Welcome to
THE BLACK GOLD SERIES

When I was a junior in my high school History class, I watched a documentary called "The Men Who Built America". The episode we watched detailed the discovery of oil and the rise of utilizing oil in America. The men who found this product called it "black gold". Interesting, right? They called it this because, like gold, oil was something everyone wanted. It made you rich, it provided many benefits to any individual, and if someone had it, it made them the envy of everyone and the goal of every success wanting individual.

​

For me, The Black Gold Series is just that - something that can benefit everyone and something that provides riches in the form of wisdom and wellness. Being someone who has an anxiety disorder, I know that it's easy to let your mental illness define you and it's easy to feel confined within the means of your mental illness. Being "Black Gold" means allowing your mental illness to walk behind you. It means stepping out in spite of your fears to achieve the dreams you've dreamt of. To be "Black Gold", is to be successful in all that you do, no matter the circumstances.
