It’s been over a month since the Safe House International Faith Fellowship. It was such an experience. I really haven’t been able to put into words the feeling that engulfed the gathering. Each of the speakers really sat in God’s presence and delivered HIS word and not something that would make them go viral. For […]

Does Christianity Oppress Women? [video]
I finally watched this panel discussion and it was full of so many gems that need to be on display especially within the Black Church. Personally, I believe women are oppressed because the Black Church was the first place that Black men were able to hold leadership positions, be looked up to and expected to […]
Houston to Chicago
It’s been a little over a month since I moved to Chicago for my new position as an Academic Director in education. Y’all I already know that sentence is redundant, but everybody doesn’t know academic and education go together. Just saying. Anyway, I’m finally out of the classroom after 12 years. Not really but no […]
12 Years A Blogger
Please don’t get confused by the many dates I have shared on this blog. March 2009 was when I started my very first blog, prayingforpurpose.blogspot.com. Then September 2011 I started Women Are Gamechangers. This was the blog that launched my professional blogging career. November 2013 I started this blog to have space to write about […]
Digital Decluttering
Y’all I found all these things online that had photos or videos I took from years ago. Or that other people had taken from my past events. Photos I thought were deleted but nope. The cloud knows and keeps everything. I was doing my best to scrub my digital footprint (I’m not on the run […]
Back Down Memory Lane: Houston African American Bloggers Association
This is the finale of this edition of going down memory lane. Now this memory is bittersweet. But I can’t ignore what I was able to do and be part of from June 2015-June 2018. Around March (y’all know that month seems to do good for me) 2015 I was part of a Facebook group […]
Back Down Memory Lane: Get Me Paid 2019
Another trip down memory lane. I love events. Did I mention that I absolutely love putting together and hosting small events? Very surprising coming from an introvert. Get Me Paid 2019 was the last event I did with my blog. It was hosted at a church. I know, right! The Pastor offered me the space […]
Jesus Revolution: film review
I was talking to a friend and she mentioned, Jesus Revolution. I had heard of it but wasn’t sure what it was about. When they were promoting it when it was in theaters I never took the time to watch a trailer or see what the premise was about. She said I would like it. […]
Back Down Memory Lane: A Toast To Truths
Back like I never left memory lane. For years people said I needed to have a podcast. I think it was because people kept asking my opinion on a lot of things and I gladly shared. But I wanted to have a podcast that mattered to me. Something that I felt was of value to […]
The Color Purple: film review
I was probably 17 months old when this film came out, so it’s been part of my entire life. Last week I told y’all I finally read the book earlier this summer. Now I want to share why The Color Purple is one of my all-time FAV films. Or should I say it’s been in […]
