“A Rev. #JesseJackson-inspired quote: It does not matter who does not see your value, worth, potential and possibilities, you see it and believe in it and make the world adjust and take notice. All of which you do in service to your God and human family near and worldwide.

#ToGodBeTheGlory: Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today has been a surprisingly reflective day for me. In my reflections, I thought about how my momma often tells me that “whatever I set my mind to do, I do!” #AudaciousAmbitiousAscent #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #ChosenCreateCultivateChange

I reflected on how some of life’s disappointments have caused me to be less courageous, daring, audacious and persistent in certain areas of my life. On this 2026 #InternationalWomensDay, I reclaim my courageous, audacious, persistent God dreaming spirit! #AudaciousAmbitiousAscent #IAmANewDayDawning

The intersectionality of Fear, Faith, Favor and Freedom. “I’ll Tell You What Freedom Is to Me: No Fear!” ~Nina Simone What does it look like to be called to a place of no fear?! It looks like 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power & of love & of a sound mind.”

To me, no fear is synonymous with faith, freedom and love. To me, your greatest life and highest self is found at the place where your faith transcends your fears and transforms your fear into fuel for change. #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #FreeFavoredFruitful

Here is where you FREELY WILL things into being not because it is easy and without pain and struggle but in the midst of intense pain and struggle. We do so with God through our faith, power, love and self-discipline. #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #AudaciousAmbitiousAscent #IAmUnstoppable

People often quote this portion of The Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

I prefer the Angela Davis quote: “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.” This type of self-confidence - which God wants us to have - leads to faith that transcends our fears & enables us to access God’s limitless freedom, love and

possibilities for us and others. “We had to believe in ourselves & believe in what is possible.” ~ #JesseJackson #FreeFavoredFruitful #ConfidentCourageousChange #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #DisciplinedDeterminedDevotedDreaming #AudaciousAmbitiousAscent

Transformation is contagious! While everyone in the world is concerned - rightfully so - with the state of the nation and the world, change begins within and has the capacity and tremendous possibility to be a catalyst and spark for change externally. #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend

I leave you with the words of trailblazer #ShirleyChisholm: “I want history to remember me not as the first black woman to have made a bid for the presidency, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th century and who dared to be herself. I want to be remembered as a catalyst for change in America.”

My hope&prayer in this season is that #WeThePeople #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend: anything & anyone - including self - who tries to oppress & hold us back from who God created us to be; #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #IAmALoveRevolutionary #IAmUnstoppable #DisciplinedDeterminedDevotedDreaming

My hope and prayer is that we #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend: anyone & anything - self included - who seeks to undermine,oppress and kill the God-possibilities of our neighbors and ourselves; and any feelings and actions within and external to us that seek to choose hate over the way of love!

#ToGodBeTheGlory: Today was Hats, Hymns & Robes Sunday at #FCBCnyc! With songs like #IGotATestimony and putting on our Sunday best, this is a Sunday that takes me back to my Southern roots growing up in a small church in Alabama. #FCBCHarlem #FCBCnyc #IAmADisciple #IAmANewDayDawning

Still at #FCBCHarlem, no matter the Sunday, you are welcome to come as you are, as we are most concerned that you #LiveLoveServe as God created and calls us too! #IAmANewDayDawning #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend #WeAreTheOnesGodIsWaitingFor #FCBCnyc

On the day news hit that Rev. #JesseJackson had transitioned to be w/God, Jesus & the ancestors, I wore my vote tee in honor of him. In the 2026 midterms & in every election, may we show through our #GetOutTheVote actions that we believe in our voting power to make a difference. #WhyOurVoteCantWait

I love the evolution of #MichelleObama. In this season of her life, Michelle Obama lives like she has nothing to prove. I pray that in each season, I get more and more free, that I and my freedom steadfastly evolves, elevates and expands. 🙏🏾 #EvolveElevateExpand #FreeFavoredFruitful

Also I pray that I steadfastly #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend into my highest self. 🙏🏾 #EvolveElevateExpand #AligningActivatingALLPossibilities #ChosenCreateCultivateChange #FreeFavoredFruitful

What the Trump Administration and by extension those who are both complicit as well as those who directly power its’ propaganda, policies and administrative actions show us is that the ONLY way they know how to ‘Make America Great’ is through economic oppression rooted in hatred of others.

