The Nostalgia of Old School Personal Blogging
What happened to sharing thoughts without tracking to see what keywords will get you the most hits? When I first started blogging in 2009, it was an outlet. I still remember my first post on my first blog prayingforpurpose.blogspot.com. I vented about the Principal I had at the time minimizing Black students from participating in […]
2024 Reflection
As the year was winding down, I was just ready for the new year to get here. Then I went to a Bears game. My first NFL game ever. It was such a rejuvenating experience. Who would have thought that? It sparked me to get back into blogging seriously. I’ve been saying and wanting to […]
40 Years of Life
Leading up to my 40th birthday was a twinge of excitement, nervousness and navigating the unknown. As I got closer, I realized it wouldn’t be a day that I wanted but a day that still ushered in gratefulness. The past 2 birthdays I spent the day alone. It was mixed feelings but at the end […]

Each of the speakers really sat in God’s presence and delivered HIS word and not something that would make them go viral. For […]

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 […]
