From gifted student to teen mother to college graduate to CPA to successful biblicalpreneur to ordained minister, who I am and who I have become was driven by where I found myself as a 16 year-old … young and pregnant! I was looked down upon by society and those in the church and mocked to my face as "babies having babies." I was told that me and my child would never amount to anything, that I would never go to college, and would be on welfare the rest of my life.
However, in spite of the odds against me, God said, "Not so!" In the end, His plans for my life would prevail! (Jeremiah 29:11)
Little did the naysayers know, I would use their words of doubt and disbelief to motivate and inspire me to succeed. I had nothing to prove to others but EVERYTHING to prove to myself!
Learn more of my story and how, even with the odds stacked against me, I graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, earned a Master’s degree in Taxation, and became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA)!

After reading a quote that says, "there’s a big world out there … go explore it," Charlene was bitten by the travel bug! On that day, a seed was planted. Later in college, she took Art History courses and began to make a list of all the famous places, palaces, and works of art she wanted to see and experience.
But it wasn’t until shortly after graduating from college that she heard a line in the song, Confused, by Tevin Campbell, that the seed was watered. This song says: "Every night I dream of places I've never been to, so real it blows my mind! Can somebody tell me where could I find these places, and maybe spend some time?" In that moment, she knew she had to find these places and spend some time. Her bucket list was created and that seed is now in full bloom!
