I couldn't be happier for my business partner that has become my family for this next chapter in his professional journey.

My big brother, Dr. Robert C.K. Harper, is the embodiment of subject matter expert and servant leader and the launch of his personal brand website, drrobertharper.com, is where he's sharing all that he's been doing these past several years to impact young people and communities across the country.

And of course, we had the privilege of handling the development and design of his website so show him some love and check out all the amazing work The HOPE Initiative does to effect positive change for all who benefit from the organization's work.

As the leader of the HOPE Initiative, I’ve always believed in the power of transparency and connection, and today I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new professional website! This online hub is more than just a portfolio — it’s a reflection of my journey, the causes that drive me, and the work I’m honored to be part of. So, whether you’re interested in collaboration, networking, or just want to say hi, feel free to explore and connect. Thank you to all who have supported me along the way and let’s continue building something meaningful together!

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - Mississippi & Louisiana 2024 Visionaries of the Year Campaign kicks off tomorrow and I’m incredibly excited for this year’s group of candidates and I’m especially thankful to Danielle Franklin Detiege, Chelsea Creel, Shaq Cosse, Arlanda Williams, and Frances Love Harris Lmt for your commitment to this meaningful cause and for your YES.

And a special thank you to Kentrell Jones for serving on this year’s Leadership Team with me.

Throughout the next ten weeks, each VOTY candidate, along with his or her team members, will help anchor the LLS mission work and act as an echo chamber to amplify the organization’s critical research, advocacy, and patient support pillars.

Together, they will do what they can to promote the mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families in the Greater New Orleans region and I am looking forward to supporting each one of them.

And I am humbled to share that I have been asked to Chair the 2025 Leadership Team so I will be actively recruiting for the 2025 Visionaries of the Year Candidate Class starting NOW so if you’re ready to answer the call to help “Cancel Blood Cancer,” let’s get after it!!!

Thank you, Jeran Culina, and Business Leaders United for highlighting me and my work during Women's History Month, as well as giving me the opportunity to amplify the work we are doing collaboratively and collectively to foster economic and social impact along with prioritize racial equity in workforce development initiatives now and into the future.

"I am proud to be aligned with the work that Business Leaders United and National Skills Coalition is doing every day to ensure the facilitation of inclusive, high-quality skills training that enables people across industry to access a better life while helping local businesses see sustained growth. As an entrepreneur that wears many hats daily, knowing that BLU and NSC are advocating for me as an employer as well as for the people I rely on to work with me to keep my businesses and interests moving forward progressively definitely gives me peace of mind."

Can't wait to see what else we, along with Jeffrey Connor-Naylor and the BLU team, can do to ensure that skills training for employees through employer-led workforce development initiatives continues to be transformational for the landscapes and people we serve.

On the first day of Women’s History Month, I can FINALLY share my feature in this year’s Social Northshore “Women of Excellence” issue.

Thank you to Trish Trahan and Jen Meadows Photography for including me in this space of phenomenal women and for allowing me to share this special moment with WE Social!!!

THIS IS ###IX…

Young Queen Mother is about to do her REALLY BIG ONE this year!!!

I can’t even put into words how I feel at this point to mark the beginning of my annual rebirth. Waking up to birthday gifts from my Krewe and all this love from friends, family, and colleagues all over the universe via calls, texts, emails, and social platform posts and messages has made me feel like the most special girl in world.

THANK YOU to each of you that has taken time out of your day to acknowledge me. It means more to me than you will ever know. I will sit in the moment of getting older reading all of your well wishes with a big smile on my face and pure joy in my heart!!!
