Rising from the Ashes: How God Transformed My Life from Poverty to Abundance

God removed me from poverty—not just financial, but mental and emotional lack too.

He delivered me from a defeatist mindset and opened my life to abundance in mind, body, and spirit.

Through healing, wellness, and the release of a scarcity mindset, I’ve learned what it means to truly live in overflow. No longer waiting for validation or permission—I’m now building my grant writing and philanthropy empire, one class, one connection, and one answered prayer at a time.

The Beginning of My Journey

When I left California and took a leap of faith as a single mom moving to Georgia, I didn’t have a safety net. No big savings account.

No family to catch me.

Just a couple of friends—none in a position to carry me through.

The Turning Point

But I made a decision:

If I didn’t want to die, I had to choose to live.

I trusted that God would sustain me—and He did.

Not just with provision, but with purpose.

That leap wasn’t just a relocation, it was a resurrection. ✝️

Embracing Abundance

Living in the uncertainty of an ever changing world (the economy, the pandemic, etc.) shifted how I saw myself , my relationship with ministry and how I saw the world. My bond with my Heavenly Father increased because I realized I was prioritizing everything but our relationship.
