Erica is renowned for her soft-spoken and kindhearted demeanor. In every gathering, she is the first to uplift her fellow female peers, inspiring them to recognize their worth and inner beauty. Deeply committed to the idea that all women are stronger together, Erica is particularly passionate about empowering black and brown girls to embrace self-love. Having grown up in an abusive home that severely lacked positivity, Erica understands the importance of a supportive environment. Despite the challenges she faced in her early life, she has forged a fulfilling path that she takes great pride in. Now, as a loving mother to a sweet girl who is thriving both at home and in her community, Erica continually seeks to spread positivity. In her professional life, Erica recently stepped into the role of lead teacher at her local preschool, driven by her passion for working with children. When she isn't teaching, mothering, or inspiring others, you can find her in the kitchen with her daughter, joyfully baking sweet treats together.

Erica is a hardworking young mom. Her time spent in foster care taught her that dedication leads to a better quality of life, which is what she aims to provide for her daughter. Recently, Erica was able to move herself and her daughter to a safer community. She has noticed that other children in the area ride their bicycles, and Erica's wish is to gift her daughter a bike. She hopes this will help her daughter connect with other kids in the community and feel a sense of belonging in their new surroundings.
