On June 7, 2026, I had the honor of being recognized by the Association of Black Social Workers New York City Chapter at their Annual Spring Homecoming Banquet. 💜❤️
This year’s theme, “Rooted in Legacy, Blooming in Excellence: Honoring the Past. Celebrating the Present. Cultivating the Future,” resonated deeply with me and the work I strive to do every day through Sisters in Purple and Got to Stop, LLC. 🌱🌸💜❤️
What made this recognition even more meaningful was the opportunity to reflect on the incredible women who have walked beside me throughout my journey. To the women in my family, my friends, mentors, sisters, and those who have loved, encouraged, challenged, and supported me along the way—thank you. Your strength, wisdom, prayers, and presence have carried me through some of life’s most difficult moments and celebrated me through its greatest joys. 💜🔺❤️💪🏽
As I accepted this honor, I thought about the women who helped me find my voice, reminded me of my worth, and stood in my corner even when I didn’t have the strength to stand for myself. So much of who I am and what I do is rooted in the love, guidance, and example of the women who have poured into my life.
I am grateful to be seen and celebrated, but I know I did not get here alone. This recognition is a reflection of the village of women who have helped shape me, uplifted me, and inspired me to keep going. Thank you to the Association of Black Social Workers NYC Chapter for this beautiful honor, and thank you my family and the women who continue to inspire, uplift, and support me every step of the way. 💜❤️🔺
Rooted in legacy. Blooming in excellence. Cultivating the future. 💐💜❤️
