About Me

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio.  Where my early childhood was framed by the bleak reality of inner city living.  After encountering a close brush with death at the age 13, I moved to Houston, Texas with my aunt looking for a fresh start.  I was able to see my aunt’s success through her hard work in Corporate America and it motivated me to go beyond anything I had ever known.  Through sheer determination, I graduated in 2005 from the University of Cincinnati all the while working 3 jobs and supporting my younger sister with very little help from home.  Because my grades weren’t as high as most companies required I was turned down for many positions however, I was determined to land a job and finally an opportunity presented itself at General Motors.  Six years later, I am a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt supporting global initiatives for a Fortune 500 company.

Hi Taiese,
Sounds like the story of a young lady who has been abundantly blessed. Try and keep an eye out for the lives you touch and motivate as your aunt has done for you – throughout your life because you will see God move.

Use your life to it’s fullest…LIVE IT!!!

You truly have been God’s evidence of a blossom unfolding quietly in the presence of others. The perserverance you displayed in reaching back to Karima to share the blessings Peachie offered was based upon extraordinary unqualified love. I’m proud to say, cousin, that your beauty goes far beyond the flesh and has been so wonderful to witness. As you continue to grow spirtually I hope and pray that your dreams result in God’s work exemplied by unselfish deeds with unimagined rewards.
