Shout out to my Sisters!
✨ Sisters, this is our reminder: we are fighting for our lives and we need to fight together. ✨ 📊 Quick stats about Black women - We number about 21.1 million strong in the U.S., and we’re one of the fastest-growing groups of entrepreneurs. - Our educational achievements are rising, with over 30% holding at least a bachelor’s degree. - We’ve doubled our representation in Congress in the last decade, and we continue to lead in our communities despite the challenges we face. - 🤝 Why community matters When we come together, we lift each other up. Community is our strength and our sanctuary. By supporting one another, we’re not just surviving—we’re thriving. 💬 Final word To every Black woman reading this: we are in this together. Let’s keep building, healing, and rising as one. Please Like Share and Comment on this post.

Leaping into the Unknown
When God says go, you don’t get to negotiate the details — you just leap. Next month, I’m moving to Hawaii to start a federal position. Everyone who knows me is excited… and truthfully, I am too. But beneath the excitement is anxiety. I’m moving to an island alone. I don’t yet know where I’ll live. My adult children will remain on the mainland. And if that weren’t enough, the government is mid-shutdown. But still… I’m going. Because faith doesn’t wait for all the lights to turn green. Faith walks into the unknown, trusting that the same God who called you there has already gone before you. Sometimes obedience feels like freefall. Sometimes purpose looks like a one-way ticket. And sometimes peace doesn’t show up until after you’ve said yes. I’m learning that courage isn’t the absence of fear — it’s the decision to keep moving with it. So if you’re standing at your own edge today… take the leap. Your wings will meet you in the air. 🕊️ Reflection Prompt: Where is God (or life) asking you to leap before you feel ready? Community Share: Drop a 🌺 if you’ve ever said yes to an assignment that scared you—but grew you. --- #LeapOfFaith #PurposeInMotion #FaithOverFear #DivineAssignment #WhenGodSaysGo #TransitionSeason #CourageToGrow #HealingWoman #NewBeginnings #BlackWomanTherapist #SpiritLed #TrustTheProcess #ObedienceOverComfort #SteppingOutOnFaith #IslandCalling #WalkByFaith #BeStillAndGo #SoftLifeWithGod #MovingMountains #RiseWithGrace
 Leaping into the Unknown
Unveiling the Gifts of Grief: From Hidden Pain to Fearless Truth
The first profound loss I faced was the death of my best friend and cousin. We were 20 and 21, two inseparable young women who lived under the shadow of being the “good girls” in a family full of quiet secrets. When she chose to have an abortion alone, that secret turned into a tragedy. The procedure went wrong, and I lost her to sepsis. In that moment, I realized that her death was a brutal teacher. It forced me to stop hiding behind family facades and embrace my boldness in the open. Her loss was a gift that taught me to stand in my truth, embrace my flaws, and find strength in vulnerability. Now, I challenge you: What hidden gifts has grief brought into your life? Let’s be fearless together. Share your story and let’s turn our losses into a call to live more authentically and boldly. #GriefJourney #HealingThroughLoss #TheGiftOfGrief #TransformingPain #GriefAndGrowth #EmotionalHealing
