My last post and last series of 2020, ‘Spiritually Becoming’ was created to do an upheaval of the chains that were wrapped around my neck. Last week I said I was done bringing the effects of the chains and the chains themselves with me into a new year. To take a look ahead is new […]
This series I’m talking about “Spiritually Becoming” who God created me to be. When I thought of this title and what I would blog, I thought I would run through my life quickly to show what I’ve overcome, gone through, conquered. But then I thought about it. I don’t want to feel or make it […]
Being in the influencer world, leading a blog association for a few years and blogging since 2009, I’ve lived and worked in a world where people passionately lie or over inflate about how much money they make because their reality doesn’t fit into the narrative of their IG lifestyle.

I was excited at the thought of Joe R. […]
The past 2 weeks I have been somewhat stuck, stalled, traumatized, mentally exhausted and frustrated with what’s been going on in the world. Not just the pandemic but how we as a country allowed a tyrant wannabe lead us into the fire. Not the fire to refine us but to destroy us. The only thing […]
The church has an image problem. And I don’t know if it cares to fix that. As someone who grew up in the church, left for 15 years and has come back, I have seen the evolution of how the church is viewed in the Black community. Especially among Millennials and Gen Xers. And it’s […]
A pandemic has upended the “status quo”. While many people have fought around the world for equality, inclusion and basic rights, this year has amplified fighting injustice on a level we haven’t seen in awhile. Americans may think we are the center of the world, we’re not. But living in the most powerful country in […]
Building a church community free of Evangelicalism as well as oppressive theology to women is the future of the Black Church. As we continue to explore The DNA of the Black Church, we dive into theology wars. We’ll examine 3 different theologies that either have come through the Black Church or is being used. These […]
