Spotlight of the month- Tylayia

   Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and fun New Year, it's crazy to say we are officially in 2024!?  Let's enter the new year with a renewed sense of hope and a strong belief in our ability to achieve anything we set our minds to. This brings me to the focus of this month's spotlight, my wonderful niece Tylayia, who embodies the true meaning of resilience.  From modeling for Creatively Linked, working full-time, and being a dedicated mother, Tylayia is a great example of perseverance and determination. From the very first moment I met her, it was clear that she possessed a remarkable level of intelligence and wisdom beyond her years. I knew then that she was destined for greatness.  There's something about her that never fails to uplift people's mood. Every time someone has the pleasure of meeting her, they leave feeling happier and more content. Her infectious energy and charming personality make it impossible not to want to spend more time with her.  It's an honor to share a little bit about her with you all today, as she truly deserves this recognition.  So, let's shine the spotlight on her and celebrate all that she has achieved!

• What is a creative hobby that makes your heart smile?  "One of my favorite hobbies is to read. My favorite feeling is when a book is so good I can't stop reading. I've spent many nights not even being able to fall asleep until I finish one."

• If your closest friends were asked to describe you, how would they do so?  "I think they would say that I am a person with an outgoing personality and I care deeply about the people in my life. I'm so lucky to have people in my life that I am free to be myself around it is truly a blessing."

• What are your best/favorite accomplishments? "Having a child at a young age I was unsure if I was doing anything correctly from the lessons I taught her to the food I fed her. My greatest achievement is seeing her interact with others and grow into such a beautiful caring girl."
  
  
• What is your favorite song?  "Doo wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill"
  
  

• What advice would you give the younger generation about life?  "Some advice I would give to the younger generation about my life is to not let your past affect your future.

    Tylayia is an extraordinary source of motivation for all of us.  Despite the obstacles she has faced in her life, she has managed to achieve so much. She is raising a wonderful, compassionate, and intelligent little girl, which is a testament to her amazing parenting skills. Witnessing such an amazing mother in action always melts my heart, and Tylayia is truly the best mom ever! It has been a privilege to watch her grow up and become the incredible woman she is today. One of the valuable lessons to take away from her words is that we should never allow our mistakes to become obstacles that prevent us from reaching our goals. As her auntie, I am extremely proud of her accomplishments, from working her way up in the corporate world to modeling for Creatively Linked and sharing her wisdom with those around her.  Tylayia will achieve incredible things with her determination and hard work. I'm excited to see her reach new heights and inspire others along the way.  There is no doubt in my mind-- Tylayia you are Creatively Linked!
