You Will Make It!

So I got a new job in another state. Daily I was experiencing every emotion known to mankind during my move.

I had a few things to finish back home before I made my new move. We threw my grandmother a surprise 80th birthday party. Which we killed & she LOVED it!!! Then I had to go back & finish packing up my apartment. You never know how much stuff you have until it’s time to move. I donated so many items to less fortunate people I don’t know where all of those things had fit into my one bedroom.

I was jumping through hoops to finish all of my requirements for my upcoming job. A background check, a drug screen, a physical you name it I had to complete it.

My window of time was closing down I was stressed, nervous, scared, & excited. I was stressed because moving is stressful but moving to a new state is worse. Nervous because starting over always plays on your nerves. Scared because I was leaving my comfort zone. Excited for the new opportunities that awaited me in my new state.

Through prayer, focus, meditation, and tremendous support from my family & friends I made it. You can jump out of that box take that leap of faith & survive!!! Do it!!! I’m telling you first hand it won’t be easy but it is well worth it!!!

Remember I LOVE YOU!!!

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...

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...

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...
