Me in 2021

In 2008, it all began here. This lake – my childhood escape – ignited a lifelong passion for the outdoors. I visited almost daily for over a decade, and today, there’s even a trail named after me: ‘Black Girl.’

I’m actually terrified of heights the suspension bridge was challenging.

The Amicalola Falls, Crazy to think I’ve been coming here since 2004

The Hike that challenged me : Yonah Mountain. “When you’re lost in nature, you’re never truly alone.”
“The wilderness teaches us humility and reminds us of our place in the grand scheme of things.”
Ohh Life Teen Retreats! The moment after 6 am prayer session best feeling ever!

My early twenties were richly blessed by six years of volunteering as a Catholic catechist. Those years were truly the highlight of that period. In 2023, I embarked on a year of intense spiritual exploration dubbed “my year of divergence”, attending 185 masses and committing to a daily rosary. I sought discernment in 2024, Although my heart longs to return to catechism in 2025. I am incredibly thankful for all the Lord has put before me in 2025 . Catechism is looking promising in 2026, hoping to rekindle the joy I found in that commitment.
