  • Credibility is the currency of leadership—and life.

    As part of my graduate studies in Organizational Leadership, I came across a question that stopped me in my tracks:“Do you operate from a position of trust or credibility?” (Cardon, 2022) It made me reflect—not just professionally, but personally.

  • Etched Becoming

    by Priscilla These aren’t just tattoos. They’re chapters on my skin. Not decoration— declarations. Of survival. Of surrender. Of sacred becoming. On my right— a swan. I’ve always been that— graceful, poised, composed. Gliding through life, but underneath, I was paddling through chaos. Waiting on test results, waiting on answers, smiling on the surface while…

    This reflection came straight from my journal, and today I decided to speak it out loud. It’s not perfect, it’s not polished—and that’s the point. This isn’t a performance. It’s a pulse. A pause. A piece of me. Because sometimes… we’re not dimming. We’re just finally discerning where our light belongs. #AreYouDimmingOrDiscerning #DailyReflection #VoiceOfTruth #SoftPower…
