I am the Founder and Facilitator of Journey Girl (www.journeygirl.org), a professional Teen Life Consultant, Fashion Jewelry Designer and Design Instructor, Speaker, Author, and Featured Blogger for blog.journeygirl.org, and audio blogger for journeygirlatl.wordpress.com.
I maintain extensive knowledge in the world of handcrafted fashion jewelry, Entrepreneurship and Business Management, Youth Enrichment Programming and Youth Advocacy. I have a deep passion to contribute to the positive development of youth throughout the world through Journey Girl, a mobile enrichment project for youth ages 7-17. I provide T.L.C (Teen Life Consulting) which offers practical ideas and strategies for youth through Journey Girl's Youth Enrichment Sessions; featuring our very own workbooks and learning materials for teens, designed to educate youth on the necessary success life skills.
As a Fashion Jewelry Designer, I hosts jewelry-making events for girl-focused groups. These events relay a positive message of beauty and style, all while teaching creative expression through the unique art of fashion jewelry design.
Journey Girl was recently featured on CBS Atlanta News as Youth Experts, along with our "I Am The B.O.M" (r) Entrepreneurship prodeucts and services for teens and young adults provides, which provide economic empowerment to those with a passionate desire to start their own businesses.
