1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Harlem, New York into a single parent home. I was raised in Summerville, South Carolina by my mother and stepfather, who is the man who raised me, and there’s no “step” about it. I’m the second oldest out of eight children (multiple families). I presently reside in Cordova, Tennessee with my husband and three birth children. I was blessed with two bonus children coming into the marriage.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in four states, presently pursuing my LCSW. I have worked in healthcare and social services for the past 20 years. I have managed Fortune 500 companies and managed non-profit programs.
My hobbies include spending time with family, traveling, and dancing.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
PlanNet Marketing has helped me grow as a leader both inside and outside of the business. I use the skills from the colors training when talking to coworkers and other managers at my job. I’m taking the time to read more self-development and coaching books to apply to my personal and professional relationships.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
I’m driven by the desire to keep my children focused and ready for the future. I don’t want them to have to rely on anyone, but be available for everyone wanting to win with them. I’m motivated by their smiles and not having to worry about whether I can provide for their needs.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My grandparents, Frankie Leroy Ravenell, Lila Ravenell, and Mary Flagler are my role models. They never gave up and showed me how dedication and working to get what you want in life makes you stronger and resilient when the storms come.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Resilient, determined, and passionate.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Storms of life will come; ride through it like an eagle because your reward is on the other side of adversity.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Time freedom to go to my son’s college football games without having to ask for permission to take off. Personal freedom to get up when I want to build my team and travel the world. Financial freedom to help everyone attached to my team.
