Velvera™ didn’t start in a boardroom—it started in a dream.

At 22, the idea came to me in a dream-like state: a vision of desserts staying perfectly warm while being beautifully displayed. It was something that didn’t exist, yet instantly made sense.

But that vision came after a pivotal moment in my life. After feeling led by God to move from Louisville, Kentucky to Houston, Texas—a place I had never been and a journey I had never taken—I stepped out in obedience. I had never even been on a plane before, but I trusted the direction I felt I was given.

That move became a season of stretching. I experienced major loss—my home in Kentucky, my vehicle, and a shift from nearly a six-figure income to working an hourly job in Texas. Yet even in that season, I experienced provision in ways I can only describe as supernatural. Doors opened, needs were met, and I was sustained through faith when circumstances said otherwise.

During that time, I was reminded of Abraham’s obedience in Scripture—when God told him to “go” without revealing the full destination. That same principle of trust became the foundation of my journey.

While in Texas, my faith continued to deepen. One Sunday, I intended to attend my regular church, but was delayed by a train. In that moment, I chose to look for a nearby church instead and discovered Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church. That decision became significant in my life, and I later experienced unexpected provision for my housing during that season.

While I was in Houston, I was consistently connected to the United Youth Ministry under the leadership of Prophet Victor K. Greaves—a community that provided consistent teaching, prayer, encouragement, and spiritual direction during my journey. I am now honored to serve as a Kentucky Partner of the ministry, along with spearheading “Purpose Pushers”— a ministry built on pushing you into purpose, whether that be business, lifestyle, or spiritual growth.

It was in this season of obedience, humility, and dependence that the original vision for Velvera came to me.

I truly believe Velvera is a product inspired by the Holy Spirit—that He is the true inventor, and I’ve simply been entrusted to steward the vision faithfully.

That vision turned into months of design, refinement, and persistence—filing multiple patents and working with freelancers, designers, and manufacturers to bring Velvera to life. Today, it stands as a modern dessert experience that blends warmth and elegance into one seamless piece.

In February 2026, I made my first national television appearance on the ABC Tamron Hall Show. That opportunity came after a series of unexpected doors opened, including a viral moment online that led producers to reach out directly.

It was a reminder that faith and action go hand in hand.

My story is a testament to trusting God, moving with intention, and staying obedient even when the path isn’t fully clear.

Outside of Velvera, you’ll find me spending time with family, with my dog River, exploring real estate, and ministering the Word of God.
