Although I have had the opportunity to be in broadcasting for over three years, #bvnn @black_video_news , this was my first live interview on national television 🤗 #fox13 Definitely blessed to have this opportunity. To shine a light on representation on literacy and why it matters for children, is a true passion of mine! Thank you @sorbonified and #mattmcclellan for this opportunity! I can’t wait to see what is next and the opportunities… Thank you @devinpaladino_3 for coming and seeing my vision! So happy to collaborate 🙏🏾 #tampaauthors #literaturematters #representationinbooks #tampalive #foxtampabay

Literature Matters provides underrepresented books to communities in need. Communities that lack diverse books will be supported through book distributions, key note speaking engagements and community events. #literaturematters #diversebooksforkids #authors #tampa

Vlog: Lather + Bloom 💐 Although my drive was 3.5 hours [totaled me 7 hours that day], everyone was so nice! I took this trip for myself, and to really focused on a moment that was special for me. I didn’t know anyone there, didn’t know the food, location (thank God for gps); but the experience was amazing. For the past three years, I have used @soapsbyjah and have dedicated my body (from inside and outside), to natural products and foods. I also wanted to invest my money into warm and great people. #blackownedbusiness #womenownedbusiness I was excited when I walked in and saw flowers 💐 by @saysukiiflowers This woman is warm, and is educated about the beauty of flowers. She makes art out of flowers and is passionate about educating others on how to care for them. Although I garden and know about plants, Sukie taught me more. I will be including some of her techniques into my home! Both women, taught me skills and knowledge, and I am so grateful for their kindness and energy. We need more this in the world. Support their businesses and let’s continue to lift each other up through kinds, love, and light. #drjdesiree #vlogfloripa #naturalsoapmaking #flowerartwork #tampaflorida #ftlauderdaleevents
