Essentials with Ki

On my grandma’s wall, in permanent marker, I wrote:

Luxury is a necessity.
Every day is my birthday.
I am the ambassador of my bloodline.

I had a vision. I had a plan. And I had no idea how differently God would lead me there.

The road took me through losing my studio, losing my home, and nearly losing my life. Some valleys I couldn’t rush through. Some things I had to let go of. Some seasons, faith meant taking the next step before I could see where it would land.

Through it all, I kept creating.

And as my own plans fell apart, I learned to trust God with the vision I’d been holding so tight. I could still dream, still work, still choose. But I could also let Him lead me somewhere greater than I knew to ask for.

Then came an invitation.

I messaged Coach Sheila Monique while she was in Atlanta, and she told me to come. I walked in and just stood there, not sure where I belonged.

Then Coach Candice Holyfield said, "You can sit with us."

So I sat. I told my story. And those women surrounded me and spoke life over me:

"Talitha koum."
Little girl, arise. (Mark 5:41)

I had spent so long finding the strength to keep going. In that room, I finally got to receive some.

Then Niki looked at me and said, "Girl, you don’t look like what you been through," and handed me a ticket to Stormy’s birthday weekend.

On registration day, thirty minutes before I got there, my bumper fell off.

Embarrassed, I parked in the back lot. Mine was the only car out there. As I walked out of registration, a Rolls-Royce pulled in four spaces from mine.

It was Stormy.

"Hey, Stormy."

"Hey, girl."

So simple. But after everything it took to get there, the timing was so divinely perfect it scared me.

The next day was the Pinnacle. I was the poorest woman in that room, and I had the most fun. I laughed. I danced. I celebrated. I let myself belong.

I came for Stormy. I left seeing the community, the leadership, and the possibility she built around her, and wondering what I could build, too.

That weekend changed my life.

Today, more than a year later, here I am. Lighter in every way. Walking on my own, with the support of my 1000 Families Rich community. Excited about life again. I’ve changed environments and everything in between, and I’ve found a brand new hope.

Farmasi is one of the vehicles helping me live that vision every day. Taking care of myself. Sharing what I use and love. Learning to build a business. Growing next to people who push me to show up and keep going.

Through Essentials With Ki and 1000 Families Rich, I’m bringing wellness, beauty, creativity, and opportunity into the bigger world I’ve always dreamed of.

The KiVerse.

I’m still becoming. Still being pruned. Still finding out how much greater God’s plan is than the one I first wrote for myself.

And I’m building as I grow, with faith, with community, and one real step at a time.

Welcome to the KiVerse. There’s room for you to create here, too.
