Topics I speak on are ~Self-Control ~Tenacity ~Entitlement ~Power of Words I am one of twins and sometimes one twin is born with health problems. At age seven my family moved to Cadillac a small city in MI. In 1985 things were different back then Doctors had to travel to so new procedures could be demonstrated. During the first time an Esophageal Dilation was done on me they had left me open too long. Somehow I received my 1st challenge to overcome a winged shoulder blade. When I was 10 years old I had a gastric pull-up surgery so I would not need to have any more dilation. Due to that surgery, I lost the use of my left lung. The left common carotid artery ruptured and had to be removed. I also received impaired vocal fold mobility. Without the help of great people coaching me to grow beyond my limits, I would have done nothing with my life. Now at 40, I have done more with 1/2 of what most people take for granted. So now its time to give back. Want to know more visit my website http://www.healthypathservices.com

I make sure folx who know me well, know that I don’t cook on purpose, not even for my child. That didn’t stop me from owning two bbq restaurants with my husband, Bigmista. As much as I hated being in the kitchen, I Ioved being around good people and making sure they got some love that day. In my role as Mrs. Mista, I was not only the boss mother to my staff, I was the manager mother to my customers. It was during my times of holding someone’s baby while they ate and checking on folx who had been MIA for a while that my mother vibe would shine. I supported them in their business endeavors as much as they supported mine. This was never more evident then when Bigmista and I showed up at a head banger club to support one of our customer’s bands. We were two big old black folx in a sea of white 20-something kids with spiked hair, black clothes and loud ass punk music. But, as much as I loved my restaurant family I knew it wasn’t for me. I started studying to become a certified business coach to get away from the restaurant world. In my effort to get clients I suppressed my mother vibe. I put on some fake ass persona in order to appear more professional. I ended up giving away more coaching than I got paid for. When I got started on my 4th certification I fell into my happy place. The information they gave me to become a brand coach was not enough. I had to go all in. I began to dig in and research to understand branding. I paid for classes, read books and watched videos. I knew this was the life for me but imposter syndrome was kicking my ass. I didn’t feel qualified or worthy to tell folx about their brand especially since my shit was raggedy. It was at my raggediest that I found brand strategy. Brand strategy helped me embrace my Ghetto Country. Telling folx I was raised hood adjacent by a country momma is a homage to my roots. It's a deeper meaning than most folx would believe and has its own origin story. Saying I'm Ghetto Country is not something I say without thought. Embracing my ghetto country allows me to be bold in how I speak (bad English and all) and how I represent the hood. The more I owned that part of my brand, the more people (leads) began to gravitate towards me. I also knew I had to bring back my mother vibe and embrace family, especially my family. It wasn’t until I put a some effort into my personal brand that the Brandmother emerged. The Ghetto Country Brandmother® is so much a part of me but not all of me. She’s a bit bolder in her pursuit to help introverted late bloomers get authentically branded as fuck. She is persistent where I might walk away. She’s caring where I sometimes don’t give a fuck. Nevertheless she’s just as vulnerable and transparent as me. The Ghetto Country Brandmother® journey is still unfolding.
