What inspired you to start writing?
My writing began out of a personal miracle. After being hurt by someone I trusted and diagnosed with HIV, God healed me completely. During that time of fasting and prayer, He gave me words to share—stories and tools to help others move from bitterness to wholeness. Writing became my way to testify of His power and guide others to healing in Christ.

Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
From Bitter to Better is a faith-based guide to help women heal from emotional pain and step into wholeness. Using my R.A.P. method—Reflect, Act, Pray—I walk readers through practical steps, scriptures, and affirmations that turn hurt into hope and bitterness into a better life in Christ.
