O-1 B VISA Approved!

Tears of joy are streaming down my face. The last 8 years of my life have been so hard for me, I was starting to lose hope. My faith has been more than tested. This week and last I received 2 miracles, and this is one!

I was hanging on by a thread, but the thread I was hanging onto was the thread of Jesus’s garment and Gods promises. After a very difficult and long process of over a year my Lawyer Frederic has informed me that I have been approved for my O-1 B Visa! 👏🏻⭐️

This Visa is the most difficult to obtain as it is specifically for persons with extraordinary talent, and with high achievement as an actor. I’m still in shock, so incredibly humbled and grateful.

I received notice from my Lawyer yesterday… inauguration day! 🇺🇸 How symbolic!

This approval means I can legally accept work as an actor in the U.S. and live there for over 2.5 years before renewal of the Visa.

I’m sooooo grateful for the support of esteemed directors and producers who endorsed me with deal memos and letters of referral. These were essential to my application. I’m still blown away by the kind words spoken of me.

My agent Ofelia also played a significant role, believing in me and dedicating her time to help make this happen.

Through the ups and downs, I held onto my faith and God’s promises, and I’m thrilled to see this dream become a reality. This would not have been possible without the many people who have supported me on this journey.

I finally have something to look forward to. I’m excited for this new chapter and can’t wait to see what the future holds. While I don’t know WHAT my future holds, I do know WHO holds it, so I can trust that it is good 🥰 Thank you Jesus. ❤️🥰🙏🇺🇸⭐️👏🏻🥳 taken in Hollywood, California by @krisorticello

Let’s hear it for the boys! (Men)

Men are making abstinence cool.

I’ve been reposting incredible single Christian men practicing celibacy, good looking smart guys who could easily be promiscuous with tons of female followers, but choose discipline over lust. They are tearing down the old stereotype that having a harem validates a man’s worth… it doesn’t, it only drains a man’s energy and resources.

I’m so proud of these men, assuming they truly live what they speak, for being public about how hard this journey is, but also how worth it is.

I hope this becomes the standard. When men lead with integrity and submit to God, families, cities and nations change. I know it makes women feel safer and communities blossom and bloom.

Things abstinent men don’t worry about: STDs, sexually transmitted demons, having their DNA and sperm collected and used for witchcraft, unexpected pregnancies, or toxic soul ties to name a few.

By abstaining a man’s mental health stays clear from manipulation so he can focus on his calling and properly vet a future wife without rushing intimacy.

If you practice promiscuity, you aren’t training for monogamy, you’re training for infidelity. Faithfulness only comes from disciplining your flesh.

I’ve also touched on porn before, its dangers, and overcoming my own addiction. Anything that makes you objectify people and steals from God’s plan needs to be cut off. I hope more men step up and lead with this strength.

“Flee from sexual immorality... Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit... You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” – 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 taken in Los Angeles, California by @krisorticello

Coercive control: A pattern of acts and behaviors that an abuser uses to take away your freedom and control your life.
I’ve been absent from social media recently due to coercive control and hackers monitoring my phone and social accounts. I’ve isolated myself from relationships to protect the privacy of others from being exploited.
There is a real danger with Over-the-Air (OTA) monitoring and hacking that many people are completely unaware of. Individuals in positions of great influence, including some of your favorite social media figures, use these tactics to shortcut their way to success, stealing relatable and relevant content to boost their reach over the masses. Corrupt people in law also use these tactics, anyone who needs your information can access you. It is nothing short of evil, and it comes at a devastating cost to the victims.
It may look like I just dropped off or stopped participating in relationships, that’s not the case, I was protecting people from also being monitored as well. The experience is deeply isolating and causes severe psychological harm.
A hacker can monitor your phone’s camera, view you in vulnerable situations like states of undress, listen live to your everyday conversations, and track your location everywhere you go. The level of hypervigilance required to navigate this kind of invasion is intensely anxiety inducing.
I’m writing this to give a voice to what many people are afraid to name or call out. I am also putting this on the record to let the people I care about know: that I have taken every step possible to protect your privacy.
I don’t have all the answers on how to prevent this yet, but as I learn, I will do my best to help others. Our perception of privacy is not reality. Hacking is so advanced now that you would likely never notice.

I take solace in the Lord and his word: “For nothing is secret that will will not be revealed” -Luke 8:17

The image is from a short film I was in called “Strawberry Wine,” which focused on domestic violence and coercive control… seemed fitting.

The biggest contract you will ever sign is marriage.
It is covenant, not fantasy.

My father once told me,
“Be careful who you marry, because you become that man’s property.”
That sentence stayed with me.
When a woman takes a man’s name, she is accepting his leadership.

