Relocating taught me many lessons, but one of the most unexpected was this: sometimes God answers your prayers not with money or speed, but with people . While rebuilding my life in a new country, I also had a home in Jamaica that needed renovation. I couldn’t be there full-time. I couldn’t oversee every detail. And honestly, that scared me. But what happened next reminded me - once again - that success is never solo . When Your Friends Become Your Hands and Feet The work was

When I migrated, one of the very first realities that hit me was transportation . In my mind, I expected it to be different. In real life, I had to live  the difference. On paper, the options are simple: You either drive, You are driven, You take public transportation, Or you take a cab.

My Vision Board for 2026 is not a random

There are years that pass quietly, almost unnoticed - measured only by calendars and routine. And then there are years that stretch you , strip you, rebuild you, and leave you standing different from when you began. 2025 was that year for me. I crossed into it carrying the residue of one of the biggest decisions of my life: migrating to the United States at the end of 2024. Migration, I’ve learned, is not just about geography. It is emotional dislocation, financial recalibrat

Before the calendar turns and the pressure of a new year settles in, there is a conversation worth having - quietly, honestly, and without judgment. It’s not about resolutions yet. It’s not about fixing everything. It’s about reflection . Year-end has a way of stirring up mixed emotions around money. For some, there’s pride in progress made. For others, there’s disappointment over goals left unfinished. And for many, there’s a familiar undercurrent of guilt. But guilt has nev
