Still, I Say Amen

I walked through fire that never asked my nameCarried scars that never healed the sameI’ve cried out prayers with bloodied kneesAnd heard silence loud enough to shake belief I’ve buried hope beneath courtrooms and ashLearned that mercy doesn’t always come fastBut in the dark, where the answers don’t land—I’ve still been held by nail-scarred hands… Continue reading Still, I Say Amen

To the parents of a neurodivergent child

I see you. I see you in the supermarket, eyes darting, shoulders tight, praying for a smooth trip but bracing for the stares, the whispers, the judgment.

What The Legal System Misses When It Ignores a Miracle

In 2018, we were the story people whispered about. Addicts. Homeless. Lost. Broken. In 2025, we became a story people tell — to offer hope.

And yet, right… Continue reading What The Legal System Misses When It Ignores a Miracle

Dear God, Are You Still Listening

Sometimes the weight gets heavy, and I find myself reaching for something bigger than me — for comfort, for clarity, for peace.For me, that’s God. This letter isn’t here to preach or convince. It’s just one of those raw moments — where I let the quiet part of my soul speak, and maybe someone out… Continue reading Dear God, Are You Still Listening

Will Always Be My Reason

To my babies — There are days this world is heavy.There are nights I cry after you’ve fallen asleep, and mornings I have to choose — all over again — to get up and fight. But every time I do… it’s because of you.It’s always been you. I want you to know something, and I… Continue reading Will Always Be My Reason
