Free Yourself

You will never live your life to the fullest trying to make other people happy. At some point in time you have to stop and and evaluate who you are living for, God already knows everything about you. He created you from head to toe, so while you are on this Earth, make you happy.
Through my recent trials and tribulations, I've come to realize that if I don't live for Kennedi I end up miserable and regretting my life. I don't know about you, but I don't want to die with a list of what if's.

In 2017, I started making it a point to make me happy first. Nobody has to like my choices or decisions but me. I don't have a husband or kids that they will affect, so I live my life by my rules.

Most people that know me know I'm a grandma's girl to the fullest, and for those who know my grandmother know she is a devout Christian. So when I do certain things such as getting my tongue pierced I had a friend ask what will your grandma say? I said she's going to say that it's my body I'm going to get cancer not her body. I joke a lot about becoming a stripper (I'm seriously close) and I made a Facebook status that said you know it's real when I've already told my grandmother. Her reply to me was that's going to be your naked behind on a pole not mine. LOL. If you don't know her she's a real life Madea before Tyler Perry even came out with Madea.

I'm not living this life for my grandmother, and I would advise you to stop trying to please your parents, grandparents, spouses, etc. Down the line you will have missed out on your life. We only get one life to live and I'm glad I found this out at the age of 29 instead of 50. So today I challenge you to reevaluate your life and see who you are living for.

Disclaimer I do live for Christ!!!!

Remember I LOVE YOU!

This is how it started...

       I was asked to answer a table topic question. Table Topics is an impromptu question given to you by the Table Topics Master. You have 1-2 minutes to answer the question with a 30 second grace period. My first time being called on for Table Topics I was so nervous and shaking in my shoes.     I signed up for my Pathway & set out to start my Toastmaster journey. My first Pathway was Leadership Development. I gave my first speech which was an icebreaker to my club on December 7, 2019, titled, "Who is Kennedi?"     Listen to it below...

Follow me along my Toastmaster's Pathway...

      I get ideas, and I run with them. Many times, without doing the proper research before executing the vision. After battling depression over my HIV diagnosis, I decided to be a public HIV Advocate. What made me decide to do this? I told myself it was to assist young black women like myself not to feel alone or ashamed because we live with HIV. Once I came out to my family and friends with my status, they were very supportive.     One day my cousin sent me an event advertising an upcoming women's group, Toastmaster club. Before this, I had seen Toastmasters advertisements and video clips, but I was always scared to go. I have a very warm, friendly personality, but if I was put on a stage and the room was quiet, I FROZE UP. The people that know me are shaking their heads like not you, Kennedi. Yes, it's true. I knew that I needed to improve my general speaking skills if I wanted be a public advocate. I had a fabulous time, and that night I joined Toastmasters...

Disability Pride Month

Disability Pride Month is celebrated annually in July to honor people with disabilities and their contributions to society. As of 2024, at the tender age of 37, I am living with two chronic diseases. I'm grateful to God that I wake up each day. On my worst days, I wonder why me, Lord. Then I look back, remember what He’s already brought me through, and thank Him. Let’s all remember that not all disabilities look the same. One of my nieces saw my handicap sticker on my table and asked who was handicapped. I explained to her that not all disabilities are people in wheelchairs or visible to the naked eye. I battle with being an advocate for my new disability because I feel like I'm too young to be going through all I'm currently going through. Then, I must stop and remind myself that God still has me here for a reason. I pray that my presence helps someone else continue to fight and push through whatever they are going through. Remember, we are not alone. I'm grateful to m...
