As the only child that didn’t have much family to support her in her goals, She stood strong anyway and decided to be the best that she noticed God made of her. By the will of God, she won victory over many trails and tribulations in her life as she became older. In one part of her life, she had found a new fond respect for life, when she suffered a tragic car accident at 17yrs old. This pushed her towards major growth in wanting to become successful and help people in many ways. After yrs of helping the sick in her career, she started back writing poetry at the age of 27yrs old, as a way of letting her emotions out, which lead her to an editor’s choice award for best poetry in 2008. She had been writing poetry since she was 8yrs old and decided that she also wanted her writing to be a form of help.
Teresa has always been a strong believer of God and continues to keep faith in him, as she lightly battles with sickle cell disease. One of her goals is to educate young people with sickle cell on how to better take care of them selves. Which made her start the organization called A Better Way Sickle Cell Group. She also consults with those in troubled/ abusive relationships and in need of guidance on mental, physical and emotional ways to move on. She manages a modeling business called Dime2Diva Mgnt, helping young women with their dream of becoming professional models. While she strives to be her best each day in the sight of God and achieving, she plans to bring many people up with her. view less
