A couple of months ago, I was asked to do an interview from a Author based out  of  Las Vegas, named  Toni Larue.   When asked the following questions by Queen B.I.C  I sat and thought about my life.  My story  was really my journey, my truth so I wrote back; read the story produced by the lovely author of ABANDONED Secrets,

Find out more about Michelle Smith aka JA Nursing


MEET MICHELLE SMITH


Hi B.I.C’s


We had the opportunity to chat with nurse and community advocate Michelle Smith about her life and what she’s up to now. 
 
Michelle Smith became a warrior for success at the age of 17 when she became a young mother.  Three months into what was supposed to be a joyous time for any woman, Michelle found herself a single mother balancing a newborn daughter and school.  At the age of twenty-three, Michelle was preparing to finish her nursing program when she found out she was pregnant again. Due to complications she was kicked out of nursing school and found herself and her two children living off of government assistance. It wasn’t until one day someone approached her and said, “You don’t look like you should be sitting here doing nothing,” that she found the motivation to continue to push herself.
MICHELLE FOUGHT HER WAY BACK INTO NURSING SCHOOL WITH THE HELP OF THE VERY PERSON WHO MOTIVATED HER AND GRADUATED FROM GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE.
Unfortunately, her registered nursing program transitioned into a degree program. Michelle was then again face with another obstacle but she was determined to figure out a way to push through. With the help of her sister she passed the Nursing Diploma exam. Shortly after she graduated her sister was diagnosed with cancer and passed away several weeks later. Michelle was devastated by her loss. She dedicated her life to helping others but she couldn’t save her sister. Lost in her disbelief, Michelle didn’t know where do go from there but even in her darkest hour, Michelle was determined to turn her grief into something positive.
Proudly, in 2011, she launched JA Smith Consulting and Nursing Services, with the pleasure of having her Children's initials be a part of my company (The J is for her daughter Jessica and the A is for her Son Anthony). The goal of JA Smith Consulting and Nursing Services is to increase the health and social literacy of individuals within the community and to ensure that people of all ages have healthcare awareness, resources and knowledge to navigate our healthcare and social system.
A proclaimed community advocate, Michelle’s program aims to empower all individuals, regardless of age, to fully access their health and social benefits. Her program provides information, education and assists groups in the community by intervening to resolve issues and produce results. She also participated in various health, social and mentoring initiatives within the community such as: Know; Your Rights 2014, with Chief Bill Blair, Bullying segment on G98.7fm, If I Ruled Toronto, and many others.
See where Michelle got her drive and motivation to continue to make moves in her community. Let’s get to know MICHELLE SMITH a little better.

If we’re sitting here a year from now celebrating what a great year it’s been for you, what did you achieve?
I would have  continued on my journey to create a platform for advocating with the goal to continue to change the face of knowledge. I would have created a comprehensive program within my city that recognizes that the role of a healthcare advocate is a much needed role. I t is my goal to make everyone  a part of my healthcare Shield program that will help increase the literacy for all involved. I would have touched and changed the lives of many as I have done within the last 13 years. That is what we would be celebrating.

 Keep up with Michelle and the AMAZING work she is doing to promote health and social literacy for people of all races and background.
I hope Michelle’s story motivated you to make a change within yourself and your community.
Not sure what gets you motivate? Read the tips below.

Who is your role model, and why?
Too many to choose from but I mostly will say that my Mother fused determination into me. She said very early on that I have to remember two things" I AM BLACK AND I AM A WOMAN so I better take up my books". [Her encouragement] certainly made me push through to succeed.

Have you ever felt like quitting? If so, what made you push through it?
Yes, but I was a single mother of two. Quitting was not an option.  
What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in your life?
Never try to change a man and I should really try to wear my right shoe size (smile) you will get the same effects from both—pain.  But really, my biggest lesson is that I can do anything possible if I believe in myself.
When and how did you realize who you were born to be? Or have you even realized it?
I realized it in 2011 when I set out to register a business and call myself an Advocate leader and a mentor. I have always been told that I am defiant so to me that represented being a change maker— a rule breaker in a positive way.
What do you stand for and what is your mission?
I stand for changing the face of knowledge. I say this because too often a youth is told that they cannot be something and I would like to show them with a humble passion that it can be done. Work hard and everything is possible and my mission is to increase health and social literacy for people of all races.
B.I.C stands for beauty, intelligence and confidence. It is a movement that inspires, motivates, and empowers women to lead a well balanced life mentally, spiritually and physically. You were chosen because you’ve demonstrated that you posses those qualities in different aspects of your life. What do you believe makes you a BIC woman?
I AM A B.I.C WOMAN, because I am fierce in my step. I am a Black woman who has found her purpose in Life. I will not be defeated; I am motivated with the purpose instilled in me by God, for me to pursue my passion. I am full of laughter and Love and I will help change outcomes for all who crosses my path.