My #PilatesIsPolitical post is inspired by @barrewithadrienne, who provides the history lesson on Joseph Pilates and fascism in this post. I aligned her teaching with the teaching of Rev. #MikeWalrond’s #MLKDay 2026 teaching, which is rooted in the Carpenter Jesus’ teaching. #TheWayOfTheCarpenter

Further alignment is found in my rocking my #IAmADisciple cap during a Pilates class visit. Soundtrack in this post is Lauryn Hill’s Lost Ones,which is so fitting to who the United States is in this moment. #IAmALoveRevolutionary #TheWayOfTheCarpenter #ChosenCreateCultivateChange #PilatesIsPolitical

In thinking about #LiamConejoRamos, #ReneeGood, & the evil actions of the Trump Admin in America & outside America, I don’t see hell as a place America is going but is instead a place it is creating for herself & others. For you cannot create hell for others without creating it for yourself as well.

“The day he was assassinated, #MLKJr. called his mother to give her his next Sunday’s sermon title: ‘Why America May Go to Hell.’ He warned that ‘America is going to hell if we don’t use her vast resources to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of

Remember this: YOU WERE NOT CREATED TO LIVE SMALL, TO SHRINK BACK OR TO BE CONFINED BY YESTERDAY’S CHALLENGES! YOU WERE CREATED TO RISE, TO STEP BOLDLY INTO THE LIFE GOD SHAPED FOR YOU before the foundations of the Earth were laid.~Pastor #MikeWalrond @ #FCBCnyc #WatchNightService #IAmANewDayDawning

So, I charge you to live as a new day dawning. Let your light be the sunrise that breaks through the night of your fears! REFUSE TO BE DEFINED BY WHAT TRIED TO DIM YOUR LIGHT! WALK KNOWING THAT GOD HAS PLACED A GLOW WITHIN YOU THAT NO DARKNESS CAN OVER-SHATTER!~Pastor #MikeWalrond @ #FCBCnyc #FCBCla

CARRY YOURSELF AS ONE WHO EMBODIES RENEWAL, REBIRTH AND DIVINE POSSIBILITIES! I charge you to live the life you were created to live; honor the gifts that are yours; embrace the calling that speaks your name! DO NOT SETTLE FOR THE NARRATIVES OTHERS WROTE FOR YOU! ~Pastor #MikeWalrond at #FCBCnyc

STEP FULLY INTO THE STORY HEAVEN AUTHORED! LET PURPOSE BE YOUR COMPASS! LET COURAGE BE YOUR CLOTHING! LET FAITH BE YOUR STEADY GROUND! I charge you: RISE NOT AS ONE HOPING FOR A NEW DAY BUT AS ONE WHO IS THE NEW DAY GOD HAS SPOKE INTO THE WORLD! ~Pastor #MikeWalrond at #FCBCnyc #IAmANewDayDawning

AS YOU RISE, MAY YOUR LIGHT AWAKEN DORMANT DREAMS, heal broken places, and remind others that MORNING ALWAYS COMES! Go forward: luminous, grounded & unafraid! BE THE NEW DAY DAWNING: LET THE WORLD ADJUST TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR BECOMING! ~Pastor #MikeWalrond at #FCBCnyc #FCBCla #IAmANewDayDawning

#IAmANewDayDawning: A declaration that who I am right now is not who the night tried to convince me I would always be. And now I rise not b/c the morning is gentle, but b/c I AM STRONG. I RISE AS THE LIGHT I ONCE PRAYED FOR. ~Pastor #MikeWalrond at #FCBCnyc #FCBCla #WatchNightService #HappyNewYear

I rise as the living evidence that new beginnings are more than metaphors, they are assignments. This is the life where CALLING BECOMES COMPASS, PURPOSE BECOMES FUEL, & DESTINY BECOMES DAILY BREAD! I AM NOT WAITING ON A BREAKTHROUGH, I AM ONE! ~Pastor #MikeWalrond at #FCBCnyc #IAmANewDayDawning

#IAmANewDayDawning: I AM THE GLOW GOD PLACED IN THE WORLD TO REMIND SOMEONE THAT MORNING ALWAYS WINS! I LIVE BECAUSE GOD BREATHED ON ME! I SHINE BECAUSE GOD SPOKE THROUGH ME! I RISE BECAUSE GOD IS WITHIN ME! I REFUSE TO DIE HOLDING BACK WHAT HEAVEN PUT IN MY HANDS! ~Pastor #MikeWalrond at #FCBCnyc

A reflection from my time attending VP #KamalaHarris’ 107 Days book tour. It is my hope & prayer that disappointments & defeats do not have the final word in our lives. For God has more for us to become & do! #TriumphantlyTransformTranscend #AudaciousAmbitiousAscent #ChosenCreateCultivateChange
