 Excelling Beyond Expectations#FathersDay #YouthDevelopment #BasketballLife #MentorshipMatters #ExcellenceRising 🩵 by @excellence_rising

💎 WHAT IF TRAINING YOUR MIND AND BODY AT THE SAME TIME IS THE REAL ADVANTAGE? 🌍At Excellence Rising Academic & Athletic Development, we don’t separate academics from athletics—we develop both to build complete leaders.We assist students to excel beyond expectations through a structured system of academic tutoring, virtual learning support, reading comprehension development, and basketball skill training designed to improve focus, discipline, and performance in school, sports, and life.In this session, students are actively engaged in learning—breaking down reading passages, analyzing meaning in context, and strengthening critical thinking skills used for academic success and real-world understanding. At the same time, our basketball development training builds coordination, confidence, and leadership through discipline and repetition.This is not just tutoring. This is not just training.This is leadership development through education and athletics. 💎Led by Coach Anita J, alongside Coach @simsalabimb , Excellence Rising is expanding across Plano and Dallas, Texas, with a growing vision to reach students nationally. 🌍Excellence Rising Academic & Athletic Development 💎🌍Building student athletes. Building thinkers. Building leaders.⸻#AcademicTutoring #StudentAthletes #BasketballTraining #DallasTutoring #PlanoTexas by @excellence_rising
