My low wage experience was losing my job and collecting unemployment of $167 a week. Having a newborn child and just moving in my new apartment this experience would drive a weak person to suicide. Feeling like my world was at a end i turned to GOD and my biggest motivation of all Madison Sharee Givens (my daughter).I struggled for 2 months making ends meet by borrowing money and saving what i had. I overcame this situation by exstensively looking for work and reconnecting with past managers and friends. My resources landed me a job.

Im at i.c.stars to transition with the world...Im the Denise from The Cosby Show...just weeks ago i never knew what i wanted to do..i looked to my hobbies and passions to guide me into a career. It didnt work! School to school, major to major, i was at a point in my life where i was at a stand still. Im here to take my life to its next level! To start a career that the future will need, to give my child a life of possibilities and not sacrifices. Im here to overcome fears, create new passions,fight a new fight, and define my legacy.
