Before you were anything else, you were and are a Daughter of God. With all the titles and identities and responsibilities we take on, it can be easy to forget that we are daughters.
In this episode, Tawana takes us on a journey of how she went from being born to drug addicted parents, to going through the foster care system, to stripping at the strip club, to experiencing rejection and harsh treatment to finally coming to a place of belonging and embracing her identity as a Daughter in God's Kingdom.

Cancel culture has extended to friendships and has made mending adult friendships seem weak or toxic.
With the current trend of wanting everything to come "with ease" we can easily forget that all relationships, even our adult- healthy- friendships require work and intentionality.
In this episode, I get really vulnerable in this intimate conversation with my dear sister friend, Auriane Itangishaka, and how we found ourselves going from being "as thick as thieves" to walking on egg shells.
This is the grown and necessary conversation that we need as women of faith when it comes to navigating and mending adult relationships.
