The Little That Was Still Waiting : When the Voiceless becomes the Voice

It takes alot of courage, tenacity and strength to not allow pain, trauma or grief to overconsume you and instead use it to serve others.

My youngest kid is 7 years old and oldest client is mid 40s and God has used someone broken like ME to inspire, empower and motivate several generations.

I am PROUD of the woman, friend, sister, aunt, niece, neighbor etc and social worker that I am.

❤️ I don’t only attend the graduations but I also help the kids stay focus on their grades by giving them practical strategies to study, organize their school work and holding them accountable when I see them slipping.

❤️ I don’t only attend the performances but I’m helping them prepare for the auditions and making sure they prioritize their self care.

❤️ I don’t only attend the sports events but I’m researching current top performing Athletes so that they know what’s possible but also the work ethic and sacrifice required to make it.

❤️ I don’t only attend the awards ceremonies but I also review the school database with the child to encourage them to finish any missing assignments and encourage them to ask for help when needed.

In other words, I’m not the person that’s just for the HIGH moments but I’m there for the LOW moments as well.

Tomorrow this series is ending with a beautiful announcement that concludes this amazing milestone in my life ❤️🥹🙌🙌 #encouraging
