Black Owned Businesses
Spotlighting inspiring Black entrepreneurs, creators, and brands making an impact.
Welcome to my blog, Life Is a Journey, a space where I share my story as it unfolds. This is where entrepreneurship, motherhood, creativity, and community all meet. It is not just about building businesses or checking milestones. It is about navigating real life while doing it.
This space reflects the seasons that do not always make it into a highlight reel. The moments of growth, the moments of uncertainty, and everything in between. As a founder, a mother, and a creative, I have learned that the journey is rarely linear, but it is always meaningful.
Here, you will find reflections shaped by lived experience, lessons from building and leading, and honest conversations about what it looks like to balance ambition, family, and purpose. Some days that looks like strategy and execution. Other days it looks like learning, adjusting, and simply continuing forward.
Life Is a Journey is for anyone building something while becoming someone. Whether you are growing a business, raising a family, rediscovering yourself, or navigating change, this space is here to remind you that you are not doing it alone.
We are all figuring it out as we go.

When I first realized I wanted to start my own business the first thing I did was read. I bought books on business, guides for entrepreneurs, and yes, those famous Dummies books. I really took the time to learn what I was getting into. For me, that was the fun part. For others, it can feel like a different language:...

Someone recently asked me what a business entity is and why they need to have one. As I was explaining it to them, it dawned on me that I never re-uploaded my breakdown of what a business entity is on my blog since my site was hacked. So, here we go. When it comes to being an entrepreneur and starting...

In the world of branding and business, it’s important to understand the difference between a positioning statement and a mission statement. While they may sound similar, they each serve very distinct purposes. Let’s break them down in simple terms so you can better understand how each one plays a role in the growth and direction of your business. What is...
"It would have been nice if we could have lived our lives without taking any wrong turns. But such a thing isn't possible. We still stumble...we lose our way, we make mistakes and yet little by little, one step at a time we keep on walking forward. With our own two feet... even if we get beaten and bruised along the way we'll eventually reach something. We'll eventually reach someone. Until then we'll keep wishing. So... let's start walking.” “So walk with me. We’ll find a way to overcome this together. No matter what happens, I’ll be right here by your side.”
