Mom (Mother Theresa) & Dad (Papa Sauls) = My HEART
Mother Theresa: My hero in real life. My mom taught me the ropes on how to navigate corporate America as a black woman, the power of networking, always seeking out opportunities to serve others, never stop being open to exploring and learning, and always putting God first. Mom, I love you & I can’t thank you enough for all you do.
Papa Sauls: The man whose energy and personality can light up a room. Whenever I am faced with difficult interactions or just seeing someone who’s in need of a smile, I channel you. You’re never too busy to stop and say hello and help out your loved ones.
Two Siblings (Stephen & Chris)
Stephen (Brodeo): The artistic genius of the family. He inspires me every day with his resilience, positive attitude, and unstoppable drive.
Chris: The Dallas Cowboys fan of the family. He always brings a smile to all of us and continues to push and reach new heights.
