About Me

Hi there. I'm MJ, but I'm sure you've figured that out by now. 

I'm a 30-something Southerner living in New York. By day, I'm your favorite HR person's HR person. By night, I'm a content creator who's intent on empowering and uplifting as many people as I can by sharing my story. 

Here (and on IG, of course) is where you can find my capsulized insights about wellness, being your best self, love (for self & others), and money. 

I developed OKMJ out of a need to do more of what pleases me. Writing is an outlet that enables personal reflection. It can also be a luxury, considering how limited my time can be with the expectations of my day job. 

But when I write, I feel such a magnitude of gratitude. After having ample time to reflect following a myomectomy in December 2019, I renewed my commitment to writing, promising myself that I would do what was necessary to make time for this expression of self-care.

I also needed a space to explore my more recent life transitions. As Michelle Obama most eloquently said, 'I am becoming.' This past year I have stepped up to assume roles that I have always wanted, functions that I knew I was prepared for, only to find out that what I thought I knew barely scratched the surface of what is. And you know what? I'm okay with that. I am learning to push imposter syndrome to the side, embrace the journey, and glean as much as I can so that I can share my acquired knowledge with somebody else.

As a visitor here, I want to thank you for thinking so much of me to have come this far. Your dropping by to visit, and the comments that you share, encourage and inspire me to keep going.

Full disclosure, I am by no means a certified life, relationship, or financial coach. I am a woman who is doing my level best to navigate and build the kind of life that makes me proud. If sharing how I am working towards doing that will help somebody, let's all win together!

So here it is, folks. Take it all in. I thank you for being a part of the OKMJ community. If there is a topic that you would like me to take a deeper dive into, or if you have content ideas, you are welcome to contact me.
