I’ve always liked to be independent and keep busy. I can’t see, but I don’t let that slow me down.

I’ve been with Jubilee for more than 15 years. I lived in a great house with my friend Michaelis, and now we’re so excited to each be in our own apartment in the same complex near more friends. My Jubilee team helps me be independent.

For 29 years I worked at the U.S. Consumer Safety Product Commission. I loved delivering the mail and being with all my friends on staff. I decided to retire during the pandemic. I turned 50 right at that time too. It was time for me to think about what comes next.

I met with the people at Jubilee, and they helped me think about what I want to do. It was really helpful. I want to go back to work, either paid or volunteer. I’m a people person, and I like being useful. We also talked about how I want to keep being active and healthy. I exercise with a trainer, and Odunayo helps me with the Jubilee fitness classes too. I have a great life. I can’t wait to see what comes next for me.
