"Meaningful Conversations are life changing conversations"

I apologize for being MIA. I have been working on a ton of amazing stuff.
I constantly share on my journey as a mother and event planner because I understand the power of my story. I understand that there could be a woman out there scared to walk in her purpose and is waiting for a story she can relate to. I am interested in the everyday woman. The woman who is selling puff puff to raise her children, the woman who society gave up on because she had a child as a teenager or out of wedlock, the woman who has 4 children gone back to school and pursued her dreams. The woman who is able to balance working full time and raising her children. The woman who doesnt have children physically but has adopted is giving them her best. The woman who is an aunt or Godmother. The everyday mentor, the mentor who is not a millionaire. I am interested in the testimonies that are relatable. Your story is always going to be relatable. I am interested in the everyday woman making a difference in her community. That's a story that I would like to sit in on.

Guest at our last Mamipikin talks event in Gaithersburg MD. 10/22/2016 

In the past month so much has happened I could write an entire series. One of the most important things you can do in your life is to TELL YOUR OWN STORY. I want to take this moment to encourage all our readers to stand in their own truth. Create a circle that can hold you accountable. Let go of friendships that cannot leave the past in the past. If you are surrounded by women who constantly put you and yours down you need to remove yourself from such company. Remove yourself from relationships that rid you of your sanity. Take a stand on issues that you feel strongly about in honesty and truth. If you cannot set your self free of others opinion you will never attain that next level greatness that awaits you. We have locked ourselves up in a prison of secrets and these secrets are killing us by the minute. Of course we have to be discrete and pray for a spirit of discernment but at the end of the day no one will tell your story better than you. Your story is a journey. Its usually what sets you apart. Its unique.
Don't let the wrong version of your story being told stop you from walking with your head held high.



This brings us to "Meaningful conversations". Meaningful Conversations are life changing conversations. These are those conversations that address the stereotypes and prejudices that we face as women and most especially mothers in today's world. When you share in conversation with other women you realize that there is a real life healing that takes place. You also learn that most of us have very similar struggles and triumphs. You take charge of those very issues that hold you back by addressing them in a forum that is judgment free. I am going to take the mandate of holding
meaningful conversations on the road. We are coming to a neighborhood near you, stay tuned. My ultimate goal is to empower women as a whole, and promote a safe space to have life changing conversations in an intimate forum. This can be done by promoting meaningful conversations in our immediate communities. You don't need a fancy space, linen or props. Just get together in a coffee shop or restaurant and create a safe space to uplift, empower, and strengthen each other.

The most important goal I have set for my self is to walk my talk. We all can do this by standing for something. Take a chance and speak on your story. Share your journey with someone else. Share your own truth. You might save a life. Sometimes even your life.
I truly believe in the phrase "Nomamipikinleftbehind". Be the woman that you are raising your daughter to be or the daughter in law you will love your son to meet. Be an open book. Let your experiences serve as a bridge to walking in your purpose.

First stop Dallas, TX. Are you in TEXAS or the surrounding area? What are you doing on December 4th, 2016? You can join in this life changing conversation. Very limited seating left. Register here:

"No Mami Pikin Left Behind.” Together we stand against domestic violence!

    October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and there is no better time for Cameroonian born Artist Master Yen to release  an award winning video that speaks volumes against Domestic violence. Domestic violence is at our doorsteps and yet we ignore the conversation completely. We cannot continue to stay silent about this cancer that is domestic violence. Domestic violence involves violence or abuse by one person against another in a familiar or intimate relationship. Domestic violence is most commonly thought of as partner violence, but can also include violence or abuse from a family member.

    Statistics and studies insist that stopping domestic violence long-term and “breaking the cycle of violence” heavily relies on raising children in an environment that is  free of violence because  children learn what the live ( that is if they haven't been killed or completely damaged from the abuse itself). In studies compared with children in other households, children who have been exposed to domestic violence are more likely to experience difficulties in school and to score lower on assessments of verbal, motor, and cognitive skills, and are more likely to exhibit aggressive and antisocial behavior, to be depressed and anxious, and to have slower cognitive development. Studies from various countries support the findings that rates of abuse are higher among women whose husbands were abused as children or who saw their mothers being abused.Source: Fantuzzo, J. and Mohr, W. (1999). “Prevalence and effects of child exposure to domestic violence.”  

So much to share on domestic violence, abuse and more one blog post cannot do the job. Be sure you to register for our upcoming event "Mamipikintalks" on here to join the discussion on domestic violence. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mamipikin-talks-ii-tickets-26782920436

Domestic violence includes and not limited to; 

• Actual or threats of physical violence
• Actual or threats of sexual violence

• Financial abuse (e.g., withholding money, ruining credit, stopping a partner from getting or keeping a job)

       " In a world plagued by strife and despair, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Master Yen is able to take us through a journey that evokes a sense of reflection and relevance in the world today. WANLE  brings a fresh rhythm that leaves you wanting more, making music a universal tool for love and change.The coming out of Master Yen is an introduction to some, but a relief for long time fans who have been spell-bound since his days in a go-go band. Pianist, guitarist, artist, producer, and musical therapist are only a few of the belts that Master Yen proudly wears."

Other Facts

   As a mother of four incredibly diverse children,several Godchildren and a huge external family  I speak from a point of experience, empathy, failure, success, love and determination. My goal is to promote a culture where women feel limitless while striving to become the best version of themselves.

      We usually fall for advice from people whom we trust and sometimes believe in. It gets really emotional and complicated when the very people you love, trust and sometimes look up to are not visionaries, and these are the very people who benefit from your anointing and or gift. You take your billion dollar dream to someone who doesn't see beyond minimum wage and expect them to cheer you on because of the friendship, sisterhood, brotherhood etc that you share. Not everyone is equipped to understand and or share in the infant stages of your dream and its ok. Do not try to get confirmation from someone that is not emotionally sound enough to believe in you or even themselves. Stop seeking for approval and get to work. You work hard, remain honest and loyal, and before you know it your inner most desires will come to fruition. 
     The biggest fear we face is the fear of disappointment. Who are you afraid of disappointing? Why are they so relevant? Why should this fear stop you from taking a chance? And who made them Lord over you? 
Do not let the opinions of others stop you from living your best life today. You are most productive and effective when you walk in the purpose that christ has called you for in THAT SEASON. Walking in your purpose is NOT A Social media POPULARITY contest. Its not measured by Likes and or comments. Its not measured by anything other than how much joy you are able to bring someone else.The biggest fear we face is the fear of disappointment.
