- Tell Us About Yourself...
- I am a proud mother of two daughters. The first child was born when I was seventeen years old. The second child when I was twenty-two. Like many of us, I didn't listen to my mother enough and of course took the more difficult route for my life. I was determine to finish high school (with a four pound alien life growing in me it was far from easy but, I did it). I then decided my goal in life was to prove my mother wrong. I mean yes...I was a teenage mother but success couldn't be too far down the road; could it? I enrolled in a two year college which actually took me four years to complete and received an Associate’s degree in Accounting. Then, I had the second baby. I had to continue to prove my mother wrong so I enrolled in a four year school and hour away from me (always taking the more difficult route...right). I worked very hard as a single mom of two children. I slept very little often trying to meet homework deadlines, write papers, and take care of kids. I was definitely overflowing. I unintentionally decided to make my life more challenging so I changed my career path to science (what I wanted from the beginning). After another five years in school, I received a degree in Biology with hopes of becoming a doctor. Following many trials and tribulations, I finally realized that my mother was right about everything, what I wanted was to help individuals who sincerely wanted to lead a healthy life style so I began getting fitness certifications, and I loved traditional West African dancing....I managed to dance myself to Africa with a group of students from Rutgers University. Completely amazing experience, thus was born Excite Culture Tours. I found my wonderful husband; got married August 28, 2008. I am happy. Now it is time to build my businesses....
- What Are Your Goals?
- My goals for both companies is to motivate and inspire. When traveling with our tour company to West Africa, I aim to provide individuals with amazing memorable experiences. When working out with our trainers our goal is to help individuals look healthy and feel better about themselves.

Dancing My Way To West Africa
My mother taught me from the time I was a little girl that sometimes shutting out the world and letting the rhythm of a great song move your spirit is a sure way to heal the soul. Think about it, even if you’re in a horrible mood, you can put on your favorite tune, dance your heart out, and feel much better afterwards.
