I have always had a passion for lifestyle, hair, and beauty. When Covid hit in early 2020, I was furloughed for six months, like so many others. It was the scariest time of my life, because just like so many people, I had no clue where my next paycheck would come from. But God is so amazing because even though this was the scariest time of my life, it was also the best thing that ever happened to me.
This period of my life taught me to never rely on one income alone again. I learned that relying on one income alone produced limitations, and most importantly, vulnerability. The hustle and bustle of my nine to five (or my nine to ten because most of my adult life, I've also worked part-time) inhibited my ability to tap into ME. I was stifled and unable to be the creator I've always wanted to be.
Being furloughed forced me to be still. I was reminded of all the gifts that were buried deep down inside of me. I was reminded of all the things that brought me joy, and I was also able to learn new things that rendered even more joy! In 2020, I prayed the Lord would help me narrow down my focus, allowing it to be something tangible that would serve as a foundation for the other things to come. On March 14, 2021, He answered my prayers.
The vision of My Good Protective Sis came to me as clear as day on the night of March 14, 2021. That same week, I applied for my articles of incorporation, my business license, and my sales permit. I was blessed to return to work, but I told myself I would never sleep on my talents, gifts, and dreams again. Proverbs 18:16 says, "A [wo]man's gift maketh room for [her], and bringeth [her] before great men." The Lord has shown me so much more since my vision on March 14, and that is how I know the best is yet to come. I know my small business will become a big business that will open doors for so much more.

The best is yet to come!
