I hold 2 college degrees, and am a college professor at 4 colleges. When I’m not teaching I’m writing music. I live life by my own rules!

I love having the wisdom I do based on years of personal experiences! I love that I can be completely myself and not care what anyone thinks of me. I love that I have the courage to use my voice when I need to protect myself and others. I love that I have read so many books and still remain very curious! 🤓
How do you stay fabulous?I keep healthy emotional boundaries with family, friends, and acquaintances. I balance work with play. I do not prioritize work. I prioritize my life. I’d rather live paycheck to paycheck and spend my time on my own terms rather then spend all my living hours working to live comfortably and barely having any time to enjoy things that matter, like connecting to nature, laughing, listening to music, creating social bonds and creating and appreciating art!
What would you do with the $40,000?First I’d pay off my student debt and credit debt! Then, with that financial freedom I would invest the rest into a music project for women by women. That would be the dream. To create and publish music for my own generation and then be able to open doors for the next. As 40+ women we want to hear our voices and our stories being told, not just the artists in their 20’s who sing about life when they’ve just started living it! We’ve got a whole lot more to be written and sang about!
