What inspired you to write this book?

My inspiration for writing The Wynning Way: A Guide to Creating Success Your Way came after overcoming two major life events: First, I lost my beloved mother to a myriad of health issues (from stomach cancer to diabetes) much too soon. Second, I received “my freedom papers” from a six-figure career in advertising sales. Even though I generated millions of dollars in sales for my company, I too was a casualty of the great recession. In the midst of my personal storm, I made a conscious decision to share my journey of tragedy to triumph to inspire others to continue to live up to their God-given potential no matter what they might be going through. There is truly light at end of the tunnel. I'm a living witness of the light! 

Excerpt from The Wynning Way: A Guide to Creating Success Your Way:

Chapter 5: Visualize Your Victory 

One of the greatest methods to achieving the life you were designed to live can be found between your ears! Yes, your ears. Your two beautiful, bright pupils hold the power to help you accomplish whatever you desire in life. What you see in your mind is not only manifested in your actions, but also in your thinking and speaking. 

If you desire to be a business owner, it begins with your sight. If you desire to be a senior vice president at your corporation, it begins with your sight. If you desire to be a great journalist, it begins with your sight. If you desire to be a world-renowned opera singer, it begins with your sight. If you desire to be wealthy, it begins with your sight. You are literally just a glance away from the life you dream about morning, noon and night. I know it sounds simple, but what you achieve daily has a positive connection on what you spend your time and energy focusing on. 

What exciting story are you working on next?

I’m elated to announce I will be featured in the upcoming Feb/March issue of Heart & Soul Magazine. This is a national publication that educates, informs & inspires the physical, spiritual and mental well-being for women of color. Their editor-in-chief, Anita Kopacz, is doing an in-depth Q&A with me for Women's History Month. Within the piece, I will share some of my wynning tips from The Wynning Way: A Guide to Creating Success Your Way to inspire greatness in their readers. 

When did you first consider yourself a writer?

I first considered myself a writer, when I began writing poetry in high school. I had a true love for words. 

Do you write full-time? If so, what's your work day like? If not, what do you do other than write and how do you find time to write? 

I am not a full-time writer. By day, I am a Lifestyle Specialist with Live to Wynn. I don’t find time for writing, I have learned to make time for it. Writing for me is like breathing. It so necessary for my “wynning” lifestyle.
