be actively involved in her community and works tirelessly to promote and
empower others. She believes that everyone is uniquely created and has the ability
to be whatever they aspire to be in life; which is why she wrote her book – Dear
Black Butterfly, You Are A Queen. Magnetized by all of the amazing people that she
met during her journey as queen, she wrote her book to remind children and adults
that they are smart, important, capable, intelligent, worthy, and strong. She also

Development, Sales/Marketing, Operations, and Industrial Engineering, Dr.
Maychelle understands the importance of providing service excellence to customers
while operating efficiently and productively. She says, “It is not often that you can
go into a business and receive optimal customer service, so when you find a
business that exudes professionalism and great service, support them
wholeheartedly – even if you only share their business by word of mouth or via
social media”.
