I can’t believe it’s been ONE WHOLE YEAR!!

I built this blog word by word and it’s with my deepest thanks that each of you had decided to journey with me. I am humbled by each of you in the unLeeshed circle! You could be anywhere, and you’ve chosen to be here with me.

I’ve learned a lot about myself in the past year sharing with y’all. I love writing and many of the posts shared with you started in my daily journal. I constantly fight imposter syndrome when coming here. God will call each of us, the courage is in the answering. I certainly haven’t been flawless, but I never promised to be. I’m committed to showing up as myself, wearing my things, and exploring my faith in real time. I still struggle to consider myself an influencer, for me this is so much more.

I’ll always love sharing about a deal or something I love but really I want my circle to come here and see a version of themselves they’ve either never seen or forgotten. One of my favorite things about Jesus is that he took his time with people. Really saw them, heard them, validated some, confirmed others, redeemed all. My hope is that you’re seen here, heard here, validated here, confirmed here.

My mission is to remind, educate, encourage, and empower.

My vision is for women to know they have no limit because she has discovered herself and her purpose. She lives brilliantly and beautifully, taking up space in the world having the knowledge of heart and mind that she is worthy of all God has for her. She is unstoppable, she is at home in herself, she is wearing her things, she is living a life full, she has seen and believed the Lord, she is unLeeshed.

I have so many ideas for this second year, but I want to hear from you too! I am working on becoming more disciplined with writing, formatting and sharing consistently. I’d love to merge more content from other social media platforms here as well. I have plans to collaborate with other creators and brands I love as well as interview some really dope people.
