I remember this day like it was yesterday. It was a beautiful day and I was at work in the women’s and children’s health department for a company named Alere. I’m not sure what happened but I felt like I was having a panic attack. I alerted my manager and had a meeting with our director before leaving while headed to Emory.
I walked out to my sleek black Lexus IS250 then saw a huge puddle of throw-up right in front of my drivers side door. I stepped over it then got into my car then drove away.
I thought I was going to go home the same day but the doctor saw that I had been drinking Voss water. Soon after, I was told that I was going to a mental hospital. I was puzzled as to why. I was given a room then asked what did I want to eat. I requested a salad. They did not give me any salad dressing or anything to drink. I ate the salad then was sent to Anchor Behavioral Healthcare. I was upset that I could not call anyone in my family to notify them of what was going on with me.
Since November 22, 2013 after arriving at Emory University, my life has never been the same after drinking what tasted like saline water and eating a salad. Thus was the first time that I had ever had a panic attack at work.
Over 20 years ago, Voss was born in Norway, a country known for fresh air, untouched natural resources, modern elegance and high standard of quality. Voss quickly became known and admired for our sleek, beautiful exterior, perhaps making it the most iconic and recognizable bottle ever.
As a Galaxy’s Defender for air, land and water. I roll with nothing but BEST. Yes, back then, my body was E.P.A. CPG compliant as a Bodacious individual with class.
I did not know until I left that I was a sight to see when executives came in with their business deals. A Black older woman who was a pastor told me that company’s normally place a beautiful individual on the front lines for a great image. I was shocked. after more than five years working for Alere that is no longer in operation as of today. If I would have found out sooner, I still would have been myself.
Have a Bodacious and Miraculous Day!
