As a 12 years old girl I was experiencing different changes to my body and was not understanding why I was passing out and having my feet turning blue. After going to doctors for years, I never understood the reasons why or how this was caused. As I got older my health started to get significantly worse, I would swell up with hives, my ears would turn purple, and my heart rate would beat at as high as 210 beats per minute. I almost died twice. Still having no answers as to why, I was put on 15 different medications to survive and gained almost 50 pounds. I experienced extreme depression as well as impacting my self-esteem. I struggled with going in and out of hospitals for years.

 I graduated high school and was accepted to the University of Florida on a Cheerleading scholarship but was not able to attend because my shoulder broke due to my medications making my bones extremely brittle. My dreams vanish right before my eyes. I believed that my life would be forever miserable, I then started attending college locally at St Petersburg College and received my Associates degree in Business. My heart set on owning my own business, while still facing the challenges of my disease. I realized then it was up to me to find the solution to my disease. I decided that my next goal was to go to nursing school. This helped to understand the body in a completely different way. I was able to gain the knowledge about autoimmune diseases and it was there I realized that I had Lupus SLE, one of the worst autoimmune a person can have. Finally, I was able to work with doctors who understood the underlying cause of my issues. I was able to move past all the dark times now knowing I had Lupus. This was an empowering time in my life. I learned how to help myself and others to overcome the challenges that accompanied Lupus.

During my life I would struggle with my relationships because I convinced myself that no one should have to take care of someone who is going to be sick forever. I mean if you love someone how is that fair? Someone made me realize that I learned if someone loves you, they will do what it takes to be alongside with you through anything. This really did destroy my confident. Thats why you fight for your dreams so you can look back and say YES QUEEN!!!

As a women in business it has been super empowering for me to push through something so hard. I’m wanting to express my stress and emotions behind on why this was thought through and made into real life. May my story serve as one that inspires you and serves as a reasons to change your life.

I have seen my dad pass out in front of me when I was 11 years old and he was unconscious in the wall that he put a hole through. I was scared and felt like everything around me was falling apart. We called 911 calling on a response to the emergency as soon as possible. As he was transported to St Joes North, he was rerouted to Moffitt Cancer Center.

As young women at this moment in my life, I was confused and lost because I didn’t know what to do. Mentally I have struggled and had to work through issues I have had with my father. I always needed to get some sort of attention or feel emotions because most of my pre teens years were spent in a hospital caring for him. To watch a man lose his eyesight and hearing all at once is mentally tough. To make matters worse, he didn’t handled it well at all.

This compounded the effected it has had on me as a women. The simple explanation why is that I struggled to believe that I was worth it. I said to myself he is angry with me and I’m only trying to help. I’ve really had to work on working through my emotions towards him not appreciating me the way my mom and I deserve. This has directly had a profound impact on my health issues and have affected my confidence.

I was first diagnosed with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POT) at 12 years old. My heart was not able to get a regular heart rate and I was always seeing black spots in my eyes. As I got older my health issues they got worse and worse. In high school I used to be covered in hives head to toes from Junior to Senior year. I gained a ton of weight from all the medication I have to take, I went into a mental depression. I started to party and act like someone I was not. I wanted to fit in like everyone else. I didn’t stay strong in who I was. I tried things that I regret and have embarrassed myself many times. That coinciding with what you already know about me doesn’t make the future look as bright as others may see theirs. It gets even worse.

With an update on my illness, I learned that it was really Lupus SLE. Waking up in the morning can be difficult. My head pounds to where I can not walk straight. Lupus is a very hard disease to have because of more than just the physical toll. Society exacts specific personifications of what beauty is on the world. Women especially are targeted primarily and as someone who lives in the world of pageantry and a title holder, you see the worst and best of it. Seeing other girls have cute clothes or skinny bodies was something that I have had to hide, which has brought out the best in me because I don’t hide anymore thanks to business. Society likes to make women feel like we are on a timeline and we have to meet standards that are impossible.

This is where business comes in as something that has saved my life, in a way that many give music credit for doing. My dreams are on forming a global business community, viable products as revenue streams, and helping the kids and students with disabilities. I wish that no one has to feel that in their life, they have no one or no one cares. By applying what I have learned this will happen. Our future are the children whom are angels. They need to be loved and cared for with encouragement through the thick and thin even when they fail they need love not a confidence let down. Giving that to them starts with business here at Remarkable Reasons.

Why I am sharing a snip bit of my life is because any women has the right to empower themselves. We deserve to be treated with the utmost respect.

I hope that this story about my life inspires you in some way, some how.
