Day 3 of sharing some of my favorite finds! 👟 I am absolutely obsessed with these Nikes. Not only are they super comfy, but they’re the perfect way to represent my sisterhood, Alpha Kappa Alpha. I loved the pink with green accents so much, I had to grab the inverse pair too! They add such a fun pop of color to any outfit, whether I'm dressing up or keeping it casual in jeans. 🌸💚

As the year slowly starts to come to an end, this week’s episode will be a fun one with just Jeremy and I in the studio. No guest this time, just the two of us sitting down for a good conversation as we close out the year.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in and supported the show throughout 2025. We appreciate every share, every listen, and every message. We’re already looking ahead to 2026 and excited for what’s next.

📻 Tune in Wednesday, December 17 at 5:05pm on WSOY 1340AM/103.3FM or stream live at NowDecatur.com.

I am so excited about my Favorite Thing #2! This new sweater from the National Black Growers Council is a gift from my father-in-law, who attended the NBGC Annual Meeting. We are partnering on a really meaningful venture: starting a 2-acre farm focused on bringing fresh food and wellness resources to people.
​What an amazing way to kick off this project. I'll be wearing this sweater with so much pride!

💖 My 10 Favorite Things: Day 1 - The Priceless Quilt 💖
​I'm doing a countdown of my 10 favorite things, and for Day 1, I have to share this incredible quilt made by my mom! It’s about 25 years old and is truly my most cherished item.
​What makes it so special?
​It's entirely hand-stitched by my amazing mother.
​Some of the fabric patches (like the floral and polka-dot pieces you see) are actually scraps from dresses she sewed for me when I was a little girl! Talk about a priceless piece of history and a core memory woven right in.
​It may be a little worn and tattered around the edges, but that just proves how loved it is. It's more than just a blanket; it’s a lifetime of love and memories.
​Do you have an heirloom item that tells a family story? I'd love to hear about it!

Loved this conversation on Byers & Co. We talked about enjoying the holidays, reflecting on the year, planning ahead for 2026, and a few fun things in between. Always appreciate the chance to connect and share ideas. Thanks for having me. 🎧

Christmas is still my favorite, but it took work to get back to joy. If the holidays feel heavy for you, know that there is joy on the other side of the work. You get to define what "happy" means for you now. 💚

Session 6 of the Women’s 2025 Leadership Mastery Series is right around the corner on December 18. This month we’re talking about something that shapes everything we do: how we spend our time.
When we understand the value of our time, we get more intentional about where it goes and who gets it. If you’re ready to step into the new year with more clarity and purpose, I’d love for you to join me.
Bring your favorite morning drink and meet me on Zoom as we continue exploring the connection between women and leadership.

We had some time to talk about finding your leadership voice, and the message is clear: Above all else, know that your voice matters.
​Your perspective, your lived experiences, your journey, and your work experience, it all matters. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
​If you are still showing up, if you are still here, there is inherent value in your style, your swag, and your flow.
​Keep sharing your voice. The world needs what you have to say. 💚

Are you effectively spending your GREATEST resource? (Hint: It's not money!)
​In our last Women's Leadership Mastery session, we talked about owning your voice. Now, let's talk about time! We're diving deep into "How You Are Spending Your Greatest Resource" this month. You get 24 "bucks" of time every day, you can't bank it or carry it forward. How are you investing it? Are you letting distractions and delays pluck out your precious time?
​Join us for an hour of powerful, fun, and "badass" discussion! Come as you are! Coffee in hand, camera on or off, it doesn't matter. Let's make sure you're getting the most out of your 24 hours.
​Mark your calendar for the next Third Thursday!

Are you communicating in a way that truly reflects your leadership strengths? The key to leading effectively often lies in your authentic communication style.
​In our last Women’s Leadership session we explored four primary leadership communication styles. Which one resonates most with you?
​1. The Advocate: Focused on fairness, equity, and speaking up for others. They lead with a strong sense of justice.
​2. The Strategist: Thinks at a high level (the "30,000-foot view"). Very intentional about direction and long-term planning.
​3. The Inspirer: Leads with vision, encouragement, and motivation. They are the "yes, let's go get it" communicators!
​4. The Grounder: Calm, steady, and keeps everything on pace. They provide stability and reassurance to the team.
