Black in Cincinnati: 'I love who I have become'

I am no stranger to hard work, long hours, sleepless nights, feeling degraded, feeling harassed, and having to sacrifice. I do this for my children, for my family, for those who thought that a single mom with three little children would never amount to anything. I have gained and lost friends along the way, experienced failed relationships, bankruptcy, and foreclosure. At age 46, I’m at a place of peace in my life. I love who I have become, the life I have created for me and my family and the fact that I make a living doing what I love. I still struggle and we still go through rough patches. But I continue to walk my path. I realized that my journey is both a test and testimony.
