“Once I have decided that yes, this is what I am meant to do and I’m going to do it by any means necessary – but I am in a state of change, how do I make this work? I love what Martin Luther King, Jr. said. He challenged us and said, ‘You are the architect of your life.’ So the reframing is designing the landscape that you want to be in. You decide visually and physically what does it look like? Who is in the playing field? Who are the people I want to play with? What are the rules of engagement? You set all of that. It’s your design. And if it’s your design, then that’s when the possibilities are endless. You’re not replicating someone else.” – LaWanna Bradford
