Happiest March!
These last few years have been…a journey. I’ve been slowly but surely updating my blog.
There’s so much I want to share and I will in due time. But, in the meantime; welcome to all my new readers.
If you’re just discovering my blog or revisiting, welcome to my life’s journey.
My name is Trudean Haye. I was born and raised in the country of Jamaica, and I am an immigrant black woman. I am the founder of ITAVFoundation, a nonprofit organization in Philadelphia. I am an entrepreneur, food enthusiast, a new mom and business owner.
I started blogging to share my life’s journey to help encourage others that they are not alone. Blogging isn’t easy, at least not for me, especially juggling multiple businesses, a family and life’s everyday challenges. But, even though it may be a challenge at times, I still find it therapeutic.
You may have noticed all the recent pregnancy posts sharing my journey into motherhood. What to expect when you’re not expecting. This journey has been filled with many heartbreaks.
A journey many women share but only few talk about.
As you enter my world you’ll read about my advocacy work, you’ll learn things that I love and you’ll read about my struggles with depression. A mental health issue that is not openly discussed within the black community. Depression is something that many people struggle with, but no one really talks about because of the stigmas surrounding mental health.
Mental Health Awareness is so important to me, especially when it comes to the black community and our youths. It’s such a silent killer, but I want to shed as much light on this matter as much as possible to help anyone that may need it.
While you’re here drop a comment and share your thoughts with me. Thank you to those who’ve been with me since day one. I’m grateful for all your words of encouragement and inspirations.

Beautiful Trudean. Congratulations on your blessings.
I had 3 miscarriages. It is the hardest thing to process. The biggest struggle is always wondering if you shoyld keep trying. Such a big mental toll.
I wish more people talked about mental health in the black community. I grew up thinking going to a therapist meant i was crazy so glad i broke out of that. My therapist saved my life. Keep writing.
Your blog is so cute. Thank you for sharing
