I’M LATRESE!
I am a proud 38 year old momprenuer, wife, mother of 3 beautiful girls and the definition of black girl magic! Yes, you read that right… 38! Thank you mama and grandma for the great genes!
After having years of success in Healthcare IT, I am excited to now be walking in my purpose as an entrepreneur and a mommiBlogger providing love and light to moms, wives & mompreneurs alike. The path to confidence and walking in our true purpose is one that can take us awhile to reach and one that we constantly have to work on. If I can make you laugh, invoke thought or say the things you want to say; then I am doing what I set out to do!
