LEAVING THE CORPORATE WORLD I n 2019, the Holy spirit was leading me to start my journey of entrepreneurship . This happened after I resigned from a job in the Corporate world . Without consulting God, I decided to move to Kingston because the salary was quite appealing. I took the risk to leave my daughter who was 18 months at the time. I felt uneasy during the entire process of moving to Kingston but I didn’t take heed to my feeling of uneasiness.  I was at the Corporate job for only 3 weeks and nothing was going right. After I resigned, I was wondering what I would do next. During this time, I was still Freelancing on Upwork and also working with another client who I met on Upwork.   JESUS IS MY PROVIDER I continued to tithe and God was my provider throughout the journey. I didn’t lack as all my needs were taken care of. In November 2019, I saw an open position for a Customer Service position . It was an opportunity for me to work remotely . I had ...

REMEMBERING THE PAST In 2016, I was not yet baptized but I always believed in God . I was a hopeless case when I found out that I was pregnant ; wondering if I will ever make it as a single mother . 😓 I was beating myself up about the decision I made. I wasn't ready mentally for this new season of my life. Postpartum took a toll on me in the first few weeks after giving birth in 2017. I wanted to end my life and even my child’s life. I had to cry out to God for him to heal me as I was mentally broken and overwhelmed. I felt alone and worthless and I kept wondering why me?   However, fast forward to 2020 and I am living my life according to God’s will. Everything is now falling into place. His ways are better than my ways. Motherhood is a part of my purpose. Since the birth of my daughter, there has been a shift in my life. I got baptized in 2018, after I decided that there was nothing left in the world for me to rely on and I knew that God was always with me. ?...

I was awarded the " Top Rated " badge on Upwork in May 2020 . This platform has really opened up a lot of doors for me. It has allowed me to work with the best clients across the world and I had my first interview to discuss my success with others.  This is something that I wouldn't have been able to do with a regular 9-5 job . My "Top Rated" badge was earned based on great work ethic, consistency, dedication, great communication and persistence.  Although the platform is seen as competitive, it opens up opportunities for persons who are willing to go the extra mile. Freelancing on Upwork has given me the opportunity to make an additional income, utilize my skills and gives me the flexibility to work remotely .  We all have God-given skills and talents that we can use to earn an extra income . If you dig deep, you will find it. You can watch the interview here
