Tete

What’s the story behind your nickname? My childhood nickname, Tete, was given to me by my grandmother. My sister’s nickname is Nene, and my cousin’s is Riah-Riah. We all have similar nicknames. I always tell people who met me as a teenager or later, “Do not call me Tete.” You have to be my family…

I didn’t raise my hand

(Old to me, new to you) Today, First Lady asked, “How many of you trust God? If you do, raise your hand.” And I didn’t. Not because I don’t trust God. Look — I had no food yesterday to feed my daughter. And today, God loaded my food stamp card with full benefits — Benefits…

Women Who Cry

(Written June 3, 2025) I saw a woman cry. It made me want to cry too — but I didn’t. Not physically. I wish I could cry out to Jesus, but I feel like my tear ducts have been soaked up. I’m all cried out. I used all my tears in the last season of…

Reflection on My Biggest Mistake: Choosing “The One”

(Written August 5, 2024) Reflecting on what I consider my biggest mistake, choosing the person I thought was “the one,” I have learned a lot: 1. Strength and Resilience: I discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed. I learned that I can withstand immense pressure without yielding. I thought foster care was…

Chopping Wood: The Appraiser

At first, I thought I was still in what Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts calls the “dangerous prayer.” As discussed in previous blogs, the prayer is this: Father God, Please remove from my life anyone or anything that cannot stand in Your presence. Strip away everything that is not of You, so that all that remains…

Tabitha, Arise: Your Life Matters

(Old to me, new to you. From July 28, 2025) It’s no coincidence that I just completed a personal three-day fast, much like Esther before she approached the king, risking her life to save her people. It’s no coincidence that in this same spirit of boldness, my three-year-old daughter, without prompting, often grabs my face…

Can You Read? Normalizing Ignorance & Coming Out of Hiding

Can You Read? The question itself is not rhetorical. I am so serious when I ask you, Can you read? Surely you can. You’re reading this. Disclaimer. Sometimes I mean things in the nicest way, but they may sound rude. This is one of those times. This blog is written for a specific audience. The…

Holy Ground: Public Repentance

It’s like someone who cannot swim. God pushed me into the deep. “I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me.” (Psalm 118:13, ESV). He pushed me so that I was falling into the deep end of the pool. I guess this type of repentance and pruning is me learning how…

The Great Physician: When Environment Meets Assignment

“ I am the change I want to see in this world” Have you ever gone somewhere you felt deeply led to by the Holy Spirit? And while you were there, you realized you were not merely in a building. You were in her presence. Her being the Church. Scripture gives us this language because…
