I’m not the 22-year-old fresh-out-of-college grad, okay?
I’m the 32-year-old, married, FOUR-kid-having, “hold on, I was just wiping noses five minutes ago” mom who just walked across that stage.

This is a testimony.

My journey started in 2011, I was a film major and volleyball player who also found out that I was pregnant with my Karrah girl. I dropped out, got married, had 3 more precious little ones and did all the things, but when we moved back to NC in 2021, I went back to school to complete my film degree where I started, right at saufalcons! 

There were days I wanted to quit, especially when I was working full-time and I would look at the sky like, “Lord… how?” (And no I do not recommend putting all that on your plate at once, more on that later 🤣)

But Galatians 6:9 and all my friends kept pulling me through:
“Don’t grow weary. You will reap.”

So to every mama, late bloomer,
dreamer, or anyone who feels behind:
Don’t hold too tightly.
Don’t strangle the seed.
Stop worrying about tomorrow, 
you already have a Father standing in your future.

Your only job?
Show up.
Keep planting.
Keep trusting.

Because when the due season comes,
you’ll look back and laugh,
“I really thought I wasn’t gonna make it… but look at me now!”

We made it, yall!! And something tells me…
He’s just getting started.

And HUGE SHOUTOUT TO MY MOM, LIL COUSIN AND FRIENDS TURNED FAMILY WHO SHOWED UP FOR ME! layyy.__ ‘s commentary had me cracking up. She also orchestrated my graduation after party where we kept the celebration going. I love yall so much ❤️❤️
