    Episode 17: Before It’s Too Late – Honoring the Fallen
    Sep 5 2025
    Hey my lilies 🌺,

    This episode is one of the heaviest and most personal I’ve ever shared. In August 2015, I lost my baby cousin Jordan to gun violence, and in September 2023, my older cousin Redrick was taken from us through jail violence. Two different paths, two different stories, but both lives stolen too soon.

    In this episode, I honor their memories while reflecting on the reality our young men face every day — wrong place, wrong time, systemic traps, and the lack of mentorship that could have guided them to a better outcome. Through clips from Coach Carter and Antwone Fisher, I connect their stories to broader truths about the struggles and choices our youth face, and the urgency of stepping in before it’s too late.

    This isn’t just about loss — it’s about love, legacy, and lifting up the next generation. Jordan and Redrick now stand as angels in my life, and through this episode, I pray their stories help inspire change, healing, and action.

    🎧 Tune in now and let’s walk through this reflection together.

    Aug 16 2025
    Hey my lilies 🌺
    In this continuation of our “Who Do You Trust?” series, we dive into the moments when our way meets God’s way—and how trust becomes a testimony. Brandye and I reflect on the unexplainable, those times when God showed up in ways that defied logic and left no doubt that He was in control.

    If you’ve ever had a season where faith had to carry you further than reason, this episode is for you.

    Episode 13 – “Who Do You Trust?”
    Aug 15 2025
    Hey my lilies 🌺
    Today’s episode is all about trust—what it really means and where we choose to place it. Some people trust in the universe, others in people, but what happens when we shift that trust to God?

    In this episode, I sit down with one of our lilies, Brandye, to talk about why trusting in God is different, why it matters, and how it changes everything. This is just Part 1 of our conversation, and trust me, you don’t want to miss where this is going!

    Episode 12: Ink & Identity
    Aug 7 2025
    🎙️ Hey my lilies 🌺
    In this soul-stirring episode of Ink & Impact, we honor Zora Neale Hurston — a woman who wrote the truth even when the world wasn’t listening. We explore what it means to become, to write without applause, and to trust that silent seeds still bloom.

    From navigating identity to writing through uncertainty, this episode is a call to every woman who’s still figuring it out — and still showing up anyway.

    ✨ Featuring a “Dear Me” letter challenge, a tribute to Zora’s legacy, and a reminder that your voice matters — even when it’s whispered.

    🌿 Let’s talk roots, writing, and the impact that outlives us.
