Every day we wake up is a day where we are given an opportunity to answer the following question, “How might we go about making our world a better place?”

We all have different duties and hold different positions, roles, and responsibilities throughout this massive planet: We are activists. We are artists. We are builders. We are creators. We are doctors. We are educators. We are entrepreneurs. We are fighters. We are lawyers. We are leaders. We are CHANGE!

Regardless of our “title”, we are absolutely the change we wish to see in the world. When we see a challenge, it is up to us to utilize whatever skills, talents, and resources we can bring to the table to address the challenges we see around us. Although as individuals we may fail to solve many, as communities working together, we can and will eventually find solutions to our challenges.

We are the exact CHANGE we’re looking for!

What are we doing TODAY to manifest our GREATEST potential?

Words inspired by Keith Jones II.

#DiscoverNOW is our curatorial series aimed at creating awareness for emerging culture, lifestyle, and talent. Today, we are excited to profile Brandie Freely. Brandie is a hope dealer, mother, writer, musician, lover, and free spirit to say the least! We came across the amazing work of Brandie when we saw the image posted above on Instagram. One of the first thoughts which came to mind were, “What does this image represent?” To us, this image represents beauty, courage, cultivation, love, motherhood, promise, trust, and unity. What does this image mean to you?

After checking out some of Brandie’s work on her website, brandiefreely.com, we came across one of her articles entitled, “On Mothering and Growing.” In this piece, Brandie shares her six year journey as the mother of her six year old daughter, Solona. Like many mothers, Brandie strives to be the absolute best mother she possibly can. In fact, she understands that she is a mother under construction. Here’s a question for our mothers, “What is it like to be a mother under construction?” “What does motherhood mean to you?”

We’re happy to have come across the great work of Brandie and we hope that you are too! We’re also looking forward to seeing how great of a mother-daughter combo both Brandie and Solona grow up to be. Be sure to sign-up for updates and follow Brandie’s journey by checking out her website, brandiefreely.com. Enjoy!

Although we do not know anything about makeup, we do know talent when we see it! When we came across the video below via one of our brands, We LOVE Hub City (@welovehubcity) on Instagram, not only were we introduced to the work of Brittany Camacho (@britni.__), we also took a liking to the the collaborative effort of all parties involved. This includes the fantastic makeup artist, Ashley Victoria (@ashleyvictoriamua), and the wonderful visuals by Elisee Jean-Pierre (@siiojp). By the way, the “SiiO” in Elisee’s Instagram handle stands for “Success In It’s Outcome.” Don’t worry readers, you’re not alone, we LOVE it too!

We’re looking forward to seeing the future growth of Ashley, Britni, and Elisee. Who knows, we may end up working together in some capacity in the near future. We would love to see Britni in an Adidas campaign. Only time and effort can tell!

Here’s another talented creative who started following us on Instagram just last week. Her name is Abena Mansah. Abena is a visual artist of Ghanaian decent who hails from the great country of Canada. As soon as we checked out her work, her art immediately spoke to us while simultaneously speaking for itself. So…of course we decided to follow her back! Here’s a link to her personal IG page and here’s a link to the IG page of her shop as well.

real-love

According to her account on Tumblr, Abena is in love with flowers and ebony. She really likes to eat quiche and admires the sun. Her favorite book in the bible is Ecclesiastes and she’s open and down to answer any questions you may have.

When we made time to sit down and digest her visual masterpiece’s, we began to notice that a lot of the work that she has been creating fits right in line with Blavity‘s movement.

We’ve been admiring and following the work of Blavity for a little while now. Their mission is to improve peoples lives through partnering with diverse content creators and influencers to help them reach a wider audience, amplify their message, and fund their hustles.

We would love to see Abena and Blavity team up to amplify her artistic expression with the world. We definitely think that more people should be afforded the opportunity to experience her work!

If you get the chance to interact with Abena and Blavity on social, mention us @aloversambition and use the hashtag #ALOVERSAmbition. We would love to join the conversation. – Cheers!

Rita Pierson: Every Kid Needs a Champion

Whether or not you may consider yourself to be an educator, we all help to educate others in one way or another. 

Women like Rita Pierson are just one of the many reasons why I chose to get involved in education. To this day, I continue to stay involved in education in various capacities.

City Year Miami

In August of 2011, I chose to serve as an AmeriCorps Member for an education focused non-profit organization entitled, City Year Miami. As a Corps Member, I worked at Miami Edison Senior High School. Our goal as Corps Members were to help decrease the drop-out rate and get “at-risk” students in “under-resourced” schools back on track to graduate.

Where Is The Love?



So, why do students drop out in the first place? Poverty, poor attendance, and negative peer influences are just a few examples. For this reason, the need for students to form empowering, purposeful, and productive relationships is paramount.

 Human emotion transcends cultural barriers. Thus, the value and importance of human connection and relationships are pivotal.

According to Dr. James P. Comer, the Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine’s Child Study Center, “No significant learning can occur without a significant relationship.”

Be A Champion



As Sean Covey puts it, “seek first to understand, then to be understood.” In order to be a good teacher, you must be a great student. Listen and learn. There are voices out here that need to be heard. There are thoughts that need to be cultivated. There are talents that need to be developed.

“Every child deserves a champion.” – Rita Pierson

This has to be one of the coolest videos that I have seen in a while. How did I come across this might you ask? I was searching for a Halle Berry “Revlon” commercial to find out who did the music.

Funny enough, it was this guy right here. Coincidence??? NEVER. Check it out and watch the mastermind at work!!!
