Dr. Benjamin Carson


Strength is.....




Dr. Benjamin Solomon "Ben" Carson Sr. 
One of THE top Neurosurgeons in the world


So skilled at his craft, Dr. Benjamin Carson is the first man to separated conjoined Siamese twins even while dealing with racial discrimination from the very parents of the twins. Coming from a very complex and troubled childhood Dr. Benjamin Carson had a mother that would encourage him everyday to read more and more. Who would've known that at the age of 33 Dr. Benjamin Carson would earn his position as the Director of Pediatric NeuroSurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. 


One day as a young girl I read the Time Magazine. It was a hard cover book collection that my father brought home. I read this book from cover to cover. When I read the story of Dr. Benjamin Carson I then went on to read his auto biography. He is one of the reasons why I was determined to go to college. After reading his story I knew that if he could do it, then I definitely could do it too. I too could become an inspiration to others that needed someone to look up to. 

While we are celebrating Black History Month it is important to look at those that have blazed a trail and Dr. Benjamin Carson is a prime example of what strength is and what it should mean for all of us.

So I'm working on something exciting! Years ago I started writing my own magazine. However, with all of life's distractions I put my magazine to the side. Now, I'm in the process of creating my online magazine first with the hopes of printing a few magazines for distribution 4 times a year. Thank you so much to the people that always inspire and encourage me! LetsTalkItOut.Webstarts.com

Just Smile!

There are days when it seems like everything is trying to test your patience and your willpower.  Just smile!  Nothing can ease the soul than to smile. When times are tough and even when they are great a smile is very quick to make! What hasn't worked itself out today will be a great challenge to conquer tomorrow. When you've tried, you've conquered and you've succeeded.  If there's nothing else that you can think to do, just smile.

No Body Shaming Campaign

Good Morning! I'm currently watching My Big Fat Fab Life. This is the episode where Whitney gathers a group of friends to tell their story for the No Body Shaming Campaign. It's an amazing episode. It is in this episode that you get to hear the stories of those who have misjudged based on their appearance. It's so important to remember that whenever you cross paths with anyone, they have a story to tell. Whether that story fits their physical description, acknowledge the fact that you can't decide what someone else's story will be. I support the No Body Shaming Campaign. We are real. We are human. This means that even with the imperfections we are still intelligent. Take the time to understand someone's story if they are willing to tell it. Don't be so quick to associate a physical appearance with a misconstrued life story. The whispers, the pointing, the stares, they all mean something. Even when you think it might be subtle, it is noticed. So yes, maybe in...
