• There Once Was A Girl Who Lost Her Spark.

That Girl Was Me!

Convinced there was more meaning to life than her successful corporate career could offer, she took the plunge, jumped head first without a parachute, towards a life on her own terms -- only to find it was not quite what she expected. But on that journey, she found her Spark and hence, Spark Her Blaze was founded.  This site is devoted to empowering women with the lessons she learned so that every woman can SPARK HER BLAZE!

That Girl WAS me, but no more! Through trial and much error, I developed a system that empowers you by adopting purposeful mindsets, purposeful priorities and purposeful pursuits. 

This page is for women who may have lost her way in the busy of her life. She may not recognize the woman reflecting back at her in the mirror. She may feel unfulfilled in her role at home or at work. She knows there's more to life, but not sure how to get it.

I now empower women

 * To get back to the Core Essence of Who She Was Designed To Be (Before Life and Disappointment Changed Her)

* To Prioritize Her Life in a Way that Reflects What's Truly Most Important to Her.

* To Develop a Plan to Close the Gap Between Where She is and Where She Desires to Be

* To Shift from a Busy Life to a Purposeful One

She is uniquely gifted with insight and wisdom."

"Najah Ade Drakes is one of the most dynamic women I’ve ever met. She is wise, grounded, insightful, filled with the spirit and a wonderful listener. I have never sought her for council and not received a thoughtful intelligent response. She is always a wonderful resource for articles to reference and other helpful information. She has been a tremendous blessing to my life and I am so much better for knowing her."

Theresa H. S.

"Najah is a powerful woman of faith I can always depend on for honest, thoughtful, unbiased feedback and support. She writes with a sense of grace that empowers people of all backgrounds. Although very strong in personality she allows herself to be vulnerable. I believe Najah has a gift for empowering and inspiring women through faith. She has a gift of seeing in others what they can’t always see in themselves. She holds me accountable to myself!"

Thursday started out like any normal day.
There was so much anticipation about the road trip ahead. We knew once we reached the end of our car ride, our days would be filled with fun, beach, sun and unadulterated relaxation.
