My Core Values

    I could write a book about my core values but to keep it brief I'll only do 5. They are pride, self-discipline, family, loyalty, and inclusion. Pride is important to me because I feel that it's very important to take pride in who you are every day and be your best self. It helps keep a positive vibe within that I feel everyone needs. Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, stay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you're feeling, physically, or emotionally. I do this every day as a parent for the last three years and it has really help shape who've I've become. From endless nights studying to graduating, working multiple jobs to keep us afloat, all while balancing what I'm going through emotionally at home and at work. I take pride in it as my son has pushed me to limits, I didn't know I could blow past in this life. Family is very important to me because they helped mold me into the person I am, having people in my corner that love me unconditionally. I wouldn't be where I am without my village pushing me to preserve through everything life throws at me, and that's something I'm grateful for. Loyalty because it's important to be reliable and dependable, within friendships, relationships, and even in our communities. Lastly, inclusion because we need to accept all members of society for who they are, despite disabilities, the color of their skin and etc. As someone who works with kids with autism, we push for inclusion every single day to ensure they can grow into their full potential.

    Integrity, confidence, and being a leader. Three things rapper Nipsey Hussle said that he said that says to his daughter every day, very important core values to have and be taught at a young age. I attached a TikTok video of one of his interviews before he passed in 2019. I connected with this because it reminded me of things my dad would say to my siblings and I daily. I lost him in 2017, and I felt like he was a huge foundation to me and my siblings' values and how we carry ourselves.
