Yet another lifelong dream of mine was to serve as a Travel Designer after having my first experience with travel when I was still a young child in the summer of 1990. My sister and I traveled by Greyhound Bus from California to New Jersey without cell phones, the internet, or social media. That trip was the genesis of a journey unfettered toward seeing, becoming, and learning from the world. I  would eventually live in seven states and have also lived in South America (Colombia). I have visited over 20 countries across six continents and counting.

 

 I am forever passionate about travel and inspired by retreats, romance, group travel, and those who do it solo.

 I would often plan multiple vacations.

As a result, my husband would begin jokingly calling me a "groupie for travel," leading me to discover my company name, Travel Groupie LLC. I  have even visited Jamaica seven times, where I planned and had our wedding.

 

Alongside my entrepreneurial pursuits, I am just as dedicated to giving back. I come from an adverse background, including being a victim of gun violence, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, homelessness, and poverty. Yet, I enjoy being able to give back to the community. My career has enabled me to enjoy the benefits of my success through travel and, most importantly, help and mentor others. In doing so, I'm an active volunteer who has led fundraisers, communal drives, and giveaways for those hit hardest in impoverished communities. 

 

Outside of my philanthropy and career, I enjoy fine dining and listening to music. I'm a huge Hip Hop fan; I love dancing like nobody's watching and traveling the world. When I'm not busy at work. I love spending every moment of my free time serving as a devoted wife, mother, auntie, and fur mom.
