Within the pages of this journal, are some of my victories, challenges, and hardships infused with a sense of hope and freedom, encouraging us to trust and embrace something greater than ourselves This opens the doorway for women/girls of all races and religions who have been silenced or have been told to silence their unspoken stories because of shame, guilt, and doubt that cause them to remain in bondage to old hurts, pains, and struggles. By being transparent, this sets us free, word by word, page by page as we take this journal journey together.

By being transparent and accepting where I was brought about, a strength that I've never had before, a strength that was not my own, a strength was founded only through my relationship with the Creator-God himself. I pray that this journal bless, encourage, and create a boldness to hold your head up with the confidence and freedom to speak out loud.

Great Reminder: You may think that one of the worst things in the world is when people talk about you and tell lies on you and/or the ones that you thought truly were your friends and had your back, but! This is so far from the truth. One of the worst things is that we believe and accept what they say, which means we are calling God the Creator of all things a liar.

God is not like man/us. He cannot and will never lie to us.

Peel the layers back, Queen, and move forward in who God has created you to be! Believe. .
