Her father a Captain in the Baltimore City Fire Department and her mom who stayed at home, worked to instill core family and life values by living them daily themselves. An introvert in her early years set the pace for her extrordinary observation skills. Debbie never said much but when she did it was somehow profound. In her later years she began connecting with women needing a non-jugdmnetal ear as they faced life’s challenges. Challenges ranging from relationship issues to financial matters.

Debbie has a philosophy that she espouses titled “Women as One.” She feels we live in a crucial time where we should be addressing self-accountability. The significance of what we bring to ourselves, our families, our communities and beyond is of utmost importance. Where do we place our value as women and how do we position that value in relationships and in life? her thought, we should be charging ourselves to the highest comprehendible standards, this will aid in the growth of our forward progression of empowerment.

Each SLANTRESS is reflective of one another; all parts of the collective whole…the pure essence of our communities. We are the past, the present and the future. We are women who learn from mistakes, reach back and look forward.
