This was more than a book signing.
It was a homecoming.

To sit in Jamaica — the land that shaped me, the soil that raised me — and sign Becoming Whole: Letters to the Woman I Am surrounded by women who came with open hearts… it was sacred.

We gathered around tea. Around stories. Around laughter that rose from deep places. We leaned in close, held books between us, and held each other in ways only women can. There is something ancient about women coming together. We have always gathered — to prepare meals, to birth babies, to grieve, to celebrate, to pray. And when we gather intentionally, something powerful happens. We remind each other who we are.

Watching women stand in line not just for a signature, but for connection… seeing sisters embrace, seeing joy spill across faces… it moved me deeply. This book began as quiet journal entries in my favorite chair. I never imagined those private whispers would travel across waters and return home with me.

Jamaica, you held me. You celebrated me. You showed me once again that when women come together in love and purpose, there is beauty beyond measure.

And this… this is only the beginning.

Here I am in Jamaica, standing in my fullness at the launch of And the Women Gather, my heart anchored in the island that raised me and the woman I have become. Beside me are copies of Becoming Whole: Letters to the Woman I Am—a book born from courage, reflection, and the decision to live unapologetically whole.

This photograph is more than a moment; it is a declaration.

It says: I am ready.
It says: I am taking control of my life.
It says: I am powerful, I am strong, and I am no longer waiting for permission.

In this season, I step forward boldly—grounded in my roots, clear in my purpose, and fully available for the life I was born to live. Jamaica is my beginning, but this is my becoming.

Do you have a photo that tells the world, “I am ready”?
A photo that says, “I am stepping out in my boldness”?

This is mine. And I am just getting started.

Today’s Musing. This child is born for greatness .

She is dressed to go out, yes—but first, she pauses.

Before the door opens, before the night unfolds, she stands still and reads a blessing over her own life. Not rushed. Not performative. Sacred. Intentional.

She reads with the knowing that lives in her gut, in her bones—that deep ancestral knowing that whispers, you are already blessed. She knows great things are not only coming to her, but moving through her. She is not asking for vanity or applause. She is asking for alignment.

Her prayer is simple and vast all at once:
God, bless me so that I may bless others.

She prays for courage that travels farther than her own footsteps. She prays for impact that crosses oceans. She prays for women she may never meet but whose lives will be changed because she said yes to the call.

In her quiet moment, she sees it clearly—her name spoken in Sub-Saharan Africa, carried on the lips of midwives, mothers, and daughters. Spoken as the name of a woman who helped turn the tide. A woman who stood in the gap. A woman who helped reduce maternal and infant mortality not by accident, but by purpose.

This is not just a prayer.
It is a declaration.
It is obedience.
It is legacy in motion

And so it is.
