Mother’s Day weekend 2018, more than 300 teenagers attended the 10th annual ‘Get Reel With Your Dreams’ event, a program founded by Eyewitness News anchor Sade Baderinwa. It offers high school students insight into a variety of job opportunities in the television/media industry. I was honored to be among 10 panelists who spoke about the highs and lows of our road to success.
I shared the chapter of my journey that put me on a path to the beauty industry in television. The students were very receptive and eager to learn about cosmetology.  Most of them thought it was just about doing hair and makeup as a side job. After explaining to them in-depth about my daily routine, they were able to understand what goes on behind the scenes in the television/media industry. 

 I am so elated that I was able to pay it forward by volunteering my time to help our youth. It was a day well spent.
