Some journeys are filled with early mornings, late nights, doubts, and quiet victories that no one else sees.
Today, I’m proud to share that I have been selected as an Honoree for the Side Hustle Honors Awards!

Balancing a full-time career, building Unique Designs and Essentials, raising my son, and managing life’s ups and downs has not been easy. There were days it felt overwhelming, but giving up was never an option. Moments like this remind me why I keep pushing forward—to show my son and myself that dreams are worth fighting for.

Thank you to the Side Hustle Honors Leadership Team for recognizing my journey and my hustle.
This award isn’t just for me—it’s for everyone out there doing the best they can with what they have.

Stay tuned, because my story is still being written.
