​
My Thoughts on BE-ing:
I came across this quote that said, 'The definition of hell is - during your last couple of breaths, the person you became gets to meet the person you had the potential of Being.' I've chosen to leave this earth experiencing heaven instead of hell. I live with no regrets knowing that the person 'I AM' is the person I choose to BE right now and everyday until my last day on earth!
Fun Fact:
I love exploring new adventures, obtaining knowledge, and traveling throughout the world!
​
My Thoughts on BE-ing:
Relaxing and resting in YOU is what BE-ing is to me. Often times people will torture themselves in attempting to be something, or someone they're not. You are the best by being the best you. Always know... YOU are LOVED. YOU are enough. YOU are deserving of all things great. YOU are supported. YOU are capable. YOU are brilliant. YOU are liberated. It is your birthright to LIVE, LOVE, and to gracefully dance in your purpose.
LaQuisha Hunnecook

Fun Fact:

​
My Thoughts on BE-ing:
I am the Being of my foundation. Without knowing my "WHY" I would never get to my ending. My Being is to stay Grounded & Connected, so that I am always READY for whatever.
Martha Norris
Career Exploration Director
Iyonna Ross
Executive Assistant
Fun Fact:
I love to climb trees and I am very good at it. To be able to climb to the top of a tall pine, especially when the wind is blowing, is an amazing experience. I am cradled in the arms of the tree and can feel it dancing in the wind. At these times, I feel part of the energy of the cosmos.
​
My Thoughts on BE-ing:
I am a child of life and a global citizen. I firmly believe the words of Dr. King and try to act on them, “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” I believe in love and live my marvelous life accordingly with great gratitude and zest!
Fun Fact:
I am a foodie! The emotions that I have when I am about to try new food is exhilarating for me because I am a picky eater. I might like it and I might not and I love being in the space of not knowing!
​
My Thoughts on BE-ing:
As I am settling into my 20’s I have found this quote that I created to be profound. It reads, ‘Being able to make the decision to come out of your comfort zone to accomplish greater things is an accomplishment all on its own!’ As I am showing up in my truth more, this has been the blueprint for how I am transitioning into attaining the lifestyle I am moving towards.

​
My Thoughts on BE-ing:
Everyday I wake up I am given another chance to choose how I want to walk through this world. I choose to be the kind of woman my mother would be proud of. I choose to not judge myself nor others. I choose love, joy, kindness and peace. I choose to move with intention and purpose in pursuit of freedom.
Fun Fact:
I LOVEEEEEE CREATING! It doesn’t matter what it is… There’s something about applying healing love, joy & touch within my hands to CREATE something is fascinating. Whether it’s cooking, writing or hugging a loved one. I step into the essence of “Whatever I touch, turns to GOLD”
​
My Thoughts on BE-ing:
“BE-ing is a state of The Divine Mind combined with the courage of an Inspired Heart.
In ALL things we mirror that infinite knowing to reflect layers & layers of ancient existing. Remembering that we may CHOOSE TO RISE with every occasion to LIVE rather than simply exist.”

Fun Fact:
In 2018 I took a cruise to the Bahamas alone. While on the cruise I met a group of women from New Orleans who were celebrating various accomplishments in their lives. We started talking during the mandatory safety training and were best buddies from then on. We still keep in touch to this day.

Presence is the essence at which I live. At the end of the day, it’s the only thing. Everything else is either trivial or a tool to engage in presence. BE-ing to me is using my energy to stay ridiculously present.
