Last week, I had the privilege of facilitating a workshop with parents and then spending the following day providing professional development for teachers.

I am incredibly thankful to Kensington Community Development Corporation for funding this mental health and grief education project. Seeing former colleagues and walking alongside them in this work truly came full circle—and brought so much professional joy.

Coming up next, I’ll be facilitating The Grief Recovery Method® – Helping Children with Loss class series and working with a small group of students to educating them about grief.

A heartfelt thank you to Principal Gilliam and her amazing staff for their support, leadership, and commitment to their school
Together, we heal. 💙

Your Voice Heard, LLC had an incredible experience at Red Ribbon Wellness Day, hosted by the Middletown (DE) Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. We are truly grateful for the invitation and the opportunity to engage with the phenomenal community of Middletown, Delaware. ❤️

It was a joy to support my fellow Gwynedd Mercy University alum, Dr. Karla Johnson, and to experience the powerful synergy among the many organizations committed to wellness, prevention, and community empowerment. The spirit of collaboration was inspiring!

A special thank you to my intelligent, talented, and creative mentee-niece Imani, whose support was invaluable. She offered thoughtful insights into current Gen Z concerns—insights that beautifully align with Your Voice Heard’s mission to reduce the emotional, physical, and financial burdens of grief caused by trauma, loss, or significant life changes.

We appreciate the warm welcome and meaningful conversations. Middletown, we look forward to building more together! ❤️

On Monday, September 29, I had the honor of attending the AACCNJ Transformation Center Preview Launch Event! 🎉

This space is all about innovation and empowerment, and the AACCNJ team continues to inspire me with their vision and dedication to supporting businesses like mine. 💼✨

At the end of last year, AACCNJ connected me with M&T Bank, which helped me secure a small business loan that allowed Your Voice Heard LLC to scale. 🙌 And now, I am so excited to facilitate a 3-hour workshop, “Social Emotional Learning in Career Readiness,” through the AACCNJ Training and Development Institute.

Every day I get to wake up and do what I love—and AACCNJ has been a huge part of making that possible. Thank you for helping me impact lives locally, nationally, and globally! 🌍💜

This Wednesday I had the privilege of attending the AACCNJ 15th Annual Business Leadership Conference. As Founder & CEO of Your Voice Heard (YVH), I am intentional about gaining more business knowledge, extending my network, and serving as an instrument of change.

I connected with existing relationships, made new ones, and gleaned valuable insights from industry experts on best practices in public contracting, AI, workplace readiness, and innovation.

One powerful closing point for all leaders:
“Hitch your wagon to eagles… there are lots of buzzards in society… SUCCESS is in your DNA. Pursue it with INTENTIONALITY.”

The AACCNJ, an Accredited State Chamber of Commerce with Distinction, continues to make this kind of growth and connection possible.

I want to take a moment to thank the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for the invitation to today’s Region III meeting. 🙏🏾

I left feeling inspired by the phenomenal work being done in the public health space and honored to be part of the conversation. Your dedication is truly powerful.

💔 Grief walks into our classrooms every single day.

It doesn’t always look like the loss of a loved one. It shows up as:
✨ Trauma
✨ Bullying
✨ Family changes
✨ Moving
✨ Natural disasters
…and so much more.

Yet, most educators have never been trained to recognize or respond to grief in students.

📊 91% of educators want bereavement training.
📊 99% of educators agree grief negatively impacts learning.

👉 Question for you:
If a grieving student walked into your classroom tomorrow… would you know what to do?

It’s time to equip teachers, leaders, and parents with the tools to help kids heal — so they can learn, thrive, and feel safe again.
