About

We launched in the spring of 2020 to provide a platform for people to share their stories. Over the course of countless conversations we've had with people each week, we've learned that God can bring great triumph out of tragedy.

Our podcast host Brieanna Lightfoot Smith suffered from suicidal thoughts as a teen and after overcoming those thoughts launched an organization that helps women of color cultivate community. 

Monique Rodriguez, of Mielle Organics, had a child who was born brain dead after he passed away she went on to launch a global haircare brand. 

Cristabelle Braden suffered a horrendous brain injury, but as she recovered she began writing songs to tell her story.

These are just some of the testimonies shared by women on our platform and we know you have a story too. Keep reading for ways we can connect with you.
