Welcoming a Year of Growth and Opportunity
Embracing Blessings and Boldness for the New Year
As I sit down to write this, my heart is full of gratitude for the incredible journey this year has taken me on. It’s so crazy to think of all the ways I’ve grown personally, spiritually, and professionally, all in twelve short months. This time of year can be heavy for me at times. This year, even though I have found myself in the throws of a bipolar depressive episode that’s been hanging over me for the past couple of weeks, I can’t help but feel a flood of gratitude for the countless blessings and opportunities that have come my way. It’s been a year of firsts, expansions, and beautiful connections—each milestone reminding me that amazing things happen when we step out in faith!
And while the New Year promises fresh opportunities, I can’t step forward without first looking back and saying a heartfelt “thank you.”
Celebrating Milestones and Making Dreams Come True
A Year of Growth and Giving Back
One of the highlights of my year was producing and publishing my first solo anthology and docuview project, The Art of Womanhood: Fierce, Feminine, Fearless. This labor of love was more than just a book or documentary; it was a platform that allowed thirteen phenomenal women to share their stories and become international best-selling authors. Each woman brought a vibrant perspective, showing the power of what can happen when we dare to own our truths.
Alongside that project, I held my first Fierce, Feminine, and Fearless Women’s Virtual Summit, bringing together like-minded women for a powerful exchange of inspiration, wisdom, and courage. Witnessing everyone pour their hearts into the sessions reminded me how blessed I am to have the support of such powerful women and how that collective support can light up our entrepreneurial journeys.
Elevating Women-Owned Businesses
Helping other women entrepreneurs shine has always been the cornerstone of my mission. This past year, I supported seven women-owned companies in boosting their visibility and profits through digital marketing and strategic content. There’s nothing like watching another woman step into her greatness—whether she’s launching a new product line, making strides in her social media presence, or taking bold steps to elevate herself personally. Every success story—every increase in revenue, every social media milestone, every positive shift in brand perception—reminded me why I love what I do. Empowering women to thrive in their businesses is so much more than a job; it’s my calling.
I also launched a new blog series in November called “Courageous Conversations,” and let me tell you, the name couldn’t be more fitting. In just a few short weeks, I’ve published nine interviews with powerhouse women who are changing the world. These women have inspired me with their vulnerability, strength, and willingness to share wisdom—no matter how personal the story. These stories have been raw, real, and incredibly uplifting—beautiful reminders that vulnerability can open doors to deeper connections and collaboration.
Weathering Challenges and Trusting the Process
Of course, not every part of the journey was smooth sailing; entrepreneurship never is. Losing my Facebook pages with over 13,000 supporters was a setback I never saw coming, one that I thought would hurt my progress. It was a scary moment, watching years of hard work disappear instantly. However, I chose to lean into my faith and trust that this challenge would not define me or my brand. In fact, it has become a testament to the resilience of Back To Her. My business flourished through my community's unwavering support, a few Facebook ads, and a solid funnel. Sometimes, the doors that close redirect us to even bigger opportunities!
Reconnecting With My Faith
In the midst of all the hustle, I found myself drawn back to my faith. It can be easy to put spiritual well-being on the back burner when life is busy. But God had other plans. Through prayer, reflection, and learning to listen more deeply, I’ve felt guided to an even clearer vision of where my work is headed. It’s incredibly humbling and exciting to know that the best is yet to come.
Looking Ahead to 2025
Even with challenges, I can’t deny the momentum that’s built up this year. The forward motion is exhilarating, and I feel a strong sense of purpose guiding me into 2025. I plan to expand my programs, create more resources, and offer even more support for Sistas ready to use content marketing, digital strategy, and entrepreneurial courage to make their mark. I’m committed to uplifting women’s voices and stories, sparking transformational conversations, and helping more leaders achieve their brilliance.
In the upcoming year, I’ll be diving deeper into:
Creating powerful digital products and marketing strategies can elevate any business—regardless of its current stage.
Hosting more “Courageous Conversations” to amplify even more amazing women with stories worth telling.
Developing new collaborations because there’s nothing more fulfilling than growing together.
Staying rooted in faith is where true direction and purpose bloom.
An Invitation to Dream Bigger
If 2024 has taught me anything, we’re all capable of far more than we imagine. Sometimes, it takes a leap of faith or a little extra encouragement to bring our goals to life. I invite you to dream bigger for your journey this upcoming year. Whether you want to write a book, launch a podcast, grow a thriving online community, or simply spend more time creating what you love—go for it! And never forget that in the face of obstacles, your perseverance and faith can carry you through.
Thank You
While we embrace the hope and excitement of a new start, I want to thank each and every one of you who has been part of my journey—whether by purchasing a book, attending a summit, retaining my marketing services, reading the “Courageous Conversations,” or partnering with me in some way. Your support, encouragement, and collaboration have made all the difference.
Let’s keep our spirits high, our goals bold, and our hearts open. Here’s to conquering new dreams, forging meaningful connections, and continuing to uplift one another as we progress to 2025.
Cheers to a year filled with fierce faith, fearless action, and the kind of forward motion that changes lives—starting with our own.
Happy New Year, and may it be your most purpose-driven, fulfilling year yet!
