Hello, beautiful souls. My name is LaQuetta, and today I want to share a piece of my journey that has shaped who I am and why I'm walking a path filled with purpose.
At the tender age of 18, I embarked on the journey of motherhood. Excitement filled my heart, but little did I know the challenges that lay ahead. Pregnancy brought hypertension into my life, and as if that wasn't enough, I faced the added hurdle of Bell's Palsy. The night of my induction became a turning point when I woke up to a diagnosis of congestive heart failure.
Despite the trials, I was blessed with the arrival of my daughter, who is now 16 years old. She's my joy, my strength, and a reminder of the resilience within us. However, my journey didn't end there.
Heart complications have closed the door to the possibility of expanding my family. It's a reality I've had to accept, but it's also a reality that fuels my determination to make a difference.
Every step I take is not just a stride forward; it's a journey towards saving lives. I walk because I know that heart disease and stroke are threads that tie us all together. We are connected through these health challenges, and together, we can change the narrative.
