What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me to never give up. Suffering bought out a fire 🔥 in me that is continuously lit ! Suffering bought lessons that prepared me for a life in success and how to keep it.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
Harmony ✨
Cultural Values Are What Make Diverse Cultures Unique
Cultural harmony is the value of peacefully and respectfully coexisting with diverse groups by promoting peace, cooperation, and mutual understanding. It involves a society’s collective principles of fitting in, maintaining social and natural balance, and shared values and beliefs, rather than emphasizing individual dominance or exploitation. This value is evident in community projects, intercultural exchanges, and aligning cultural practices with environmental well-being
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
The story of the Brown girl with the big dreams. The story of how I did everything I set out to do. How I’ve left a legacy and an impact for women of color everywhere. I pray to be celebrated for who I was which is a woman of god and kindness. They are going to tell people of how my faith of a mustard seed kept me whole.
