What’s up y’all?! It’s been sooo long since I’ve recorded a solo episode, like almost two months, which is crazy. But seeing as this episode falls on my birthday, I HAD to go solo and share just how much I’ve grown over the last year.
Currently it’s April 22nd, 4 days before my 23rd birthday, and I wanted to record this episode at the latest possible time on purpose. I really wanted to be as accurate as possible with where I am right now, so let’s first run down the biggest milestones I’ve had within the last year. And then I’m going to share the biggest lessons I’ve learned!
Milestone #1
I Graduated From College

Milestone #8

It is so crazy to see the literal 180 my life has done during Year 22. Year 23 is my time to apply nonstop pressure, so I hope y’all are ready for it. I’m not letting up on anybody’s necks, and it’s going to be the best thing ever!
So stay tuned, stay boujee and bossed up, and I’ll catch you later!
