✨🚘✨ From the North End to Visionary ✨🚘✨
Growing up in Winnipeg’s North End, my relationship with cars started in a very different place. When I was younger, I got caught up in stealing cars. I’m not sharing that to glorify it or say that it was right, because it wasn’t. But there was another side to that story that people might not understand.
A lot of us were kids coming from homes where the adults around us were struggling with alcohol, drugs, partying, and their own battles. My parents were drinking, some of my friends and relatives were experiencing similar things in their homes, and sometimes being in a vehicle together became almost like a little escape from everything happening around us.
I remember driving while everyone else was sleeping in the vehicle. Sometimes there would be partying happening back at home, and being together in that car felt quieter and safer than going back into those environments.
Looking back now, I can see that we were young people trying to find somewhere to belong and somewhere to breathe, even though the way we found that space wasn’t right.
Somewhere during those years, though, I developed a genuine fascination with vehicles, the designs, body shapes, interiors, luxury details, and performance. I started buying car magazines and looking through luxury vehicles and race cars.
Years later, I was riding in an Uber on my way to Walmart when I saw a vehicle with the name Genesis on it.
I immediately thought, Genesis?! Like the Bible?! 📜💫
As a Bible girl and a Jesus girl, the name caught my attention instantly. I actually took a picture because I wanted to remember the vehicle and look into the brand afterward.
Then recently another beautiful car drove past me, and suddenly that creative part of my mind started going: I love that shape but I would make the front like this, the back like that, change this detail…
And one idea turned into another.
I wanted to stay true to the elegance of the Genesis brand while adding pieces of my own creativity, the strong oversized front, the sleek body narrowing toward the back, the silver detailing, the winged G, and even subtle shield-inspired details representing the Armor of God.
And this became my dream-car concept.
It’s kind of amazing to think about the journey from being a young girl in the North End looking through car magazines during a complicated time in my life, to now sitting here creatively designing what my dream luxury vehicle could look like one day.
I love seeing how creativity can grow out of our stories. We don't have to pretend every chapter was beautiful in order to recognize how much our lives can change.
If the Lord ever blesses me to purchase my dream luxury vehicle one day, I already know what I’m looking for.
Genesis Driven by Grace. Led with Purpose 🤍🪽
And maybe that name means something a little extra to me too, because Genesis means a beginning. 📜✨
