There comes a point in every journey when forward movement requires more; it demands a shift. A pivot. And for me, that pivotal moment is now.
For years, One Degree to Victory (ODTV) has been a safe orbit. A space where I've processed pain, witnessed transformation, and held the hands of women climbing out of the rubble. It gave me purpose, clarity, and community. The countless stories shared, tears shed, and breakthroughs celebrated created a foundation that I will forever cherish.
Recently, I've come to realize I want to rise meteorically. And if I or you want to rise, meteorically, we must let go.
We can't ascend while clinging to everything familiar.
We can't reach new altitudes comfortable in our echo chambers.We can't birth something revolutionary without laying something to rest.
So we need to pivot. To shift. Into a deeper purpose that calls others forward.
So we need to pivot. To shift. Into a deeper purpose that calls others forward.
To step through another layer of healing, the kind that burns, clarifies, and frees.
To join others at the table where victory gathers, multiplies, and feeds.
Introducing Torch and Table
More than a rebrand. It's a repositioning.
ODTV was a movement. Torch and Table is a mission.
Here, we talk about leadership, legacy, and liberation – the three pillars that form the foundation of sustainable change. We talk about post-traumatic growth, moving beyond merely personal healing and expanding into the realm of organizational transformation. We explore how individuals can translate their healing journeys into systemic change. About how we collectively build robust and compassionate systems that not only hold space for healing but actively facilitate it. We examine the intersection between personal resilience and institutional reform, recognizing that true liberation requires both internal work and external restructuring.
I'm no longer orbiting the same safe space. I've broken the gravitational pull of what's comfortable—and it’s uncomfortable, yes—but it's also liberating.
This evolution didn't happen overnight. It came through countless conversations with mentors, sleepless nights questioning my path, and bold experiments that sometimes failed spectacularly. But each step, each lesson, each redirection has led me here—to a clarity I couldn't have manufactured through planning alone.
The torch represents illumination. It symbolizes the passing of wisdom from one generation to the next,
embodying the warmth of community that keeps us going when the journey feels too difficult to navigate alone, and ensuring that hard-earned lessons aren't lost to time.
The table represents the gathering, a space where every voice matters and every story has weight. It symbolizes nourishment of bodies, of minds, and spirits hungry for growth. And it embodies the collaborative nature of true transformation, where we recognize that no one succeeds alone.
So come, sit with me.
This is your seat.
This is your invitation.
This is your moment to rise.
In the weeks ahead, you'll notice changes—new content formats, expanded topics, and opportunities to engage more deeply.
I'm investing in creating resources that serve not just individual healing but collective advancement...
Because while personal transformation matters deeply, it's only the beginning.
Every degree toward victory has led me here.
Now, we light fires of purpose—and we gather.
