The Queen Bee in Mee

I find it absolutely amazing that I tapped into my passion for young people just this past year, and now I have an unbelievable opportunity to begin turning that passion into action.

When Holly initially approached me about using my extensive leadership training to possibly come up with a program for the girls at the Hive, I had no idea of what, or even if I could create anything! Thankfully, one of my on-going prayers is that God simply use me as a vessel to influence and touch the lives of others in a positive way, and more specifically in these crucial times, the lives of our youth.

To compliment the theme of the "Hive," I came up with the program title, "The Queen Bee in Mee." As I learn to be the Queen of my beloved institution (Winston-Salem State University), I thought, "why not start early in the lives of these young girls, allowing them to recognize the Queen that lives in each one of them, and share with them the things I have learned throughout my life thus far, which have shaped me into the young woman I have grown to be? I made the mission of the program "To enhance the lives of young ladies by assisting them in identifying with the Queen that lives inside of each one of them." Throughout the next couple of weeks, the girls will be involved in various activities to encourage reading and writing, as well as activities that will boost their self-esteem. I will also use The Naked Truth, a book about sex, love and relationships, by Lakita Garth, to take a deeper look into the topics at hand.

As I brought the first Queen Bee in Mee class to a close, I realized that God has been, is, and always will be in control, and He opened this door of opportunity for me to serve at this awesome organization. Thank you God, for using me, as begin to walk in my destiny, starting with One Economy and the Hive.
