About me

God talk is what I do best.

Although it gave me joy serving as a licensed minister, I didn’t always feel that way! I just didn’t see myself as fitting into a well-groomed, primmed etiquette, evangelistic, traditional preach-the-house down, high fashion wearing southern sistah who knew how to exude sexiness and purity all at the same time. 

I was the awkward, no style having bookworm hiding in the preacher’s study, ghostwriting their sermons and studies (I never ghost-wrote for any preacher, fyi). However, I would have much rather been called to do that than preach. 

After trying to bargain with God to take His calling back (lol), I was compelled to submit and preach God’s word in 2014. 

But I’m a writer, at the core of my life’s purpose. So after separating from my home church to reunite with my husband (that’s a whole other story…get the book) back in 2017, my ministry work turned back towards the written word. 

In hindsight, I am thankful for the calling. It further expanded my interest in theology, particularly liberation and womanist theology. These days, I see myself as a developing theologian rather than a whooping preacher.

My prose be preaching, sometimes, but most importantly it be speaking, shining a light cause lost sistahs in these unjust valleys trying to find home. 

While overseeing various church ministries, I’ve gained over 10 yrs experience in church leadership, specializing in education and women’s ministry. I’ve held women older than my mother as they wept over secrets they’ve kept since childhood. I’ve cried with sistahs as we shared our real struggles to be seen and not heard, pure yet hot-n-ready for the marriage bed, ‘undefiled’. I’ve fought for my voice and prayed other women through finding their own. 

Through my journey in Christ, I’ve found purpose in being a live free in Jesus advocate, minding my grace champion, as I reread and glean from the greatest love story ever told (God dying for his creation). 

And I write about it. Somewhere tucked in my fiction stories, you’ll find me whispering freedom. In my creative nonfiction, you’ll know I am declaring freedom. 

And at all times, I hope my works bring laughter, joy, excitement, intrigue, intensity, love, redemption, a well of conflicting emotions until you’re bursting at the seams on all sides of yourself and want to run or cry and shout, then float free to the earth as a feather, while God’s angels come and wipe the sweat from your brow.
