Catching Up: What I've Been Up To Since Writing the Book
To catch everyone up, life has been an exciting whirlwind since I published my book. One of the most significant changes has been my transition into the field of education, where I have taken on the role of a teacher in the realms of business and technology. Yep, I've been a whole teacher for a whole six months. This recent change has been incredibly fulfilling, as it’s allowed me to work closely with high schoolers who aspire to become leaders. It has been a whirlwind experience, delving into the intricacies of classroom dynamics and curriculum development.
Becoming a teacher has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. Over the past six months, I have had the privilege of working closely with high school students who are eager to learn and grow. Their enthusiasm and ambition have ignited a spark within me, propelling me to strive for excellence in my teaching methods and to inspire the next generation of leaders.
Witnessing the passion and dedication of my students has been a profound source of motivation for me. It is truly gratifying to see them develop their skills and knowledge, knowing that I have played a part in shaping their future success. As I continue on this journey, I am excited to see how my experiences as a teacher will continue to evolve and impact the lives of those around me.
Your support and engagement mean the world to me, and I can’t wait to share this ongoing adventure with you. Stay tuned for the next update, and let’s continue rising together!
With love and gratitude,
Precious McKoy

What Am I Reading?
Reading We Deserve Monuments in my hammock has been an absolute delight!
You are not broken. You are rising!
As an author, mompreneur, nonprofit executive, community leader, youth advocate, parent & families partner, mentor, and powerful motivational speaker, Precious McKoy leads a successful life. Her ambitious personality keeps her inspiring everyone around her.
Precious’s labor of love continues to be to help families in crisis improve their relationships with their children by having meaningful conversations. She firmly believes that having a trusted person to talk to is key to a child’s well-being. Furthermore, she supports parents in positioning themselves to advance their families with intentionality as their child’s best advocate.
Precious wrote Precious Rising: Embracing All That I Am to inspire others to live a fulfilling life by demonstrating that there is joy beyond trauma. Until now, few people have known about her adverse childhood experiences. She has been able to move beyond the unfortunate events in her life while honoring the makeup of who she is — even the most undesirable things that developed her into the strong, ambitious woman she is today. It’s ugly, and it’s beautiful all at the same time.
