In 2009, she was giving the opportunity to be the vision and writer behind Black Professional Women Blog. Black Professional Women Blog (BPWB) has been a vessel to encourage and to bring more awareness to our women of color and specifically to the professional woman. 

In our community, there is not enough uplifting of one another.  There has to be a change. The first step to change is to recognize there is a need. Then we must do something about it.  Her desire is to bring a stronger bond of sisterhood to a level of comfort; to helping one another to achieve their dreams. 

She has made steps toward that change by creating two segments.  Business Tells where several entrepreneurs have shared their experience as a business owner. By sharing their journey with others gives a road map to guide others to achieving their dreams. 

Artistic Women is where she features women that have artistic gifts. These women have allowed her to put the spotlight on their heavenly gifts. This allows the world know that they exist and are ready to take it on.
