Just some love, hope and transparency
Can I give some of us who need it hope?? I took a moment to write this to anyone who need to see what is possible.
I wanted to be more present on the panel and the internet said... Not today. That's because I had a message.
Thank you @AshleyNicoleKirkwood and SYWTC Dean of Students Micca Watson for the opportunity to be a speaker amongst such amazing and powerful panelist.
I'm going to be very transparent with you. These are all my words. No AI and no fluff...
I work a full-time job where the environment is not welcoming, more hostile than not, can be exhausting and emotionally taxing. Most days I want to quit, cry or stand up and defend myself, my Integrity and my faith because there are so many here who openly denounce God.
The war is real and I have learned to understand how I am to learn, lean in and leverage my experiences in this season to evolve, build, brand and expand.
B.7.Ā.V.E. started out as a focus on the Professional Single Black Mother to empower, equip and engage with others like me to transform and know that the challenges we face are not faced alone.
We are not faceless, nameless and unworthy of love, support, and being included. We are called, purposed, passionate, visionaries, valued, respected and resilient as Mothers, friends, innovators, leaders and legacies builders. We are more than just moms, baby momma's, givers and caretakers.
At the Houston Summit, Ashley, said, her Single Mother friends don't need what I have to offer and I needed to essentially find a different path to identify what they really needed and to look beyond just single mothers. So I took on her challenge.
I want you who are still employed full-time, part-time or seasonally... It is possible,worth betting on yourself and standing firm in your belief, your walk and your possibilities.
I heard your question about working on a job and working to build and become what God has called for your life to help others and yourselves. I get it and I'm walking along side of you. It's a challenge, it can be down right hard, feel like you want to just quit and give up (that's too easy), juggling it all and crying, praying, hoping someone comes to fix it or do it for you... I ask that you consider...
Making a choice, create consistency and work through a lot of decision-making, structure, strategies, organization, and yes your framework you who are called and what you are called for will come. Pray about everything. Worry about nothing. Know that God got us. Just dont give up.
I'm sharing this with you to give you hope, anticipation and joy in making decisions that with impact your family and create legacies and allow you to openly help others, love on others and show the world how to treat people right and do good things in the world.
I haven't made my 5 or 6 figures yet and I believe it's coming soon. Just don't quit and know if you trust the process and work with the tools and resources Ashley is blessing us with? Who else gives or has given at the level she has for the access she has provided us????? I have yet to meet 1 personally.
My most recent experiences...
I took a business trip to Florida earlier this month with my son for my other business beyond B.7.Ā.V.E. Manifestations, which is for financial services. Before leaving all was well with B.7.Ā.V.E., home, working on the "job" and my daily post were performing well and I saw traction. It was my son's last week in trade school and he is graduating in June and money in my bank account. So joy, excitement and prosperity was a clear vision.
Well... upon returning home...
I discovered my water heater went out while we were away, some things were damaged and my entire house is a mess.
My son was hit from behind before we left and I had taken my car to have the repairs done when were returned and got a call saying they were going to total my car because the repairs cost more than the car... lol.
My job is redoing my department and of course I'm not clear as to what that all means on top of my job taking money out my check for "accounts receivables". I will not say for how long... just know it was never authorized by me and for what specifically has not been disclosed and that in itself is illegal. They still have not produced the proof of authorization and God is going to work it out... Yes He is!
And my on the job injury is not being covered, my braces under my insurance plan that I pay for monthly is not being covered and I have to call on that again. I got sick and began having more headaches every time I go to the "job" now... more and more.
My other car is still in the shop waiting on a technician to fix 1 hose after everything else... so I've been in an Uber since September of last year because my son commutes to and from school daily.
And... my dad has pancreatic cancer, late stages of course with no cure and he just started chemotherapy a year after he had a Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) in his heart to keep him alive...
And yes... I am meeting with an Executive on Monday (20 minutes during my lunch break) I have a potential client who rescheduled our call 2 of 3 time (1st onw was on me) and we are on the calendar for Thursday night at 7pm and yes... I will be recording next weekend for 30 days of content and yes I will be posting this week and I am pitching daily. Oh and yes! I will be speaking to a group of youth 1 time each month starting next month who are in the foster system. And yes! I am sharing the BWSL Summit for September 24th-28th and I have my flight and room paid for...
So. I'm sharing these things to say... I ask myself daily not to stop with these and so many other reasons not to quit. So don't your feel like you are alone and decide daily... hourly... by the minute... Just keep deciding... every decision forward is a win... Celebrate it!
Have hope because sometimes hope is all you have to lean on.
Keep your faith because God will never fail us even when we feel we are failing ourselves and others.
Love... Love on yourself evem when it feels like the world has none for you.
Laugh and smile and laugh harder because life will keep lifing whether we like it or not and...
Forgive.... forgive even when we no longer know what to forgive and why we should.... just start with forgiving yourself first.
And finally.... Be.
Be B.7.Ā.V.E,
Be Boundless.
Be R(7)edeemed.
Be Ānointed
Be Victorious.
Be Empowered.
Just BE... and know that you got this and you are made for this and you are not alone in this journey.
I'm right there with you...
Love me,
Nakia Franklin ❤️
