We are not here to just survive. Just to live here. We are made to thrive. And take up space. To stretch and extend. Being molded into something new. Transforming into our purpose.

Losing My Job=Freedom
July 26, 2021
On January 25, I left my job, not knowing it would be my last day. After 18 months of various situations, my last day wasn’t even by my own doing. I left that day under the impression that my paid leave was temporary. That leave turned into two months, then a termination. As an educator, … More Losing My Job=Freedom
Following Divine Signs
July 16, 2020
It’s a crazy, surreal, indescribable feeling when you realize that life is not random — that it has purpose. When you realize that there are signs everywhere of choices you should make, directions to take, validations of your gut instincts, it can feel overwhelming. It can be confusing, but I’ve found that the more you … More Following Divine Signs
Discovering My Purpose
March 9, 2020
This year I have made up my mind to be myself openly, authentically, and unapologetically– all things that are pretty much out of my comfort zone. On my father’s side, I am a woman of color, but I was raised solely by my white mother. I am Brazilian-born, but American-raised. I love creative writing and … More Discovering My Purpose

Resilience Raise your hand if you think you’re resilient. Now, keep your hand up if you’ve NEVER quit ANYTHING. Not a diet, New Years resolution, or job. I’m pretty sure everyone’s hands went down, or at least the majority. Honestly, I’ve quit all three, and some for reasons as simple as being a quitter. It’s … More Pursuing P.U.R.P.O.S.E – PT 3

Prosperity In case you didn’t guess, this post is going to be about money. Do you really think I would be working so hard that my eyelids droop sometimes, missing out on the “fun” of my 20s, and constantly working on becoming a better business woman if I did not see it making me money? … More Pursuing P.U.R.P.O.S.E – Pt 4

Understanding Sing with me, “HOW CAN WE COMMUNICATE. IF YOU DON’T HEAR WHAT I SAY. WHAT I NEED FROM YOU IS UNDERSTANDING”. For the longest, I just wanted to find myself. I wanted to understand why I could be super happy in one instance and then be completely down the next. I wanted to understand … More Pursuing P.U.R.P.O.S.E – Pt 2

Passion What are you passionate about? Really sit and think about it. If time and money were not a factor in your life, what would you do? Would you paint; would you sing; would you go from country to country eating different foods? What would you do? For me, I would sit next to a … More PURSUING P.U.R.P.O.S.E: PT 1

“How did you know?” First, I just want to say that God is amazing. In all things give thanks. I started writing for Queen Media Collective as a way to unapologetically express myself. It’s easy to write in your notes (which is my medium of choice) or even write on a journal. But it’s different … More Pursuing PURPOSE: The Preview
