Standing on the stage 3 weeks postpartum and walking away with the $125,000 competition win wasn’t just about funding... it was about declaring that alternative & holistic healers belong in healthcare!

is the first AI-powered platform making it possible for home birth midwives, herbalists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and other holistic care providers to:
✨ Get credentialed
✨ Run their businesses
✨ Finally get reimbursed fairly by insurance

And this is only the beginning. One day, we’ll build our own insurance company. Our own wellness clinics. Our own community care networks. An entire alternative healthcare system rooted in healing, equity, and access.

Forever grateful to the visionaries who made this possible:
🙏🏾 Judges
🙏🏾 EYL Founders and the entire family
🙏🏾 The + team for investing in more than just companies but in communities.

💡 And here’s the best part: you don’t have to be an accredited investor to invest in this vision. You can co-own Swishvo with us today or join the movement. Link in bio. 🚀

🚨 Swishvo has made it to the Final 5 of the Open Pitch Competition at , the largest Black financial empowerment festival in the world, powered by

Tomorrow, I’ll be pitching on the EYL stage, presented by + , for the chance to win $125,000 and, more importantly, to show what it looks like when we invest in our OWN healers, our OWN solutions, and our OWN communities.

This is bigger than me. This is about rewriting the future of healthcare.

Let’s go! 🚀

🚨Yall!!! ( The biggest Leo with an Ego) just hit the Speed Limit… but she’s still in the FAST LANE! 🚗💨💎
Happy 55th to the flyest woman I know, my mama. The original glam-ma. The queen of four closets, four jobs, and a million acts of love.

She’s not just beautiful. She’s tireless. She’s brilliant. She’s the most dependable person in our lives... the type who works 8 days a week and still finds time to clean my house top to bottom when I’ve just had a baby, organize my chaos, and remind me I’m not alone.

She’s the kind of grandma who shows up for every birth, every FaceTime, every Amazon wish list… and somehow still finds the energy to go back home and care for her mom. She is strength, sparkle, and sacrifice wrapped in Chanel No. 5 and a good deal from Ross. 😂❤️

There is no “me” without her. No Swishvo. No spark. No belief. She is the blueprint. The backbone. The one who always answers, always shows up, always reminds us we are worth it.

I love you forever, Mommy.
You’ve been that girl for 55 years… and ma'am, you just getting started. 💋🔥

🎉 Happy Thirty-WON to my life partner! 👑
31 never looked so good—and I mean good good. 😍
This was your year, TraeBae:

✔️ You became a father of THREE (yes, a 3-peat 🏆🏆🏆)
✔️ You left a job you loved to chase the dream to build commercial & industrial buildings
✔️ You’ve built buildings and built this beautiful life with me

You’re our provider, our protector, the minister of this little ministry we call a family. The kind of man who leads with love, shows up with strength, and still finds a way to keep us laughing (and on schedule 🙃).

I can’t believe you let me style your locs into an updo for your birthday! We said no babies in 2026 but… God, be a chastity belt, a vasectomy, and maybe even a matching hysterectomy—because this man is looking like a snack, a meal, AND dessert today!

Here’s to the love of my life, my best friend, and the baddest engineer I know.
We love you so much, . Let’s celebrate everything you are—today and always. ❤️🎂

Life update… and then there were 3! 💙💖💖
Romeo, Gianna, & now Rianna — who knew my heart (or my hands 😅) could be this full?

