NOTEBOOK copy 1

Dear Young Queen,

I once read, “If you are ever going to crack the ice of another person’s soul, you have to be brave enough to go first. To be a witness. A testimony. An example. Except that part is not always easy.”

I would say that most of my life was a cakewalk. I jumped into my career right after college, had a social calendar out of this planet, travelled all over the world, filmed a reality show with my best friends, and had a 3 yr relationship with a champion NBA player.  However, at the end of 2015, I experienced a devastatingly dramatic, public breakup that was coupled with career and family issues that sent me into depression. I was lost, betrayed, and my confidence and self-esteem was the size of a pea.

But, out of the fire emerged my passion for writing. I wrote when I was sad, I wrote when I was lost, I wrote when I was confused, I wrote and wrote and wrote.  Writing became a healthy and productive means to heal my pain, expose my fears, and confront my pain head on. I realized that my story, while unique to me, resonated with SO MANY women. I let fear go and I started to share my stories, thousands of you started to read, and it gave me hope.  

Here I am now, attempting to swim through the dating pool, navigate new and existing friendships, grow a startup, and become the woman that I always dreamed of being. I hope this platform makes you laugh, makes you cry, gives you comfort, and motivates you when you lack inspiration  But most importantly, I hope to begin conversations that we, as women, have avoided for so long.
