Resources for Emergency Situations
July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. We can thank author Bebe Moore Campbell and Linda Wharton-Boyd who were the driving forces to raise more awareness about mental health and remove the stigma. The resources listed below aren’t specifically just for mental health but also for the causes of mental health. If you need […]
The Atrophy of Shame {Video}
This was the sermon I preached during our preaching practicum in ministry school. We were given 8 minutes to preach a scripture(s) given to us. We had no idea when we would be called so we had to be ready to preach at any time. Y’all we had to prepare 6 sermons in 3 weeks. […]
Hello 39!!! Be Gentle With Me
I can’t believe I have one more year of being a “youth”. Anyone under the age of 40 is considered a “youth” so I’m still young over here. What can I honestly say about turning 39? Not much yet. I can say that I still get asked if I’m in my mid to late 20s. […]
Married To The Lies {Video}
In 2021 I started a sermon series on Fellowship for something I believed God told me to do. Well, what I thought I was to do is no longer a thing (more on that here), I still kept the content though. And that’s what you’ve been seeing and will see the previous and next few […]

Is A National Juneteenth Museum Necessary?
I was going back and forth on what I wanted to share this year for Juneteenth. I was teaching one of my classes about the origin and significance of this holiday last week. By the way, I teach international students so most have no idea about any U.S. history. I received so much feedback after […]

Fellowship- Intimacy With God
I found a scripture that after prayer, study and knowing the direction God called me to [ministry] is one that encompasses a foundation I can build upon. Y’all there’s so much to do to be a Christian. I mean the list is long. Like be obedient to God’s Word. And………….lol. If you do that, that’s […]
