Dear Mama,

My life source. Though I have sacrificed a lot, I will never know what it’s been like to walk in your shoes. You did not sacrifice your life for one child, but 5. That makes you the brightest star in the galaxy. I am your legacy and oh have I already made it a great one. I will continue to press forward with dignity, breaking down walls that stood the test of time.

I have the tools. You have given me all that a child could wish for from a mother. The brain of a genius, the gift of creativity, and a heart that moves mountains. You gave me compassion and grace when I stumbled. Most importantly you gave me your life. It takes a special kind of person to surrender their life to nurture another and that’s something I’ll forever be indebted to. I love you dearly Mama and I couldn’t have pulled this one off without you🧸 🤍@cheddia_be

Dear God,

It takes stillness to recognize that the life I am living is one I once prayed for. The woman I envisioned myself to be 10 years from now stands before you today with a heart of gratitude. A woman I saw as damaged was the woman you chose to be a vessel. A testimony of just how powerful your presence is when faith is at the heart center. Talk about being USED…

I am not just a counselor, I am a healer. I am a gift from you to the world. I am a beacon of light in a world that may seem dark. I am the kind of light that does not need darkness to exist and it is all thanks to you. Not many can do this work but you chose me because you know your child’s hearts. You’ve stretched it and made it whole again. My thanks to you in return is my service to your other children and I will serve them well.

Love,

Teddie Alexis Reid M.A

Thank You Lord For My Mistakes…

We often give the Lord our appreciation for our finished success, but we fail to understand the ingredients required for the recipe.

We are the creators of mistakes. The makers of missed opportunities. And the key holders to doubt. Yet it is he who blessed us with the ability to have a choice to what we do with them.

I have learned pain. I have learned happiness. But the most important lesson I learned was their bond to produce life.

Today I give thanks to him for the adversity he placed in my path for me to conquer.

Today I give him thanks for opportunities for more.

On May 9, 2026, I graduated from Xavier University Of Louisiana with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.
Four years ago, I was a 17-year-old girl with no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I always knew I wanted to go to college, but I never realized how important it was to find community and people who truly make you feel seen.

Coming to Xavier as a transfer student was one of the most nerve-racking experiences of my life. I was scared of starting over and the unknown, but almost immediately I knew I had found a home here.

Over these past three years, Xavier gave me so much more than a degree. I gained lifelong friendships, countless memories, and most importantly I learned that I can do anything I put my mind to.

Twas’ the night before Graduation 🎓…

August 12th, 2022
My mom and my grandmother dropped me off on campus 20 hours from Ohio. I stayed in Boley as a Freshman. I had to adjust to the weather, the people, the city, the state, and THE CULTURE. It was my first time EVER being in Louisiana and I was extremely homesick and really wanted to move back home but something told me to just keep going and that everything was gonna be ok. Southern University and A&M College gave something that I wouldn’t be able to have back home. I am proud to say I graduated from THE ONE AND ONLY HBCU SYSTEM IN THE WORLD🩵💛

To my friends, thank you so much. Every single one of you showed me that it is still good people out there and helped me learn more about myself to be a better person. Thank you for being there for me through the good times and the bad times. I love you all so much, I wouldn’t have gotten this far without any of you.💗

Your future attorney is signing out.

Twas’ the night before Graduation 🎓…

August 12th, 2022
My mom and my grandmother dropped me off on campus 20 hours from Ohio. I stayed in Boley as a Freshman. I had to adjust to the weather, the people, the city, the state, and THE CULTURE. It was my first time EVER being in Louisiana and I was extremely homesick and really wanted to move back home but something told me to just keep going and that everything was gonna be ok. Southern University and A&M College gave something that I wouldn’t be able to have back home. I am proud to say I graduated from THE ONE AND ONLY HBCU SYSTEM IN THE WORLD🩵💛

To my friends, thank you so much. Every single one of you showed me that it is still good people out there and helped me learn more about myself to be a better person. Thank you for being there for me through the good times and the bad times. I love you all so much, I wouldn’t have gotten this far without any of you.💗

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6

On May 9, 2026, a chapter closed that I will spend the rest of my life honoring.

Attending Xavier University of Louisiana was by far one of the wisest decisions I’ve made thus far. Four years ago, a girl from Indianapolis was sent to New Orleans on an assignment from God far bigger than a degree, an assignment that would become part of her testimony. Somewhere between the long nights, sacrifices, laughter, and memories, she became the woman she once prayed to be.

Thank you New Orleans for becoming home.
Thank you Xavier for demanding the best of me.
And above all else, THANK YOU GOD for the grace to see it through.

In just a few days, I’ll be crossing another milestone in my life. Although I officially graduated in December, it feels even more surreal now seeing my friends over the past four years graduating from Xavier, Dillard, and beyond. It fills me with so much joy, gratitude, and empowerment.

First and foremost, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Then my mom, my family, friends, teammates and everyone who supported me throughout this journey whether the experiences were positive or negative, I appreciate every person and every lesson learned along the way.

I’m extremely grateful and blessed to be in the position I’m in today. Being a student athlete came with hardships torn acl/labrum, exams, early mornings, long nights, moments of feeling alone, depressed, and unsure. But through it all I learned how precious every single moment really is.

And with the struggles came unforgettable blessings championships, fellowship, networking opportunities, lifelong relationships, and memories that will stay with me forever.

This chapter taught me resilience, Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, Uplift. My journey was a 3 and a 9 it wasnt perfect but it was definitely worth it.

In just a few days, I’ll be crossing another milestone in my life. Although I officially graduated in December, it feels even more surreal now seeing my friends over the past four years graduating from Xavier, Dillard, and beyond. It fills me with so much joy, gratitude, and empowerment.

First and foremost, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Then my mom, my family, friends, teammates and everyone who supported me throughout this journey whether the experiences were positive or negative, I appreciate every person and every lesson learned along the way.

I’m extremely grateful and blessed to be in the position I’m in today. Being a student athlete came with hardships torn acl/labrum, exams, early mornings, long nights, moments of feeling alone, depressed, and unsure. But through it all I learned how precious every single moment really is.

And with the struggles came unforgettable blessings championships, fellowship, networking opportunities, lifelong relationships, and memories that will stay with me forever.

This chapter taught me resilience, Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, Uplift. My journey was a 3 and a 9 it wasnt perfect but it was definitely worth it.
