Lean in: let me tell you a story. This morning I was dragging. I wasnt 100% Excited about teaching #Zumba.(just keeping it real!) I got to class and when I started dancing, all that was lost. I came alive. And oh my class, they smiled, they danced their hearts out & I fed off of it. The more they "felt themselves" the bigger I smiled. I gave out bracelets to a few of them that danced their hearts out to remind them that they are beautiful, strong, kind, fierce & amazing. I wanted them to carry that through the week with them & leave their burdens with me, on that dance floor!! After class a few of them said, "I just LOVE your energy." Tears welled up in my eyes. Because of my crazy speaking schedule coming up, I wasn't sure if it was prudent to keep getting subs or give up my class, but they reminded me with hugs and smiles that they needed me. I love it when GOD gives us answers & what we need. No filter, just pure JOY!

Let's be an army of QUEENS, ladies. Women that lift one another up, support one another, cheer each other on! You are NOT my competition. I speak life, JOY, health & prosperity into you!

This is why I am SOO relentless with #ChangingtheNarrative. This is from a player that heard me speak at his school. #beaKING #raisingKINGS

I walked into Crossfit Breaking Boundaries the other day expecting a brutal workout. Most of our workouts are brutal, and I have become addicted to the overcoming. That is part of the allure for me. I was meeting two friends there to WOD with. One couldn't make it,...