Journeys 2 Success Keeping up with the Jones edition


Journeys To Success
Journey's to Success Call  Celebrating Ordinary Women Leading Extraordinary Lives






2014 Agents of Change




Hi it's Your Girl JA Nursing
As a social advocate I wanted to share this event with you all.


As the winter sets in so does the holiday burden. 

Last month I attended  an event put on by Toronto Community Housing, of which I was named a Agent For Change.  I felt exceptional to join the list of ladies above. But let it be known the struggle is real a lot of lessons have been learned unfortunately by going in the wrong direction. 
But that is the beauty of lessons you can share them and help others.
 My community division  known as JA Nursing is tailored to continuously help the community at large with practical knowledge and experience. The results intended, is a community that is informed and knowledgeable. This is the goals of Being a Social and Health Advocate. 




What was the objective of 
Journeys to Success?

Journey to Success celebrates ordinary women with exceptional lives.The goal of this event is to continue to educate, inspire and empower women to take the lead and be agents of change. This initiative involved 2 events  designed to celebrate women of change who in spite of their obstacles inspire us through their determination, commitment and achievements.

I salute the organizers of this well thought out concept and event. The first part of the event  was called Wisdom Circle, which focused  on wisdom and experience sharing of residents and professionals. You know when looking back at this event this was and will continue be a practical way of helping our community gain insight and support. 


Every women on the panel had a story to tell about how financial literacy has been approached. For everyone this journey will be different, but it is important for women at large to feel like the support exists. As you know  financial issues happen at all aspects of life.

One of my most enjoyed parts of the evening  was all of us getting a chance to speak directly to the women and youths in what they called  breakout sessions,  this was the opportunity to encourage the Residents and their children about some of our experiences that have helped changed the direction of our lives. 

Journey’s circle gave us an opportunity  to have heart to heart dialogue, with the goal of helping to heal financial wounds due to loss, illness, etc.  and to support each other with clarifying our purpose and financial mission.


Who can argue that Making ends  meet, with the focus on financial Freedom from generation to generation isn't the concern of us all 

Overall the event was a great success.

Just little story 
I brought my son to Get his social insurance Card, I wanted to have it explained  to him the importance of this financial identification. Your #Sin number is almost as important as your name it's like a numeric name that describes you in numbers.   #Financial #Responsibility a lesson learned  late by myself.  



Here's some tips 
What does it mean to be financially responsible?  
To be financially responsible, you need to live within your means. And to live within your means, you must spend less than you make!

Responsible use of a credit means paying the balance on your account in full each month.

This is a good Rule to follow 

Balance-to-Limit Ratio
Equifax says: “Try not to run your balances up to your credit limit. Keeping your account balances below 75% of your available credit may also help your score.”

TransUnion says: “Balances above 50 percent of your credit limits will harm your credit. Aim for balances under 30 percent.”

Ok, so avoid maxing out your credit - because if you don’t really need more credit you’ll be able to get it, and if you do really need it then you are more of a risk.(Funny how that works)

Learn to Paying Yourself First  before you pay your bills - pay yourself first. A good goal to save is 10%.

Financial responsibility means being prepared for the unexpected. You should have atleast 6 months worth of money saved in case of emergencies, lesson learned when I lost my job one year. The more education you have means that it becomes harder for you to qualify for EI otherwise known as unemployment insurance. Funny since once your working you pay into it. 

Ultimately, financial responsibility means living within your means, regardless of the level of those means. Don't worry about keeping up with the Jones they won't help you out of your financial issues.

Your Credit Is Like Your Last Name




What would your last name be if it was compared to your credit score?


HEY GOOD MORNING  Team  SMARTIES

Its Monday, back to the grind, back to figuring out if you are going to get a tax return this year or if OSAP is going to take it.

Weekly I will have different financial literacy  topics that will help to bring the community closer to financial knowledge. The  goal to help  our selves  with a purposeful intention to stop the generational curse. Knowledge is  power.  Your credit score is like your last name.
 Building you credit works in  the same manner like building a relationship. You have to nurture your credit build that relationship and it will reward you.



