B. Simone wants to help others on their journies, so she's offering a webinar with industry professionals.

After taking a brief hiatus following a few controversies, B. Simone is back and hoping to empower others. Recently, the entrepreneur and social media influencer caught a bit of heat following her comments regarding not dating men who work nine-to-five jobs. Later, it was revealed that her manifestation book had plagiarized work from bloggers and authors, and B. Simone came forward to take responsibility for her team's failures.

B. Simone returned to social media on Wednesday (June 24) to share what she's been doing during her time off and to announce that she's hosting a webinar to help others in hopes of keeping them from making the same mistakes she's endured on her journey. "I had to get away and clear my mind . I’m Sitting reflecting on everything and I’m starting to understanding my purpose even more," B. Simone penned in the caption to a selfie. "I keep reminding minding myself that a delay is never a denial . How can i ask God to use me and expect him to only use me in the ways i want? How can i ask God to use me and i get upset when I’m not being praised or on a pedestal?"

"Sometimes when God uses us we are embarrassed, we are humiliated everything isn’t always glitter and f*cking rainbows lol don’t get frustrated with God instead ask him to speak to and through you during your difficult times. God is using me daily and I’m open to letting Him, and being a vessel," she added. "Because of that I put together a FREE webinar for young men and women that will be led by industry experts and people who are very knowledgeable in important topics! I’ve asked them to talk on finances, law, and you guessed, copyright infringement and how not to play yourself. Don’t make my mistakes." Read through her full message below and let us know if you'll be tuning in.
