Meet Sakiesha Phillips

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Sakiesha Phillips. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Sakiesha below.

Sakiesha , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

I grew up not liking how I look. I was told while growing up how ugly and stupid I was . I was even told by family. I been physical abuse , sexually abuse by a family member. I been call all names like an ape and more. I had my first son thinking I was in love because he told me he love me but the whole relationship wasn’t good for me . Then my second son I thought I want to be marry because I thought I was in love . Going to therapy now I found out I was just looking for love for anybody because I didn’t never get it from my parents. Now I am in my self love journey space where I am get to love me more, putting me first . With therapy and strengthening my faith with god i going to make. It was a time where I will cut on myself or want to take whole bottle of pills because I thought I don’t have purpose in life . God really save me not taking them pills. Now I am listening to him to let me know what my steps are instead me trying to figure it out

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I am single mom who raising a son on sprectrum and he is nonverbal. I didn’t know much about autism until his diagnosis. I start research and taking workshops to help me better parent to him . In the process I start to share information to other moms with special needs parents. So I start my support group for moms with special needs call super moms of superheroes . I meet so many moms and dads with special needs Childrens . We advocate together, I also suffer from depression and suicide so I start to speak out my journey dealing with depression and being a autism mom

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The three qualities that help me in my journey is going to therapist who i can vent and not feel judge and not heard, strength my faith more like been in group with special needs mom and we talk about christ it’s refresh and the last is writing in journal . I can put down the thoughts freely. I can write for hours and pour out how I feel .

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I will love to continue to connect with autism parents and the autism community where we make our bond keep growing but also connect with women who battle depression and suicidal and tell my story
