OCTOBER 3, 2016 FREE2FLY LEAVE A COMMENT EDITUnless you have been living under a rock, you are aware of the systematic distress that have occurred in Charlotte NC. Another unarmed victim became a casualty to the hands of a police officer. This is happening far too often. The names of black men/women are becoming hashtags in an uneasy trend. Some of the youth have been effected by the current events going on in the city. We encourage you to be change agents, using your voice for peace! Always promote peace and equality, even when situations aren’t always fair. Change occurs when we are willing to… Read More »IN ORDER TO GET TO, WE MUST GO THROUGH…

SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 FREE2FLY LEAVE A COMMENT EDITAfter many years of contemplating the idea in my head, and meditating on what I felt God had placed in my heart to do. Last year, I made the decision to put action behind something I had hoped for and dreamed would happen. I submitted the paperwork to begin the nonprofit organization, Free2Fly, Inc. In September of 2015 when I walked into the post office and received the letter stating the official 501©(3) status, I knew it would be on! The work that I hold near and dear to my heart was actualized. Free2Fly, Inc. was born! The… Read More »ONE TO GROW ON…

AUGUST 26, 2016 FREE2FLY LEAVE A COMMENT EDITWhat inspires you? Inspiration has been defined as something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create. I’ve also heard inspiration broken down and said to be derived from the idea that it spawns from the indwelling spirit, or spirit within (in-spirit = inspiration). This belief would indicate that we are inspired by a higher power that lives within us all. These ideologies aren’t too farfetched, however, do you feel inspired? Are you allowing the spirit within or everyday interactions/encounters move you to create? Any time you… Read More »INSPIRATION

MAY 24, 2016 FREE2FLY LEAVE A COMMENT EDITOne of the things we never hear growing up, is that this life’s journey will be easy! However, getting comfortable in our skin makes the road with all its bumps, hills and valleys a little easier to grow through ? If you are living, you will always have lessons to learn and situations that will assist you in the maturation process. Desired or not! So even if you are a budding young lady that is just reaching your teens or a fully blossomed woman in all your glory, we are constantly learning to UNAPOLOGETICALLY to be ourselves in… Read More »UNAPOLOGETIC

FEBRUARY 29, 2016 FREE2FLY LEAVE A COMMENT EDITQuote-about-her Is the only way to accomplish goals. One of the first steps for Free2Fly, Inc. has been to officially open the doors of the organization to the community. We were able to do that with the 1st Annual Empowerment Brunch. The turn out was great! More importantly than having great attendance, but the feedback about the information shared during the event, has been said to be ‘exactly what some needed to hear to continue to move forward, even more motivated to walk into their purpose driven life.’ This is the goal of Free2Fly, Inc., to inspire someone… Read More »ONE STEP IN FRONT OF THE OTHER…

DECEMBER 15, 2015 FREE2FLY LEAVE A COMMENT EDITWhat an awesome year this has been! Free2Fly, Inc. gained its 501©(3) approval status in September of 2015! We are still ecstatic to see this idea actualized. This concept had been my brainchild for over five years. Once I decided to commit to the vision, and follow through with the plan, the birth of this organization came to life! This is the same process it takes to get anything accomplished in life, which relates to the mission for Free2Fly, Inc. We aim to provide young ladies with opportunities to explore and express themselves in a nurturing environment so… Read More »THANK YOU 2015…HELLO 2016!

JANUARY 30, 2016 FREE2FLY LEAVE A COMMENT EDITIts been asked, who are you targeting at Free2Fly, Inc.? Have you seen that young girl in the back of the room, who’s eyes are filled with hope and searching for her voice. Or maybe that mother of 3, doing all that she can to make ends meet; prayerful that her children will experience the world differently. As well as the young lady in high school that desperately wants to go to college, but her home situation screams that will only happen in her dreams, because all her friends are satisfied with staying in their hometown, and if… Read More »WHO ARE YOU?

What A Time To Be Alive! This is totally the appropriate title for our 2nd Annual Empowerment Seminar. The event was held at UNC-Charlotte on March, 25th 2017. The theme for this event was inspired by a picture of a young lady exuding confidence, a certain boldness and fearlessness. The caption on the this picture read “What A Time To Be Alive”. This birthed the theme for the empowerment seminar for this year. This raised the questions, why not be bold? Why not be confident? Why not be great? Oftentimes when the decision is made to live on purpose, challenges begin to arise. In dealing… Read More »SEMINAR RECAP…