Somebody please tell their Daddy that we are officially done.
Like… we can start a new hobby, binge a new show, I'll even learn 2K — literally anything but procreate. 😭😂

I’ve been pregnant for at least 6 months every year since 2023… and baby, I’m tired.
Manifesting a pregnancy-free 2026. 🙏🏽 Let’s just raise these kids in peace! 😂👶🏽👶🏽👦🏽

📚First Day of 8th Grade for ROMEO 📚

Y'all's Internet Nephew is officially in his last year of middle school and I couldn’t be prouder even if I couldn’t be there at the door this morning. As we welcome our newest family member into the world, we’re also cheering on Romeo as he steps into this new school year full of potential, creativity, and purpose. (thank you mom & papa Trae for getting the board done 😭)

This year, I’m praying for:

— 🧠 Continued academic excellence as an honors student
— 💪 Confidence to believe in himself, with or without outside approval
— 🎬 Freedom to be unapologetically his creative self

He dreams of becoming a legendary storyteller — greater than Tyler Perry, Ryan Coogler, and Steven Spielberg combined. And I believe he can do it.

So help me wish Romeo an amazing 8th grade year! 💥

Happy Father’s Day to the man who became Romeo’s safe place the moment he entered his life. For 6 years, you’ve loved him like your own—and it shows in every hug, every laugh, and every tear he brings to you before me.

Watching you raise Gianna from day one has been a gift. You’re the ultimate girl dad—baths, diapers, bedtime and all. And now we’re about to add one more to the crew. Chaos is coming, but there’s no better dad to lead it.

You deserve all the flowers, anime, and gaming time today. We love you so much, 💙

Last week, I stood on stage and shared my vision for Swishvo one final time for the Statewide Investment Accelerator by . But this wasn’t just another pitch—it was personal.

I created because I believe in a world where doulas, herbalists, midwives, and other healing providers don’t get pushed to the side. These are the same people who helped save my life—and they deserve to get paid through insurance like any other provider.

No more out-of-pocket.
No more being overlooked.
We’re building the system our communities actually need.

I’ve learned so much in this program—how to turn my passion into a plan, how to talk to investors, and how to keep going even when things feel hard. I’m proud to say: the Swishvo raise is OPEN and I am more ready than ever.

🙏🏾 I’ll never forget the people who showed up for me on this special day.
Shakita Long Shatoya White Ju Ju DaLa LínConnie McClain Ashford Mary Lois Jackson Regina Jones Liz Walsh, Romeo, and Gianna
Your love and presence meant everything to me.

This is just the beginning.
For Swishvo.
For our healers.
And for everyone who deserves care that’s rooted in love, not just bills.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms out there! And a very Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who has truly been by my side since Day 1.

From the moment I was born, through every milestone, every heartbreak, every high and low—you’ve never left my side. Whether I was pitching my business, speaking at a national conference, or just trying to catch my breath, you were right there—cheering me on, holding the baby, grabbing snacks, fixing my outfit, or making sure nobody got out of line.

You’re not just the best mom—you’re the ultimate glam-ma. Stylish at all times, rocking your shades indoors and out, running your own version of Prime shipping through your Temu addiction. The kids say they need something and the next day it’s magically at my door—straight from Temu. Now, do we always know if it’ll work or if we can assemble it? No. But do we love the effort? Absolutely.

You are crazy, hilarious, loving, fierce, and the hardest-working woman I know. FOUR jobs. 24/7. And yet somehow, you still manage to make everyone in your life feel seen, loved, and cared for.

Happy Mother’s Day to our superhero with designer shades.

✨ South Carolina Family — I need YOU! ✨

Over the past 12 weeks, I’ve pitched Swishvo nearly 80 times while growing not just my business, but my family too. It hasn’t been easy — but it’s reminded me every step of the way that I’m building something worth fighting for.

Now, I’m asking you to support me.

🗓 Join me on May 6th in Columbia, SC for Demo Day at Benedict College, where I’ll be pitching Swishvo alongside an amazing group of innovators transforming healthcare, tech, and community.

Come witness firsthand the work we’ve poured our hearts into — and let’s show South Carolina what it looks like when Black women lead, when founders persevere, and when healing becomes accessible.

Let’s pack the room with love and support!

📍 Little Theater, 1600 Harden St. Columbia, SC
🕔 May 6 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM ET
🎟 RSVP here ➡️ https://lu.ma/c4demoday

This isn’t just a pitch — it’s a movement.
