My first months clean and sober,
BJ & Stanice
BJ & Stanice

BJ was one of the first women to really embrace the soul of me.  Didn’t put me down but was gentle and kind.  The Black women were hard, edgy, and clickish.  Ironic that BJ, a White woman, would be the first woman, I trusted in the program.  Made me believe that I would get better took the time to take me places, including one time the grocery store almost against my will. She said what are you gonna do instead of going with me.  It was my birthday. I said well… for real i don’t know but I’ll be alright.  “What makes you think you’ll be alright?  What do you normally do on your birthday?”  An honest answer came out before I could think of a lie, “Get high and have sex. In that order.”  Eye to eye, I surrendered.  “Okay the grocery store it is.”

I’ll never forget the friendship she offered nor the sense of sisterhood that gave me a glimpse of the woman I could become with a little help from my friends.  I also learned that I would regain self-respect even after years of self-loathing and shame. 
God bless BJ and all the people that You’ve populated my life with who loved me before I could love myself.  Amen.  So be it!

recovery_logo4homepage recovery_month_small I would love to be considered as an inspirational speaker/performing artist for any events during and after National Recovery Month. I have been clean and free from the bondage of active heroin addiction for 24 years and counting–one day at a time. So long-term recovery is possible! And women do recover!! I am a witness.

I am author of memoir I SAY A PRAYER FOR ME: One Woman’s Life of Faith and Triumph (Walk Worthy Press/Warner Books), as well as a one-woman show, Walkin’ On Water When the Ground Ain’t Enuf, which I perform. On February 2, 2010, Howard Books/Simon & Shuster, releases a new book, SistahFaith: True Stories of Healing and Hope, compiled by Marilynn Griffith, which contains a few of my life-stories.

Who I Am

I'm an author, inspirational speaker, vocalist, and performance artist. I was a heroin addict saved from myself and the lifestyle (with all the pain that comes with it) but the mercy and grace of God. Thus, I am a late bloomer; but blooming none-the-less. I've yielded every talent given me, and am now using them to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to discover and lives God's marvelous plans for their lives. My books include my latest, Walking On Water When The Ground Ain't Enuf; I Say A Prayer For Me: One Woman's Life of Faith and Triumph (Warner); 12-Step Programs: A Resource Guide For Helping Professionals; and Contributing Author of SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph compiled by Marilynn Griffith (Howard/Simon&Schuster). I also perform a one-woman show with comedy infused throughout. It's who I am--by God's grace--one woman on a journey toward unwavering faith.
