How I became...

So i know i promised myself that i would take out time for myself at least once a week, but as my life allows it, I've been swamped, with many more tasks, family life, work life, and my constant social life. But now that we are back here together i might as well explain how i became me.

4 years ago almost to this day, i met the person who changed my everything around, Rich. We met and we fell hard, being wrapped up in his mind and heart i learned the value of me, where i stand in life, and how my outlook should remain. He showed me that no matter what i been through that i was still a queen, a woman so powerful, who couldn't recognize her own strengths. Now i have always had a mind for business, even when i didn't know it. I can recount to the days before i was a teen, where i would write extensive papers about conferences that i wanted to produce, my brain held many of ideas to make life better for youth. Many times i would show the adults a neatly polished breakdown of my ideas, and was told, your just a kid you don't even know what your talking about. So i put it to the side, and focused on the unnecessary things.

As the years have gone by, my passion grew weak and my curiosity grew strong. I went with the wind i wanted to be the silliest things from a guitarist to a forensic scientist. But the paths i actually walked on, definitely were meant to be taken from a teacher, to youth program coordinator, and now they have led me to this place. Here...

In 2007 right after i be came pregnant with my daughter, i decided i wanted to do event planning, dreaming about our wedding day and planning a lavish baby shower i was convinced this is what would make me happy. After her birth faced a lot of trials battling post partum depression (which im still dealing with), heart failure (ive had to undergo heart procedures & its still not better), and troubles in my relationship, things had to change.

We started working through our problems, because we've learned life is too precious to waste, and at the end of the day all we had was each other, no matter how much we hated each other. So he brought me along his journey of putting out his 2nd album completely independently, and i naturally gravitated towards event planning. As i became more familiar with it, i learned about sponsorships for our events, where we would be paid to market peoples product. Two weeks out from our first event we received a sponsorship, from a company, who gave us financial and in kind givings that would help with the event. I was amazed of the reaction we received from the audience when we played the commercial branded with the product. I was amazed, and decided that i wanted to find a way to get paid to display a product. This is how i found out about marketing and public relations. Studying all of the things around me in the music industry, everything started to fall into place. Rich is in the public eye and in order for a brand to be heard they needed someone who is admired by many (celebrity) to endorse the product. To make this ever so long story short, i found my niche, and it still has me hooked. I am focused in a fast paced life. My goals are clear, and my heart is honest. As long as i want it i will forever chase it. Rich, is my better half, and without our journey i think i would still be lost and confused, trying to figure my way.
