Episode Description
I started running in July 2013. I knew I needed some consistency in my exercise regimen to combat the weight I was gaining. Since that time, My WHY has continually evolved. I met a member of Black Girls Run (BGR) at a wedding on a Sunday and committed to a meet up on that Monday with no intentions of attending again. There were so many barriers in my mind. The voice in my head said, they meet too early, I don’t know anyone, running is going to kill my knees and what in the world am I going to do with my hair? Who knew how my YES to running would open up a world of adventure and opportunity. Nine years later, I am a marathoner, a swimmer and a cyclist. I arrived here not by talent. Each accomplishment has taken discipline, determination and accountability. This trifecta has helped me to develop some BE attitudes to conquer my fears and accomplish success on and off the asphalt. With a professional career spanning over 25 years, I’ve taken a special interest in educating people about finances and wealth creation. In 2020, I launched Dimiprinciples LLC- Wisdom is the principal thing. Get wisdom but in all your getting, get understanding. With this platform, I’ve created intimate spaces for women to have candid conversations about finances. Based upon my experience in the finance industry, I’ve learned that too many women are struggling in silence concerning finances while giving the appearance of having it all together. I provide women with the tools needed to shift their money mindset and gain financial freedom. I show women that with discipline, determination and accountability they can go from doing ordinary things to accomplishing extraordinary things.
Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity

Resilience isn’t about bouncing back, but bouncing forward. Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity brings powerful stories and fearless conversations from experts in the field of business, relationships, emotional, physical and mental health, and faith-based communities together to give practical insight on how there is always a flip side to every story. Each episode creates a brave space that combines proven lessons from neuroscience, powerful tools from authentic connection, key principles from life lessons, and practical promises from faith-based insights. Trauma, toxic stress, broken habits and hurting hearts don’t define destiny, but peace isn’t passive. It requires an exchange. To create a flip and access peace in the middle of the pieces, you are challenged to make an exchange of the lies that have kept you mentally hostage in basement moments for a Steps of Growth framework, which cultivates a shift toward growth planning and forward movement.
