Founder of Grow In Confidence
Established in 2019
Saginaw Township's first African American Board Trustee
Grow in Confidence was created from a deep desire to see girls and young women break free from doubt, comparison, and insecurity. I believe confidence isn’t just about how you present yourself—it’s about knowing who you are, embracing your voice, and trusting that you were created to make an impact.
Through events, mentorship, and empowering conversations, I create spaces where young women feel seen, heard, and uplifted. Whether it’s through conferences, interactive experiences, or faith-centered encouragement, my mission is to remind every girl that she is powerful, valuable, and capable of making things happen.
