I’m a 50-year-old African American mother, wife, retired police officer, entrepreneur, role model, and mentor. Born and raised in Brooklyn, East New York, I grew up playing on concrete streets and was afraid of grass the first time I was exposed to it. Grass wasn’t a norm in my low-income poverty-stricken neighborhood.

 

In 2017, my husband and I purchased a travel trailer and began camping. We fell in love with outdoors and recently purchased a waterfront property In Northern Neck, VA. Who would’ve thought a city girl like myself would fall in love with the outdoors?​​​​​​​
