And the truth is…

It’s happening every single day.

Not because those speakers are “more qualified.”
Not because they have millions of followers.
Not because they got lucky.

They learned how to position their expertise, package their message, and build relationships that lead to paid opportunities.

Most experts are sitting on valuable knowledge…
but they’re still speaking for “exposure” because nobody taught them the BUSINESS of speaking.

That’s why I created the From Free to a Fee 3 Day Speaker Bootcamp.

June 9–11

Inside, I’m teaching you:
✔ how to position yourself as a paid speaker
✔ how to stop speaking for free
✔ how to pitch strategically
✔ how to build a speaking pipeline
✔ how to turn your message into rivers of income

Because your voice has value and deserves a bank account.

Everybody wants the big stage.
But the truth is…

Big moments are built from small wins repeated consistently.

One pitch.
One post.
One practice run.
One room.
One connection.
One more rep.

That’s how speaking businesses are built.

Not overnight.
Not all at once.
But through consistency nobody claps for in the beginning.

This video is a reminder that success usually doesn’t “suddenly happen.”

What looks like an overnight win is often years of preparation, discipline, and showing up anyway.

Small wins every day eventually turn into big dividends.
Big opportunities.
Big checks.

And if you’re tired of speaking for exposure and ready to build a REAL strategy for getting booked and paid, join me for the:

FROM FREE TO A FEE BOOTCAMP
🗓 June 9–11

For 3 days, I’m teaching speakers how to:
✔ Build a consistent speaking pipeline
✔ Position themselves professionally
✔ Create visibility that leads to bookings
✔ Stop waiting to be “discovered”
✔ Turn speaking into revenue

Because consistency pays.

Everybody thinks you need a huge following to get booked to speak.

You don’t.

I’m literally in California right now for a speaking engagement…
and this opportunity did NOT come because I went viral.

It came through what I call:
Your First Degree of Separation.

There is somebody right now…
who already knows you,
likes you,
trusts you,
and is connected to the person tied to your next check.

That’s how a lot of great speaking opportunities happen.

Not because “everybody knows you.”
But because the RIGHT people know you.

So instead of obsessing over followers…
start building relationships.

Here’s your assignment:

Make a list of 10 people who:
✔ already know you
✔ respect your work
✔ are connected to organizations, events, schools, churches, corporations, or conferences

Then send them a message:

“Hey, I’m speaking more on [your topic]. If you know anyone who may need this conversation, I’d love an introduction.”

That one message could change everything.

Your next four-figure or more speaking opportunity may already be in your network.
You just haven’t activated it yet.

And if you want to learn how to position yiuourself as a PAID speaker instead of constantly speaking for free…

Join me for my 3-Day Bootcamp:
FROM FREE TO A FEE
🗓 June 9–11

I’m teaching you how to:
✔ position yourself as a paid speaker
✔ package your message
✔ pitch strategically
✔ and land your first or next 4-figure speaking deal

Because visibility is great…
but strategy gets you booked.

🎬 IT'S OFFICIAL. And I am one proud mama.

Houston, meet Used to Be.

Off CNTR Productions is proud to announce the Red Carpet World Premiere of Used to Be, a short film written, produced, and starring my baby girl, Nia Calise. She is 17 years old. She had a story to tell. And she told it.

I have watched this child dream her whole life. But there is something completely different about watching your child's dream actually come true, and being blessed enough to walk alongside her while it does.

As her mother and her Executive Producer, I can tell you that what she has created is something special. Something deep. Something the world needs to see.

Used to Be is a story about a Black family. About financial struggle. About a father who left and the daughter who never stopped wondering why. About a mother who held everything together when it was all falling apart. And ultimately, about what healing looks like when you finally admit you need help.

RED CARPET WORLD PREMIERE
Saturday, June 20, 2026
7:30 PM
The Match Theater | 3400 Main Street, Houston, TX
Tickets: usedtobefilm.com
VIP & General Admission tickets available
VIP guests join us for an exclusive cast reception at 7:00 PM (limited tickets)

Thank you to our main cast and our director

We could not have done this without you. There are so many more people who worked behind the scenes to make this happen that I will thank in another post but know that the village was activated!

If you'd like to be a part of bringing this story to the world through sponsorship even if you can not be in the room, I would love to connect with you. Sponsorship packages start at just $100 and every dollar goes directly toward getting this film the platform it deserves. Inbox me or reach out to me directly at [email protected] or 281-892-2380.

Houston, come celebrate my baby!! Tag someone who needs to be in that room.

It's personal for me....

This month is Mental Health Awareness Month and National Nurses Month.

The work of pouring in to the mental wellbeing of professionals and leaders who are responsible for the care of others is one I am honored to do. The work this group of nursing professionals at Samuel Merritt University has to do daily is heavy. If nurses are burnt out and unavailable to do this work, you, I, nor our families will make it. We depend on them in the most critical moments of our lives and that of our loved ones.

Becoming fireproof using my Power of One framework, I taught them to stop burning out and instead burn bright. The truth is they won't be able to avoid the heat but they don't have to be consumed by the fire.

The conversation was deep, meaningful and transformative. And when one night nurse said that I put into words his daily experience that he never knew how to articulate and he felt seen and heard...my mission was accomplished.

I love my job!

If you need this conversation brought to your workplace or team lets talk!

05/05/2026

Some of you are doing the MOST....

Speaking everywhere.
Saying yes to every opportunity.
Creating new talks every time you’re asked.

And still…

Not getting paid.

Let me be clear:

Doing more is NOT the strategy.

Paid speakers are known for ONE thing.
They solve ONE problem.
They have ONE system that gets them booked.

If your message isn’t clear…
your value isn’t obvious.

And if your value isn’t obvious?

You’ll stay visible… but unpaid.

I’m breaking this ALL down LIVE tonight.

If you’re still speaking for exposure…
we need to fix that.

Comment PAID or grab your spot at 7 pm Tonight: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/lBsR2EOqQq-nlgf5gIVi0g

Tag your speaker friends who need to get paid!!

Dallas and the GACC Adolecent & Ladies Symposium don't owe me anything!! A time was had in the Lord.

The Godly View Table talk segment was phenomenal. The deep thoughtful spirit filled discussion was moving. The nuggets and gems dropped from each speaker were so timely and needed for the world we live in today. Thank you Harolyn C Bell and Lea Spencer for trusting me with such an important topic and task.

And thank you Alisha Hawkins for always taking such good care of me when I come to town. And to my Facilitator for the day Yvonne Johnson you made my day easier and simplier. Thank you. It is always so good for my heart to be surrounded by my sisters. Until next time.
