Special Ties, LLC<\/strong><\/em> has been revised to secure the legacy of my beloved twin-sister\u00a0Carla Bailey<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Special Ties has undergone a revision to honor the enduring legacy of my beloved twin sister, Carla Bailey. Carla and I shared a profound passion for the ‘gift of hospitality,’ a calling instilled in us by our parents. This ministry took on new significance with the birth of Carla’s daughter, Amber, who had special needs. Since Carla’s passing, I have embraced the role of Amber’s guardian, making her cause my own.<\/p>\n\n

As a survivor of heart-related challenges, I am actively involved with the Go Red, Circle of Red initiative for the American Heart Association. Recognizing that heart disease is the leading cause of mortality among African American women, I am committed to making a difference.\u00a0Having served as a caregiver for my sister and parents for over two decades, I hold a profound passion for supporting others in similar roles.<\/p>\n\n

The impact of breast cancer has touched the lives of several family members and friends.\u00a0Therefore, the funds generated from book sales and speaking engagements are dedicated to\u00a0organizations that provide assistance to both patients and caregivers dealing with breast cancer\u00a0and heart disease.<\/p>\n\n

My journey is fueled by personal experiences and a deep commitment to making a positive impact.<\/p>\n\n

I am open to speaking engagements for any groups interested in discussions about heart disease and breast cancer. However, I need assistance to broaden my reach and address the significant impact these battles have on families. Your support in reaching a wider audience would be invaluable in spreading awareness and making a positive impact on the lives of those affected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
