My story begins like many others: as a kid who was forced to grow up too soon. At just twelve years old, I was running a household, raising a family, and carrying responsibilities no child should have to bear. My father was present but not the caretaker I needed, and his tough love left me with deep insecurities and the constant question: Am I enough?

By twenty-six, my world was shaken even further when I was diagnosed with what was then called bipolar disorder. I faced four hospitalizations, seasons of darkness, and the fight to find myself again. Yet even in the lowest valleys, one truth remained unshakable: God never let me go.

Through faith and perseverance, I turned pain into purpose. I became a co-author of four books, earned my associate degree, built a career in human resources, and even served as a government professional from home.

Along the way, I gained friends, lost some, and learned that while people may come and go, God’s hand never leaves.

That’s why I created Abundant Collective. It’s more than a brand — it’s a movement. It’s a space for stories, healing, and joyful living. A space where we turn struggle into strength, where faith fuels our creativity, and where we remind one another that no matter what we face, we are never alone.

My story is one of resilience, faith, and abundance. And now, I’m here to help others live theirs.
