I declared this the year of prosperity. 

After many years of starting my journey of self – care and confidence without realizing, I had taken on my family’s healing, too. 

It was the only way to get the support I need and make some major moves.

Sankofa is a word in the Twi language of Ghana and Asante Adinkra symbol that translates to “go back and get it”, to return and get what is at risk of being left behind. 

It had been long past time to return the favor to my sons, the Black boys who gave me life when it felt like I was losing it.

For many years I prayed for answers and justice for people who hurt me.

I let go and let God.

I went to therapy and read the self help books.

I’ve been letting go of:

unforgiveness,

imposter syndrome,

perfectionism,

fear,

self doubt

and

am stepping into God’s purpose and plan for my life.

I am

affirming myself more,

putting myself first,

not worrying about anything, f

focusing on positive vibes,

self care,

living life to fullest,

and

honoring God.

A Black pastor almost killed my faith and got me exiled from the church I was attending but my faith didn’t crumple and God gave me life again.

God nursed me back to life when the world I knew discarded me. 

Everyone has a story.

My prayers have been answered.

I am going to fight for me and my children’s healing.

I have a vendetta with our ancestor’s past.

God spare the fury of the violence that so many Black women have endured. 

It’s never too late to fight for your life and dreams.

“Your story inspires me, Alicia.”

Many have told me this.

Now I am telling you.

Black woman, Your story inspires me.

You are going to transform the lives of many including your family.

I see you.

Making plans and searching for answers.

Everything you’ve done up to this point has prepared you for this moment.

Did you do your vision board for New Years again?

Saying to yourself “Another year to get my life in order.”

It’s never too late.

I know you’re tired of the enemy attacking you every time you try to step out on faith and get things done.

I know you’re frustrated waiting on God for answers and to intervene.

I know you’ve gotten distracted and forgotten who you are.

I was reminded by my Sister in Christ who I am.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalms 139:14

It’s time to finally heal from trauma in your life so you can live and build your legacy in peace.

Black women entrepreneurs, I am interceding on your behalf right now that this year is you and your family’s best year.

I would love to help you finally finish your book.