The purpose is not to Show off  but to show that it is possible, anyone' who knows me knows that  life hasn't been easy.  Starting College  at 18  was not the only thing I started. 18 was the year I started my journey to financial  failure.  Why you might ask?  September 1994 they  granted  me the magical  booklet.  All I had to do was check mark which credit card I wanted and I got it like all like MAGIC.



The only thing was that the explanation of how I was going to pay  for all those cards was not included. I include to say department store cards because they normally hold a higher interest rate, which makes it very difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel when I comes to your finances.  Lets not  forget to mention  those gas cards too.  But who cared right?  

Well I was 23 and now having  child #2 last year of Nursing at George Brown College and about almost $50,000 deep into OSAP.  Back then in 95-99  most students got  lucky to have all your living expenses transferred into OSAP hmm, I'm a baller now,  big money and credit cards Like who  could ask for anything else.
the Saga continues...........

weekly different parts of the story will be revealed..............



 One of the biggest lessons  learned is how to keep my Credit Game on Point... a total of over 15 years of a lesson to be exact. to change a R9 rating into a Good rating.

Now the questions is Do you want your lesson to TAKE THAT LONG?


Make it your mission to pay of your student loans as early as possible
Once you put this in order, Only  then  can  you start  to rebuild your Credit--- Remember once you mess it up not all hope is lost stay responsible, Build equity, pay your bills on time and plan ahead, leave cards for emergencies only.

Try to pay off what you owe monthly... Start back with a easy card like PC Financial  pay  them on time then try for an increase.  If you practice that for a while then you can try applying for A line of Credit which is 5-7% .   A line of credit can help you pay off your other debts  that have a higher interest rate.

Rule of thumb never spend more than you have. Good credit is not about flossing its about making a feature for Your Family.

Financial   Literacy is a must

BODY BY CHOSEN (1ST ANNUAL PULL UP FOR A PURPOSE) Lymphoma Facts


Although the number of people diagnosed with lymphoma each year is on the rise, many still don't know about this life-threatening form of cancer.




Hi Its Your girl JA Nursing a few months back  Body By Chosen held an event  Called  Pull Up For A purpose.
What was this all about well one of the Team  members had Lymphoma and I'll be frank I applaud him for speaking up about this issue. Cancer on a whole is on a rise and with having lost My sister to Cancer in 2002 I am fully aware  That CANCER has no boundaries no age and no Limits to who it strikes.
I have been honest with you all through my journey that the Goal will always be to help increase Knowledge it is one of the most important factors to illness prevention and management  
It's important that all Canadians know the signs and symptoms of lymphoma because it can save your life. Signs and symptoms can be similar to other, less serious illnesses, making diagnosis sometimes challenging. Lymphoma is often misdiagnosed as a flu or fatigue. However an early diagnosis is important, because if untreated, some types of lymphoma can be fatal within a short period of time.
By knowing your nodes, you will better understand your lymphatic system, as well as know the signs and symptoms of lymphoma. If signs and symptoms are detected early, there is a better chance for quicker diagnosis, treatment and overall survival.
Fast facts on lymphoma
Here are some key points about lymphoma. More detail and supporting information is in the body of this article.
  • Lymphoma is cancer that develops in the lymph nodes and lymphatic system.
  • The two main types of lymphoma are non-Hodgkin's (about 90% of cases) and Hodgkin's (about 10%).
  • The cause of lymphoma is unknown, but some risk factors have been identified.
  • The main symptom is usually enlargement of lymph nodes that does not go away (as it does after infection).
  • The process of diagnosis includes doctors 'taking a history', ruling out other problems, feeling for swellings, and arranging biopsy tests.
  • Laboratory analysis of biopsy samples determines the lymphoma type and stage, alongside other tests and scans.
  • Lymphoma cannot be prevented, but survival rates after treatment are good.
  • Treatments are similar to those for other cancers. They include  chemotherapy, radiotherapy and specialized drug therapy.
  • Some cases are treated with stem cell transplantation in combination with high-dose standard therapy.
Although the number of people diagnosed with lymphoma each year is on the rise, many still don't know about this life-threatening form of cancer.

Health Care Shield: A 23-Year Journey to Your Advocate on Paper

Hey, it's your girl, JANURSING  I've been thinking a lot lately about why I do what I do. And I realized it all comes back to 2002. ...
