Quiet confidence is your secret strength — the kind that doesn’t need applause to be felt. In this holiday edition, I’m sharing what BET taught me, what turning 43 reminded me of, and why assistants lead best with presence, grace, and intention.

Even elite assistants battle imposter syndrome — but confidence isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about trusting your ability to figure it out, serve with purpose, and rise through the moments that test you most.

From red carpets to rainstorms, my years behind the scenes at BET taught me that excellence isn’t luck — it’s preparation. The secret? Knowing your boss so well you can anticipate needs before they speak them.

In high-stakes environments, excellence isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the mastery of it. From red carpets to boardrooms, I’ve learned that composure, grace, and preparation are the real superpowers that keep you calm when the pressure is at its peak.
