CONSISTENCY BUILT THESE LEGS. šŖš¾š„
Iāve always had a heart for fitness, and Iāve always had a vision of becoming a strong, athletic woman. But I canāt say Iāve always loved my legs.
Now? I realize they are of my greatest strengths.
These legs carry me through life. They carried me onto the bodybuilding stage. And ultimately, theyāre what led me straight into the Wellness Division. šš
Three days a week, I show up and WORK on these legs. Rep after rep. Set after set. Week after week.
The before and after isnāt about perfection. Itās about CONSISTENCY. You donāt have to change overnightāyou just have to keep showing up long enough to see what youāre capable of.
Theyāre strong.
Theyāre growing.
And Iām so proud of them. š
And letās not forgetā¦
THICK THIGHS SAVE LIVES. šš„

āThe magic youāre looking for is in the work youāre avoiding.ā š„
THIS hitās differently!!
People at work always ask, āhow do I look like you?ā My journey is hard. Disciplined. Focused. Intentional.
Iāve learned that you canāt ask for extraordinary results while giving ordinary effort.
So Iām showing upāin my career, my business, my family, my health, and for ME.
Not halfway. Not just when Iām motivated. Iām showing up at 100%.
The early mornings. The hard decisions. The sacrifices. The consistency when no one is watching.
Thatās where the magic lives.
Iām not waiting for the life I want.
Iām doing the work to become the woman I want. šŖš¾āØ

I was incredibly honored to be featured in this weekās Inside CDCR News highlighting my journeyāfrom losing 112 pounds to competing in bodybuilding while serving in a leadership role in the Office of Civil Rights.
I was grateful for the opportunity to share my story, but I never expected the overwhelming response that followed.
Over the past few days, Iāve received over 100 emails, messages, and conversations from colleagues across the department. While many congratulated me on the competition, what touched me most was hearing how my story made them feel.
One message brought me to tears:
āSeeing your strength in the Civil Rights Office and at your fitness competition meant so much to me. Seeing a Black woman thrive and be recognized in our department gives me hope and pride. Your journey shows me that we belong in these spaces and can succeed against the odds.ā
Others shared messages like:
š āYou are AMAZING!ā
š āI wanted to personally congratulate you⦠You looked amazing. Itās cool to see how great a group of individuals work for CDCR.ā
š āWhat an accomplishmentācongratulations!ā
š āYou go girl! Weāll go all the way to Vegas to support you!ā
Another colleague shared that my journey gave her hope that she, too, could lose over 100 poundsāsomething sheās dreamed about for years. Knowing that my story sparked hope in someone else is more meaningful than any trophy I could ever receive.
This experience reminded me that our stories matter. When we choose to show up authentically, celebrate our victories, and even share our struggles, we give others permission to believe in whatās possible for themselves.
Representation matters. Authenticity matters. Encouragement matters.
If sharing my journey has inspired even one person to take the first step toward a dream theyāve been putting off, then every challenge, every setback, and every early morning was worth it.
Keep showing up. You never know who youāre inspiring. ā¤ļø

Giving back to the sport that has given me so much. ā¤ļøš
Last night, I had the honor of presenting awards at the Governorās Cup Spectrum Productions bodybuilding show. As a former competitor, there was something incredibly special about celebrating the hard work, dedication, and success of these amazing athletes. Watching the ladies shine on stage was just as rewarding as competing myself.
Iām so grateful for the opportunity, and I had an absolute blast working alongside the incredible team handing out awards. We shared so many laughs, created lasting memories, and built new friendships that Iāll cherish.
My heart is full. Hereās to celebrating others and continuing to give back to this amazing community. āØšŖš¾š«¶š¾

Two weeks post-show, and while my season has changed, my habits havenāt.
This muscle mommy is still showing up to the gym. Still chasing progress. Still building the life Iāve worked so hard for.
The biggest difference? Iām learning to be intentional about eating more as I work through a clean bulk. Iām also giving back to the relationships that quietly sacrificed during prepāthe brunches I skipped, the celebrations I passed on, and the little moments I put on hold while pursuing a dream.
Today, that looked like brunch with a dear friend. Maybe tomorrow itās sharing a cupcake or cake pop with my son, or finally ordering the latte Iāve been passing up for the last 18 months.
Iāve realized that health isnāt just about saying āno.ā Itās also about knowing when itās okay to say āyes.ā
Life is made up of seasons. Some require intense discipline. Others invite us to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the people we love. The beauty is knowing that when the next goal comes calling, I already know how to buckle back up.
For now, Iām choosing balance, gratitude, and making memoriesāone intentional bite at a time. š

3 days of being on cloud 9 š„³š¤© I didnāt just wake up and find myself on the stage.
Itās time to reveal WHY this journey has been both the hardest and most rewarding thing Iāve ever done.
šØ 235 lbs (my heaviest) to 118 lbs šØ
Those numbers tell part of the story, but they donāt tell you about the blood, sweat, and tears it took to get here. They donāt tell you about the nights I cried myself to sleep feeling defeated. They donāt tell you about the days I wanted to quit, throw in the towel, or maybe even cuss 𤬠out my trainer because the process felt impossible. š„ŗ
This journey was never just about losing weight.
It was about finding myself.
After multiple pregnancy losses š¢š¤°š¾ heartbreak š , self-doubt š¤Ø, and years of carrying pain š„ that no one could see, I had a choice: stay where I was or fight for the life I deserved.
Today, I stand here as a mother, an athlete, and a woman who finally believes she is enough.
This journey saved my life.
Not because I became smaller, but because I became stronger. šŖš¾
For the first time in a very long time, I am no longer ashamed of my story. Iām proud of it. Every scar, every setback, every obstacle helped create the woman standing here today.
So if youāre struggling, if youāre carrying the weight of disappointment, loss, or self-doubt, let me be proof that change is possible.
You are capable of more than you know.
You are worthy of becoming the strongest version of yourself.
And no matter how impossible the journey feels today, keep going.
Because one day youāll look back and realize that every tear was worth it.
3 days done and still thriving š¤©
More to comeā¦IāM NOT DONE!

The night before I was worried I wouldnāt fill out. Now Iām asking, whoās that girl?
I simply cannot believe what the body does and how amazing God is. I was literally a science project with my coach and legit we busted the code for a successful peak week.
