Keesha’s motto in life that has kept her going, even during what seems to be the most darkest days, are these things to remember: have crazy faith when no one else can see it, you must see yourself in that vision before it happens, treat people the way you would treat yourself accordingly,  know your worth, set boundaries and stick to them. This is when you will see what is really behind the mask of others.

- Life is what YOU make it (no one else to blame)

- Keep your private life SEPARATE from business 

- FAITH will take you places that others will doubt

- Support who supports YOU 

- What God has started, HE WILL FINISH!
