You’ve spent over a decade working in the Criminal Justice System, focusing on roles such as Domestic Violence Prevention and School Safety. How has this background influenced your passion for self-empowerment and motivational speaking?

My Experience in the criminal justice system has shaped my approach to helping others overcome trauma and hardships tremendously. It often helps me recognize the importance of empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions when assisting individuals who have experienced trauma or hardships. I also utilized techniques such as trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, and supportive counseling to address emotional needs and promote healing. My experience has helped me create a safe and supportive environment for individuals to express themselves and process their experiences. Working in Domestic Violence shaped my empathy and sympathy for people who experience things that I probably would have never understood. Domestic Violence helps me understand the mindset and emotional trauma that attaches to someone and blinds them from being transparent with themselves. After so many years I realized that my ultimate goal was to inspire individuals to navigate their challenges, heal from emotional trauma, and rebuild their lives in meaningful ways.

What inspired you to start your company “Time to be Established” (TTBE)? Can you share the mission and vision behind TTBE and how it aims to help individuals overcome their weaknesses and achieve success?

TTBE “Time to be Established” started in 2014. When I started the brand, it was an online magazine. The magazine was designed to discover up-and-coming creatives who wanted to share their story and their passions. I would host interviews provide videos and photoshoots and publish the content online. Later in 2017, my brand grew into being a voice for the people who were lacking the motivation to live out their dreams. This is when I discovered I was a motivational speaker and wanted to inspire and motivate people to push themselves to accomplish their goals. TTBE from when it was started was aimed to inspire anyone who needed a platform to show their talents and what they can bring to the table. It was a place for them to look back and remember their goals and that fire they once had. I managed to do this with no money, no funding, but with faith. I realized the vision behind it all from when TTBE first started was to give people vision and goals. I would set up the production day and my clients had to commit. Now with such a powerful voice, I can dig deeper into who they are that will stop their fire from burning out. Many people are out there who don’t continue their dreams or have huge gaps in their success because of multiple reasons. My voice my brand TTBE will keep you on track and allow you to fix your mistakes as well as fight and continue to fight for all the things you want in life.

Could you elaborate on the various services TTBE offers, such as Keynote Event Speaking, Small Group Lectures, and Life Coaching? How do these services contribute to the overall goal of empowering others?

TTBE offers many services and continues to grow today. Many of my previous services were designed to only offer services that require keynote speaking, coaching sessions, and event speaking. But what makes me excited is now I am now offering Public Speaking coaching/ Accredited School. For many years, I used to ask myself how long will you just be the prominent speaker and people are only there to listen. I wanted to engage with my clients and community. My services are now designed to develop each individual to become the person they always desired to be. My service intentions are to make my clients the best version of themselves. It is designed to elevate each individual uniquely. My goal is to train, coach, and lead everyone in the different directions that fit their purpose and passion.

You’ve ventured into podcasting with series like “Blackout” and “Tap in Podcast by TTBE”. What motivated you to start these podcasts, and what topics do you typically cover?

Tap In Podcast by TTBE was an extension of my voice and was developed to give my audience and community another side of my perspectives and teaching. I wanted to build a relationship with my audience that would give them hope for a greater future. Most of my topics cover motivational tips, inspiring stories, and perspectives. I talk about the mindset and focus on the self-motivation that each person that is listening to the podcast. My goal for my listeners is to believe in themselves and find positive ways to deal with the situations life throws at us. There are many times we may go through things and want to give up, but I try to give hope and light to each listener who listens to the podcast.

Your recent book, “Spiritually Busy”, and the line of TTBE products mark significant milestones in your journey. Can you tell us more about the inspiration behind this project and what you hope they achieve?

When I decided to write my first book “Spiritually Busy” I was in a very dark place at the time. I was battling depression and could not figure out how to pull myself out. I woke up one day and was exhausted from looking for answers to my problems. I knew in my heart most of the answers to our problems are within us. I started writing a book as I decided to get closer to GOD. When you think about spirituality you may think is just going to church, or being connected to the universe. Being spiritually busy allows you to look into yourself and look at yourself and see what is missing. My book consists of scenarios and short stories with solutions that each reader can resonate with. I did not write this book to please others. I wrote my book to inspire others and give someone who’s reading it a sense of purpose. Everyone has a story and I insist they should tell it. The goal of this book is to land in the hands of each person who can resonate with the storyline. I want this book to touch every hand that it intends to heal and guide with positivity and help.

You’re active on various social media platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and X (formerly known as Twitter). How do you leverage these platforms to connect with your audience and spread your message?

Social media was never intended for me to build my community. When I first started public speaking, I intended to inspire and motivate anyone open to hearing my voice. Just recently I went viral on all platforms allowing me to build my community. After going viral my intentions did change as I saw an opportunity to take my gift so much further. I decided to use my platform to engage my audience in a wider range. I also saw the opportunity to build my brand and distribute more content for my audience. After receiving so many positive comments, views, and likes I knew for a fact my online community did excel. I use my platforms to inspire and, motivate as well as coach people of all kinds on how to enhance their voice. By leveraging all my social media platforms, I was able to create a better impact and ultimately inspire and engage with my audience.

What advice would you give to someone who is facing challenges and seeking to make positive changes in their life?

The advice I would give someone who wants to change and seeking to change in their life is first self-reflection. Take some time to reflect on your current situation and identify areas in your life that you would like to change and improve. Set clear goals that align with the values and aspirations. Break down goals into smaller steps to make them more attainable. Find the right support groups for guidance and encouragement. Get ready to embrace the change because it’s a natural part of life. I will have advised them that it’s okay to step out of their comfort zone. Practice self-compassion while treating yourself with the same level of compassion and understanding of your true purpose. I will also recommend staying persistent while committing to your goals and maintaining a positive attitude. Celebrate the progress you make each step of the way. Remember that change takes time and effort and is persistent. Be patient with yourself and your ability to overcome challenges and create positive change.

What is your definition of a Pretty Woman Who Hustles?

My definition of a pretty woman is that hustle refers to a woman who is not only physically attractive but also possesses a strong work ethic, determination, and ambition. For someone who is visually appealing in the conventional sense, it’s essential to recognize that beauty comes in various forms and not solely on appearance. A pretty woman has worth ethics, determination, ambition, resourcefulness, and self-confidence. Overall “A Pretty Women Who Hustle” embodies a combination of beauty intelligence, determination, and resilience. She is a shining example of empowerment and inspiration, showcasing what can be achieved through hard work, perseverance, and a positive mindset.
