She is the proud mother of six children of promise and destiny. The motivation behind her \"EMOTIONAL WELLNESS\" conferences comes from her personal journey as a woman, mother, visionary, and realization of the need to be emotionally well. As a visionary, she advocates \"EMOTIONAL WELLNESS\" with the realization that the lack of, will causes dysfunction in every facet of one’s life. And also, moving forward without being healed and set free from the inside out will not lead to growth in the right direction. After having made several decisions that caused unfulfilled relationships, she stopped and performed a self-evaluation. Upon completion, she realized that an \"EMOTIONAL DETOX\" was necessary; and, that she needed to allow God to deliver her from herself! Once she removed herself, God unleashed the vision, and made the vision a reality which speaks to the unhealed emotional person ready to acknowledge the need for \"EMOTIONAL WELLNESS\". I am Eugenia Yvette I offer steps to emotional wellness. Have you ever felt overwhelmed with life's challenges or daily tasks? If you have answered yes then I have some information that I would love to share with you after this event. It is important that we cleanse our emotions regularly in order to transform our lives. Emotional cleansing is an ongoing process and I would love to share some tips and techniques with you. Please don't allow stress and unforgiveness to dictate your life. When we allow negativity to dictate our lives then our mind, body, soul, and spirit can become a habitat in which disease is more likely to flourish. I am Eugenia Yvette and I thank you for your time. My vision is to help individuals have balance in their life by being emotionally whole through self-examination and forgiveness.

What Inspired Me? By: Olijuwan Bates Hello, my name is Olijuwan Bates, but I go by the moniker Lacy as an artist. I like to draw, dance, and even make videos. When it comes to art, I like anything that allows me to use my talents. What also Aspire made was reading manga and manga is a Japanese comic book which you can read from right to left and that's how they typically read their books out in Japan and I can never forget the artist named Akira Toriyama. Akira Toriyama is the swole creator of Dragon Ball Z and watching his show and reading his manga really really influenced me to fall in love with the Jaro as we call an anime an anime is just short for animation in Japan which is a pretty cool fun fact. I never really thought about going to school for art I was always told that art never made enough money for being an art teacher you wouldn't make no money and now that I'm 30 years old I sit back and think wow the ones who told me that I couldn't make money in Ark were so wrong because now today we have the technology we have social media to help brand ourselves even further even quicker I could go and post a piece of art and get noticed by whoever for example Kid Cudi or freaking Steve Harvey could see my art and just say \"hey I'm going to share it \" and that could bring in a whole bunch of followers on to my page or they could potentially buy my art and this is me just saying this because I've seen it done before Instagram is my favorite place to go there are so many artists on Instagram it's ridiculous and I love it because I go on different content creators' pages and I get it very very heavily motivated because these people's artwork is simply amazing it fires me up and it makes me want to just pick up the pin grab my tablet and just create something and it's not a competition it's the joy is the love that I get from it and I can tell when I look at other people art is not all I need to make money is because they love doing this we live when we breathe this is the passion. @lacyyumi_arts
