​

1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? 

​

The Prophet. I love hat it talks about elements of love and life and purpose and friendship and that it’s timeless. It was written decades ago and if I were to read it in 2000 years, it would still make sense.

​

2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today?

 

Innocence. When I was young I used to take everything at face value. I wouldn’t hesitate to smile. If I saw someone struggling, I’d get emotional and try to help them.

​

3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? 

 

My journal.

​

4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be?

 

My Dad I remember so many lessons that he taught me as a child. he would tell me old stories of growing up in Jamaica  and what he has learned about life. 

​

5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? 

I need to put myself first in order to be able to give to others. When I feel depleted, it’s because I didn’t honor my boundaries.

​

6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? 

 

Forgive yourself for being hard on yourself and tying your happiness to whether or not people welcomed you into their lives.

​

7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? 

 

Truly lived and owned her own story.