Scripture says the two become one flesh, and calls the woman a helper, joined, not lesser.
In marriage, both gain responsibility, but a woman gives up more. Her body may change to carry children. Her last name changes. Her life shifts to meet the needs of the family.

That does not mean a man sacrifices nothing. A husband should give up his foolish ways, his pride, selfish ambition, immaturity, and lust.
“When I was a child, I spoke like a child… when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” (1 Corinthians 13:11)
Marriage requires a man to become a man, a provider for her needs, a protector of her life and heart, and a pursuer of her love.

Choosing the right woman is not just a blessing for her, it impacts his emotional stability, financial success, and legacy. The wrong woman can dismantle everything he built.
“The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down.” (Proverbs 14:1)
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” (Proverbs 18:22)
“Husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way… so that your prayers may not be hindered.” (1 Peter 3:7)

Marriage is sacred. It is weighty. One of the greatest covenants God designed.

It must be entered with reverence. When walked in love, maturity, and honor, marriage becomes a home. A life of partnership, bonding, fun, joy, and blessing, a sanctuary where two hearts grow together, make memories and where God’s favor rests on them both.

Are you falling for a Casanova without realizing it?

One of the easiest traps women fall into is falling in love with our ears first —
believing what we are told rather than what is consistently shown.

Men know this.

For Christian women navigating dating — especially those praying for a Christian husband — this is critical discernment.
There are many wolves in sheep’s clothing. (Matthew 7:15)

If a man romanticizes his past conquests, he is not repentant of sexual sin.
Repentance produces humility — not storytelling.
A man who boasts about who he’s had is still feeding on validation, admiration, and attention from women.

A man practicing promiscuity is not training for monogamy.

Narcissists and megalomaniacs seek identity through external validation.
The admiration of women becomes their mirror.
If he’s scared to settle down because too many women will be sad… please, see that for what it is.

The truth is simple: the only true love of a Casanova’s life is himself.

He may know Scripture.
He may attend church.
He may be charming and say all the right things.

But Scripture reminds us:

“Charm is deceptive.” (Proverbs 31:30)

⸻

🔥 The man God has for you 🔥

💛 Loves and pursues only you.
💛 Makes you feel safe.
💛 His eye and heart do not wander. He will not put you in a position of comparison or make you feel like an option.
💛 He protects you and what the two of you have built.
💛 He genuinely wishes he’d met you sooner, because you are more valuable to him than any other woman he has met.

Don’t be fooled… be content with the man whose heart is reserved for his future wife.

A godly man carries no other hearts while asking for yours. His restraint is not a sign that he isn’t desired — it is a sign of self-discipline.

Disclaimer: A woman should only expect these qualities if she is also willing to give them and live them.

Ask yourself: Does his leadership move you toward marriage, or the bedroom?

A man who truly fears God does not collect hearts.
He guards them.

2025 tried to take me out. So did 2024.

Sounds dramatic? It is.

PR expert Molly Dare often says it’s better to speak from a scar than a wound — so trust me when I say this is a healed voice talking, not a bleeding one. A testimony is loading.

To those who have intentionally oppressed me for years — take this as a warning, not a threat: you didn’t break me, even though you wanted to. You built me. You forced me to learn skills I should have never needed. You made me sharper. Stronger. More dangerous spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and legally.

The very tools you tried to use against me, I studied… rebuilt from scratch… and turned into wisdom, strength, and strategy. I don’t have to repay evil with evil. God’s word already says those who dig pits fall into them, and those who raise swords against the righteous face their own. I forgive — but I will not interfere with God’s justice.

While my world looked like a burning dumpster fire because of your actions, you didn’t realize there was a fourth man in the fire with me. But I think you’re starting to find out.

My greatest accomplishment of 2025… was surviving.
And that’s the biggest threat to anyone who came against me — because I DID survive. I’m still here. And I’m ready for you.

Everything you tried to take, everything you thought you stole, everything you assumed I’d never recover from… watch God. By His grace, I carry extraordinary talent — now recognized by an official government document. 👀⭐️🏆

With this extraordinary talent and God’s hand on me, expect to see extraordinary miracles. I will use it for every good and righteous purpose I see fit, and I am grateful to everyone who stood in truth to vouch for me.

If you relate to this, save it and re-read it later when you need it most.

2026… give me what I’m coming for — or stand back and watch God take it by force.

Can’t Bring It With Me

As we close out this year, I want to say this with clarity and peace in my heart. I’ve already gone to confession before Christmas, and I hold no ill will toward anyone — not even those who have harmed me.

