About Black Pearl Health & Wellness
I am originally from the most beautiful city in the south, Savannah, GA known for its beautiful architecture and rich American history. Growing up as a Savannahnian I was taught how to cook and take care of a home by my wonderful mother Gwen. My mother gave me everything from sewing lessons to cooking lessons. By age 12 I could cook up a pot of collard greens like nobody's business! Without her training, this new venture of mine would not be possible. Long before I had ever heard of the now famous Black Pearl ship featured in the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the term was near and dear to me. Throughout my childhood my father often referred to me as his "Black Pearl". At a very young age the 1st man in my life had given me a solid lesson about life as a women through a simple, yet lofty nickname. The lesson was simple, you are a SPECIAL GIRL and you deserve to be treated like a rare piece of fine jewelry, with the utmost love and respect. In 2012, I lost my father to the "Big C"-Cancer. (I effing hate Cancer), but his legacy and life teachings will forever be with me. He was my biggest cheerleader, always encouraging me to sail hard and fast and sometimes......against the wind. For that I am thankful and I miss him dearly. I also met my wonderful husband, Tony “Polo” Jordan in Savannah. In 2003 we started a non-profit for at-risk youth, AWOL All Walks of Life, Inc. and through our community work drummed up a lot of success for some pretty deserving kids. We have our own two sons, Caleb and Daniel. My son Caleb is diagnosed with Autism and is the smartest and sweetest boy I know. Caleb is also a big part of the reason I became a DIY, organic and natural product phenatic in attempt to use natural remedies to help my son overcome the effects of autism. So it is only fitting that I embark on a new journey in my life , as mother, wife, friend and social change change maker. Black Pearl Health & Wellness chronicles my journey to the other side----- a new era featuring a healthier, happier and skinnier version of me! The voyage which I share with you is replete with weight loss, diet changes, and a passion for making the best hand crafted organic products for my family and anyone else who dares to throw caution to the wind and decide to LIVE WELL!
