Thankfulness means so much more to me this season… and going forward. For a while, I’ve carried discomfort, anxiety, and disappointment for how I thought my life would be. 

I just haven’t really been me. Losing the version of me that was always motivating people, inspiring, and building them up hasn’t set right with me. But still I push to be the resilient woman I know still lives within. I struggled with whether God heard me or not.

Fortunately, I was reminded that God not only hears me, but He’a still working all things out for my good. I was also reminded of my worth, purpose, my heart, and how much God has blessed me and my sweet girl. And to always live in those moments, because God has us (Demi and me ) covered. We belong to Him.

Truth hit me when I didn’t expect it… when I didn’t want to hear it. On Nov. 13th at approximately 8:45 pm, while driving home, my daughter and I were hit by a drunk driver. There was no time to brace my daughter. No time to speak at all. But in a split second, as I saw the headlights and no where to go, I hit brakes hoping I would take the full impact and avoid my daughter being hit head-on. 

My spirit called out to God in that second. In that second I thought my life was over. But God said no. He definitely got my attention that night. He reminded me that He was always listening. That He just needed me to listen to Him. 

I’m so grateful that my baby girl and I are alive. Nothing else matters. 

I shared all of this to say… God hears you. You just gotta believe and listen to Him. He’s got everything under control. Every time you feel depressed, not enough, not accomplished, or lacking of anything - remember His grace, mercy and reflect on every blessing. 

Because you are blessed. Abundantly blessed. 🖤 @thedemijade

Not many knew I was on this journey. I held it close to my heart, not out of secrecy, but because it was deeply personal—something I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl. Also… just wanted it to be a surprise.

I am so excited to I have officially become a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated! 

This was God’s ordained time, and I embraced it with everything in me. I am immensely grateful to my family for giving me 110% support, to my baby girl for being patient and understanding when I needed to pour into this dream, and to the phenomenal women who pushed, encouraged, and reminded me of the greatness within.

To the friends and family who didn’t know—but instinctively knew when to check on me and what to pray for—thank you. Your love covered me.

This time, I went for it—and I’m so proud of me.

I’m looking forward to the work ahead.
I’m looking forward to the impact that 123 Shades of a Crimson Dreams will make.

I’m looking forward to walking boldly in what I already know is in me.

THANK YOU to the amazing women who guide myself and my beautiful Line sisters through this process… your strength, endurance, patience, and accountability is forever appreciated. 

Congratulations to my beautiful line sisters… and me! 🔺🐘❤️
