the memo

She walked the cold streets with two dolllars in a pocket.  With a bit of hope, she walked into a chuch, sat there soaking up wisdom, was encourged to hang in there.  Soon after, she recieved a part time job at a magazine which become that thing that tranformed her life.

She is Susan L. Taylor.

Many of us, have read her collumn at Essence, taking in her motherly wisdom, becoming a litle bitter.

More than the person who was the editor in cheif of Essence Magazine. She was bold enough to take the magazine to places that the founders had never envisioned. 

Despite all the circumstances, a broken marriage and being marriage, she came up with solutions for herself. Taking a small opportunity, she is speaker, an author, and a college graduate.  She even has a mentoring program for young people.  The fact she opens up about her own life in order to make others better is her best accomplishment.  The fact she gave a young lady hope as she reading her book, not in the best neighborhood, knowing this was a circumstance but not reality.

I love this lion. She knows how to roar in the jungle.

all hail to the queen.

have a productive week
