Things I say about myself. I’m thankful and grateful. Daily humbled. Thankful for the path that God has plotted out for me. I’m proud to be a Christian, but I’m not shoving my ideas down your throat, bro. My love language is helping you win.

I’m a leader, a reader, and a student of life. Always.

I love being a mom and my son is the dopest kid in the world (subjectively spoken, of course lol). He saved me from myself and I really mean that. He is love, light, and everything good and amazing in this world.

I love my family and friends. I love Hip Hop. Lyrics move me. I love words. I can be a loner. I always think everything is “so cute”. I love the ocean and water in general. I embrace being proud of your ethnicities (read: mine are Samoan, Tongan, Armenian, Black, European mutt & Portuguese). Proud ally of the LBTQ+ community.

I do not align myself with anything I don’t believe in 1000%. Do not let the world dim your star. Be yourself because that’s when the magic happens. Like Pastor Mike Todd says, we keep it H.O.T. around here.
