🏗️Building Castles 🏰with No Foundation🕳️: A Strategist’s Journey Inside a Global Startup

Hello Lovelies, I walked into the opportunity with wide eyes and a ready spirit. A startup claim to have ambitions to shift systems and integrate equity. On paper, it was everything I’d been preparing for—fusing my background in chasing disasters, public-private partnerships, and sustainable development. My role? To build the engine while the car was already speeding down the highway. So I thought!🥴 And I jumped right in. I showed up with strategy decks, grant roadmaps, government engagement playbooks, brand positioning language, development targets, and cross-continental funding relationships. Within weeks, I produced more than most teams deliver in six months: grant applications submitted, strategic partnerships initiated, core messages clarified, and team members mobilized. The momentum was real. But then came the reality. Behind the ambition was something much more fragile: leaders who were enamored by titles, unready for discipline, and allergic to accountability. The vision was ...

🌎🫂Pick a State. 🏡This is Homeland Security: Leading the Shift in Resilience with Vision and Alignment

Greetings Lovelies, I’m taking in ALL that’s shifting while sitting in Kingdom Territory. For nearly two decades, I’ve had the honor of sitting at the crossroads where federal priorities meet local realities. From launching logistics operations in the aftermath of Katrina to leading global transformation strategies across continents, I’ve remained committed to one unwavering principle: alignment creates momentum. Now, with FEMA’s new direction—streamlining disaster recovery, accelerating access to aid, and elevating state and local leadership—we are entering a pivotal season in homeland security. And Virginia is ground zero for what’s next. Having served at both federal and local levels—and knowing my home roots—I understand how to translate policy into power and connection into community impact. We grow people, business, and community around my way. The Role of Resilience Has Changed—So Must We Gone are the days when federal agencies alone held the keys to disaster recovery. FEMA’s ne...

🫂🫶🏾From Teen Mom to Global Mom🌱🍃—A Mother’s Day Reflection

 From the Desk of Lady Erin Love  Mother's Manifest People, places, and things! It's a honor to live in such power. WOW =MOM upside down.  Yes, YOU ARE HER! Happy Mother’s Day to every matriarch holding it down—in love, in prayer, in strategy, in faith. Today I pause to reflect—not just on the journey of motherhood, but on the miracle of it. From a teen mom to a global mom, I’ve watched God take my faith, my fight, and my fierce love and multiply it into something unstoppable: three brilliant, bold children with global access, dual citizenship, and divine assignments. I’ve been the woman on buses, planes, and trains—traveling city to city, state to state, as a single mom with vision and work to do. But no matter where I was in the world, I was clear on one thing: motherhood was not a setback. It was the setup. I always knew experience was the best teacher. I believed learning through play, culture, exposure, and faith would shape my kids more than any textbook could. And ...

💃💋💥Rhythms, Routines & Radical Results—The Fulfillment Framework for High Performers💃💋

  To My Lovelies- Beautiful Souls, Let me be radically honest with you: talent without rhythm is chaos. Ambition without routine is burnout waiting to happen. If you truly want to thrive—not just survive—in life and business, you must master the rhythms that regulate your soul and the routines that steward your success. In every season of my life—especially the hardest ones—what kept me grounded, joyful, and powerful were rhythms . Sacred pauses. Morning rituals. Non-negotiables. These weren't just cute habits or Pinterest-worthy routines. These were my lifelines . They still are. Whether you’re building a business, birthing a vision, or battling back from burnout, you must understand this truth: your routines reveal your readiness. Here’s why rhythms and routines matter: They center your spirit. A clear morning rhythm grounds you in gratitude and vision before the world demands a piece of you. They protect your peace. Boundaries built into routines reduce decision fat...

🌱🪴Health is Wealth: Balancing Leadership & Wellness While Running a Business🌱🌿

  Hello Lovelies, As an entrepreneur, leader, and visionary, I’ve always believed that success is about strategy, execution, and impact. But what happens when the very foundation of your ability to lead—your health—is challenged? Over the past few months, I faced one of the toughest battles of my life. A health crisis took me out of the driver’s seat, forcing me to pause in ways I never expected. It was a humbling experience—one that reaffirmed a deep truth: health is wealth. Without it, no title, achievement, or business deal matters. At one point, I was completely incapacitated. Between multiple diagnoses, blood transfusions, surgeries, and weeks of recovery, I had no choice but to step back. The thought of pausing when you’re running a company, managing teams, and leading high-stakes projects can be terrifying. But I learned an invaluable lesson: the strength of a company is not just in the leader, but in the team they build. Leadership Beyond Presence: The Power of a Str...
