Two Moms Merged on Purpose
In May of 2015, Ciyonna and Nia were complete strangers on a mission to fulfill their purpose. They have yet to meet in person. Ciyonna resides in the suburbs of Chicago and Nia lives in South Carolina.
It was fate their paths would cross while attending a virtual conference from the comforts of their own home. For an exercise, virtual attendees were asked to partner up by exchanging phone numbers. The chat box used by the virtual attendees to communicate began to rapidly overflow with numbers. From the hundred of numbers quickly scrolling by, Ciyonna randomly dialed a number. Nia was on the other end.
An instant connections was formed as they talked about the passion that drives them and how they plan to impact change in the world. Although more than 900 miles were between them, they felt as if they were in the same room.
Nia and Ciyonna became accountability partners, meeting weekly to discuss goals and action steps to further their entrepreneurial endeavors. The partnership quickly evolved into what they called “accountability sisters”. Before I Go I Want You to Know is a result of this sisterhood of two moms who merged on purpose.
