I know what it means to love God and still have to unlearn some of what the church taught me about God, myself, and my place in the world.
 

I was raised in the Black Baptist tradition, where I developed a deep love for God, Scripture, and the church. But I also learned that women were expected to serve, sacrifice, and stay within boundaries men set. When I accepted my call to preach, I had to confront the very teachings that had shaped my faith.
 

That journey taught me something I carry into my work today: You can hold on to your faith without holding on to everything you were taught.
 

As a womanist theologian and practitioner, ordained minister, board-certified chaplain, author, and spiritual coach, I have spent years helping Black women of faith find their voices and challenge the beliefs that have kept them silent. But I have also come to understand that a woman can reclaim her voice and still have a weary soul.

That is why I created Soul Sanctuary.

​

Soul Sanctuary is not another place where Black women are expected to serve, perform, lead, or prove how strong they are. It is a digital and in-person sacred space where we can set down some of what we have been carrying, ask the questions we once feared, and explore a relationship with God that makes room for our full humanity.

​

Grounded in womanist theology and shaped by my own spiritual journey, this space honors the wisdom of our foremothers while making room for women to examine inherited beliefs, reconnect with themselves, and experience spiritual renewal without judgment.

I believe our faith should nourish us, not diminish us. I believe rest is sacred. And I believe Black women deserve spaces where they are cared for, not simply called upon to care for everybody else.

​

UnMuted Voices is where I help women reclaim their voices. Soul Sanctuary is where I invite them to tend to the souls that have carried those voices.

Welcome to Soul Sanctuary. Reclaim Your Spirit. Return to Yourself.