There are people from my past who are blocked because they were harmful. If you are one of those people, please move forward knowing this:
I harbor no hatred, resentment, or bitterness toward you.
But I am also not responsible for clearing your name, conscience, rewriting what happened, or minimizing what you’ve done. I release you in peace. Please allow me the same.

Respectfully if you have been blocked, stop trying to contact me.

I don’t need any further “proof” of who you are.
You have shown me — repeatedly.

And because you are not safe, you are not welcome in my life. Your title, your role, or your relation to me does not entitle you to access. You lost that access when you chose disrespect, harm, and dishonor. That is simply a boundary, not bitterness.

Scripture tells us to forgive — and I have.
But the Bible also teaches us not to remain entangled with corrupt character:
“Do not be misled: bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33)

Forgiveness does not require access.
Healing does not require re-entry.
Peace does not require proximity.

You were a part of my past. I owe you nothing but love —
“Owe no one anything except to love one another.” (Romans 13:8)

And I can love you… from a healthy distance.
I’m moving forward. God has healed me, strengthened me, and led me into a new season.

You don’t need my permission to feel better about what you’ve done — you need to make it right before God. Repent. Heal. Do the work. I sincerely pray you do.

I never thought I could become a Saint… until I learned this…

I used to think becoming a Saint was impossible — something reserved for people from centuries ago or those with extreme lives.

But I learned that sainthood is actually attainable within a person’s lifetime if they have the anointing and the will… to do God’s will.

I also used to think you had to be celibate like a priest or nun. Even though I am celibate (going on 7 years now), I desire marriage and the full intimacy of welcoming my husband. And here’s what surprised me: you can be married and have a full intimate life with your spouse and still become a Saint!

There are married Saints! Even families of Saints!
St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s parents were both canonized — a family of Saints!

I also thought you had to be a martyr who died a gruesome death. While some Saints are martyrs, that’s not required.

For clarity: I’m referring to Catholic canonization, since that’s a Church process.

According to the Catholic Church, the requirements are:
• A life of heroic virtue and fidelity to God
• A reputation for holiness after death
• One verified miracle through intercession (two for canonization)

That’s it! It’s not easy or simple… just not impossible!

The call to holiness itself is universal — and we can all work toward lives that leave a real spiritual legacy… the only kind that truly lasts.

Not everything that feels bad is bad — here’s why

Conviction Is Good

Most people think that sinking feeling of being “caught” by God is something negative… I used to think so too.
But it’s not.
The very fact that you feel it is proof that God is near to you, that you hear Him, and that He’s refining you.

God is so gracious.
He gives us space to grow and mature in Him through Christ.
Yes, there are rare moments—like with Saul—where God instantly transforms a person and removes the scales from their eyes…
But for most of us, we walk with Him, and He gradually reveals His nature, His heart, and His will.

And in that process, things that once felt “fine” suddenly scream NOT OK.

That’s what happens when you read the Word and learn God’s will for your life.
Anything that goes against it starts to tug at your spirit.
You can’t move against His will and stay joyful anymore — that’s conviction doing its holy work.

So consider it a blessing.
God is purifying your anointing oil so He can use you for greater purpose in the Kingdom.

To whom much is given, much is required.
Training and refining MUST happen in your spirit for him to use you. You’re being promoted!

So when you feel that conviction?
Rejoice.
That’s the Lord drawing you closer and speaking directly to you.

There is no higher authority than His voice.
And the fact that you can hear Him is the greatest gift of all. 🤍

“You’ll know them by their fruit.”

The Bible says in Matthew 7:16, “You will know them by their fruits.”

What does that actually mean?
It means there will be proof of what someone truly follows. Their actions, choices, and patterns will eventually expose whether their words match their walk.

A lot of people claim to be Christian, but their lives don’t produce anything that aligns with the Word.
They want to be known for being in the “Christian club,” but when you look at their life choices, it’s filled with sin with no repentance attached to it.

And listen… that used to be me.

I believed in Jesus. I was raised Catholic. I honestly thought that meant I was automatically a card-carrying member. The Bible says, “Even the demons believe — and tremble” (James 2:19).

But in my personal and private life, I wasn’t living for the Lord.
I was living for my flesh — partying, consuming, gossiping, doing anything that gave me temporary satisfaction.
And every indulgence came with consequences.

It’s been well over 10 years now since God matured me in the Spirit. I live a repentant lifestyle — not perfect, but surrendered.

And you can see it by my fruit.

What I produce.
How I love.
What I stand for.
Who and what I fight for.
Where and who I serve.
My daily habits, my actions… and honestly, even in what I don’t do, even when I could.

Don’t be deceived into thinking that because someone calls themselves Christian, that they are Christ-like.
Watch their fruit.
Their life… their choices… their patterns… their character…
All of it will reveal who they truly follow.
