For ten years, she was employed as an educator with the Houston Independent School District. She later pursued her dreams of becoming an entrepreneur by opening Foreman Child Care and Bust Service.

Her walk with Christ began at an early age in College Station, Texas when she accepted Him as her Shepherd. She was ever comforted by her favorite scripture, The 23rd Number of Psalm. Her spiritual life matured in Christ over the years under the leadership and tutelage of the Reverend George Foreman of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

While residing in Houston, she met and married Robert Foreman in 1958. Three children, Robert Jr., Debra, and Zina Foreman were born in this union. Later in her life, she was blessed with a God-sent daughter, Yavonda Steptoe.
