is the CEO, president, and founder of Infallible Madness, No One’s Infallible, and Infallible Madness. She is a Christian, a daughter, a sister, a bonus mother-aunt to four, a godmother to one, an aunt, a cousin, a friend, a drummer, a sports enthusiast, a student of science and gregarious. Simply put, she’s just a girl from Little Rock, Arkansas, with a vision (efforts to effect change) and a dream (drifts of the imagination) with a desire to defy the odds and faith enough to believe in its ability to become a reality.

​

She is not afraid nor is she ashamed to speak about the many left turns she has made in her life before deciding to make the right one. Along the way, she has had a few losses, but she has also experienced some gains. She has been wronged, and she has wronged. She has had to forgive, and she has been forgiven. One evening, she made a conscious decision to be a better person and began embracing a journey to transform and reclaim her identity. A decision she has yet to regret.

 

Nina is grateful for each lesson learned from her past and each road she must take in the present, and she looks forward to the different stages her future will offer. Each part of her journey, good and bad, has equipped, qualified, and prepared her to be who she is today. And while she may not be infallible, she is still "twisted amazing", and she understands without a doubt that with God all things are possible, and there isn’t anything she can’t overcome. And while No One’s Infallible, Overcoming the Madness, and Infallible Madness aren’t faith-based programs, Nina's foundation is signed, sealed, and built on her faith and personal relationship with God.

 

When questioned about why she choose and developed these programs, she replied: I am a product of outreach programs and i believe helping others should always be the given. Besides that, bringing much-needed jobs to Arkansas residents and having family members who struggle with both drug and alcohol addictions as well as mental wellness, I just wanted everyone to have a place where they'd feel safe, be willing to seek out the help needed when and if they became ready. Next, I think it is safe to say that recreation activities are just fun! Whether it's utilized for treatment purposes or just to have a good time, it's all needed. Lastly, it is simply because of my faith in God and my desire to be Christ-like. I really just want to pay some things forward and continue to be a driving force behind Infallible Madness, OTM, and No One’s Infallible, by giving back to the people and communities I have a close connection to.

 

Most of us are familiar with the story of Adam and Eve, so I will also use them as an example when answering this question. After all, choices began literally with them. Adam and Eve were commanded not to eat from the tree of knowledge, right? Now, God didn’t just put that one tree up to tempt and hunt them; instead, he gave them a "BUT" and boundaries. This is what I like to call an option. Now, with options and boundaries, comes reward and consequence, correct? We all know what happened as a result of them eating from the tree of life, etc., but the fact still remains that they were given a choice and options. In today’s time, twisted amazing (i.e., Infallible Madness, No One's Infallible, and OTM) is an option. I want to do my part in helping the underrepresented and underserved no longer be at a disadvantage by offering access to options that reward, as the "streets" are already massively offering consequences.

 

Even though Adam and Eve went against God's command, God didn't just throw them away! Instead, other avenues were provided for them. Because humanity is born into sin as a consequence of Adam and Eve's actions, God made a provision for us to be reborn (i.e., the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, baptism and repentance, etc.). All we have to do is accept this provision, correct? Well, our youth and communities can’t accept what isn’t offered to them. Furthermore, they don't or won't accept what they cannot understand. The word of God speaks clearly about how, if we lack wisdom and understanding, we should ask for them. I want to be able to answer those questions when and if they are asked. My desire is to be able to offer that information in such a way that each person can understand it. Now that they know the whats and hows, we must make sure that there’s a "where" in place when a choice has been made to either walk a path of new beginnings or a path to excellence that goes beyond the path of generational stagnation.

 

Life is about choices and as I stated earlier, I haven’t always made the right ones. One day, I made the choice to fight for my generation's independence. Now I am here. It’s believed that one of the greatest evils is convincing us we have no choice. Choices aren't something that can be taken away. God gave us the ability to choose. It is within us; how and whether we choose to access it is up to us. I cannot say this enough! There is always a choice. You have a choice. My desire is that we all choose to fight, choose to excel, and choose to be different. We are all "twisted amazing", and because of this, we are all equipped to be overcomers!

 

I say this for the sake of illustration purposes only, not to be mistaken for taking away from or adding to God’s word. If we continue to reject knowledge and ignore the importance and value of education, edification, medication (health and wellness), as well as safe and fun recreation, generations of wealth, peace, and knowledge will continue to pass communties by. Legacies are needed in every community, to mend, and to expand."
