I have learned a lot of things this year. While my knowledge continues to expand, there is one thing that has been a constant roadblock. Misconception. When people hear the story, their initial reaction tends to be the same. It does not matter if the person is American or Nigerian for that matter…the questions begin. Because we are human, we […]
There are no words to describe the events of this year. There are some things that happen that are impossible to explain. As humans, we are creatures of habit. We have established patterns and comfort zones. We see things from a lens of experience….an understanding only of what we have viewed…lessons we have learned…pain we have suffered…or love we have […]
There is a moment in a leap of faith where it all becomes overwhelming. Time speeds up and days fly by. The next thing you know you forget what month it is and how you arrived here at all. You start to tally all the moments that you’ve collected…try to make sense of how they brought you to this place. […]
You are never really prepared for the unexpected. It comes like a storm on a sunny day. It blindsides you and makes you vulnerable. You can create a plan..you can research each detail..you can replay every angle in your mind..yet it finds you. I’ve learned a lot lately about the unexpected..how it can challenge your mental state, question your worth, […]
As today is Mother’s Day, I felt like addressing the women out there. Whether you are a mom or wife now or will be someday, every moment in your life is preparing you for all that is to come! A scripture from our church service really resonated with me and I wanted to share from it. There is much to […]
Funny thing..life. Yesterday, I was asked what I thought life was. I love deep questions like this because the answers can be varied and yet still be correct. Life is what you make it..right? So beautiful , that the question was not worded in the usual probing manner. It was not the ever popular..What is the meaning of life?..that has […]
What is true transformation? Essentially, transformation is the shedding of the old and the taking on of a new form. The dictionary defines it as “a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance.” For those of you who know me, you will understand how close to my heart this subject lies. In the struggles and hardships that managed to […]
I’ve learned some valuable lessons about connections over the course of my life. I’ve always been in this space, watching and observing the people around me. I’ve always known I was different. I may have struggled with whether that was because I was special or if it was because I wasn’t enough. There is a fine line that you walk […]
I received so much love for “The Call” that I felt moved to share more of this incredibly personal mission. If you’ve read my previous posts, then you know I don’t write anything without intention. What have you learned about me? Maybe, that I love hard? That I have a heart for justice? That I feel the need to protect […]
We have all dealt with changes in our lives. It can be a very emotionally challenging time because it requires processing and acceptance. Many are not willing to put forth the effort of adapting to the decisions that surround them. While there are some that easily run into the unknown with excitement, most are creatures of habit. They are comfortable […]
