“If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it.”

— Toni Morrison

Expression is freedom. Sharing our voices and telling our stories is a part of our freedom. It is my hope that through sharing my collection of devotionals, articles, sermons, and conversations that others will listen with compassion. It is my hope that someone will be inspired to lift their own voice and write their story. That our society will raise up new storytellers and liberate many more voices.

If you’d like to have me speak with your group, congregation, or collaborate on a project please contact me!

My Soul’s Relief in Times of Grief

Enter with no expectations of yourself except to simply be and feel. For God will catch if you feel you are falling

He will raise you up if you feel like your heart is drowning, he will hold you when you feel alone

He will provide community for love and support and He’ll provide rest when the night feels long

For in all of your sadness, pain, and grief, God is always there to provide your soul sweet, compassionate relief.

Our Lament is Holy

Our lament is holy, a tool of healing, a tool of resistance, a tool of protest, and a tool of liberation. Do not feel guilt or shame if you are in a space of deep lament. How do we sing the songs of Zion in a foreign land? We don’t, we sing our songs of lament for they are just as holy too!

Release: Moving from Bondage to Freedom

This devotional will share scriptures, quotes, and stories to help us to release the stuff holding us back, seen and unseen, so that we might see our divine identities and choose to live as liberated beings like we were created. The first three days we’ll explore what we need to release so we won’t become stuck in an internal bondage, and the last four days will explore how we can find relief and release as healthy alternatives. We must constantly practice releasing darkness so that we might choose freedom from the liberation of light and love.
