The ESSENCE of "How We Do It"

It's not every evening that you get a text from a friend that says, I just opened ESSENCE MAGAZINE and you are on page 136.

I have known since March that I was chosen to be the July issue's "How She Does It" woman, but I had only told two friends.  It's not that I'm not excited, I'm actually very proud.  If you had told me eight years ago that I would know how to manage the life I have now, I would have fallen on the floor laughing. 

 My hesitance was more related to how common my story feels.
