Encourage A Sista

On January 25, 2025, I took a leap of faith—choosing to trust and obey—and launched Encourage A Sista!

This movement was born from a deep belief in the transformative power of support and encouragement.

What began as a personal vision has now blossomed into a grassroots initiative dedicated to uplifting

women from all walks of life. In this article, I share the journey of how this movement came to be, the 

inspiration behind its creation, the ways it is taking shape and my hopes for its future.

The Spark: How It All Began

The spark that ignited Encourage A Sista came during a moment of reflection at a family member’s funeral. In

the midst of grief, I was struck by a statement from the mourning father. He thanked everyone for supporting

the family during this time while he acknowledged the precious life of his daughter; he then asked the 

question, “what are we doing?” The father expressed our busy and full day —watching TV, scrolling through

social media, attending events, and the passing of time and God is there, saying, ‘Okay, I’ll wait.’’ Those words resonated deeply within me. I began to ask myself: Is this what I do? Yes, I engage

in meaningful and productive activities, but am I truly walking in my purpose? The answer was humbling—

yes and no. That realization led me to seek clarity about my God-given assignments and to help others

do the same, and so, Encourage A Sista! Was born—a mission to inspire, uplift, and awaken purpose in the

lives of women, urging them to embrace their divine calling.

It is true that many women, despite their strength and resilience, often navigated their challenges in isolation. Conversations with friends, colleagues, and community members revealed a shared sentiment: that encouragement and support from another sister could make all the difference in overcoming hurdles.

It was during a particularly challenging phase in my life that I recognized this need firsthand. Surrounded

by inspiring women who were quietly battling their own struggles, women who often felt overlooked or

undervalued, I realized that we needed a space dedicated solely to uplifting one another—a platform that

could transform individual hardships into collective empowerment. This realization was the catalyst that

led to the birth of Encourage A Sista!

How we’re Bringing Change

Bringing Encourage A Sista to life has involved initiatives designed to foster community and connection.

Here’s how we’re making a difference: A Safe Space, a Support Network and Empowerment through Action.

For me, this is more than just a movement—it’s a personal mission to ensure that every woman knows she is

seen, heard, and valued.

Looking Forward: The Future of Encourage A Sista!

As Encourage A Sista grows, my vision is for it to evolve into a global community of empowered women.

I expect this movement to spark not only individual transformations but also broader cultural shifts. My

hope is that, in the future, the ethos of encouragement becomes a standard part of how we interact—with

a world where uplifting one another is as natural as breathing. I envision a time when every sista has a

network of support that champions her potential, and where acts of encouragement ripple outward,

influencing families, communities, and workplaces. Encourage A Sista is more than a movement; it’s a call

to action. It’s an invitation to every woman to be both arecipient and a giver of encouragement, creating a legacy of empowerment that will resonate for generations to come, with Christ at the core, we can do all things. 

Here are the key components that drive this mission:

Faith-Centered- Encouragement- Authentic Connections- Active Listening & Support-Personal

& Professional Growth- Kindness & Compassion in Action Inspiration through Shared Experiences -

Empowerment & Accountability.

In Conclusion

Launching Encourage A Sista has been a transformative journey—one that has deepened my

understanding of purpose, faith, and the power of encouragement. I have come to realize that at God’s

table, there is no competition. There is room for everyone to be filled full, to grow, and to reflect His unique

design. Encourage A Sista is more than just words; it is a call to action, a commitment to love, and a mission

to see each other thrive. “Encouraging a sista is one of my birth assignments. I

am intentional about the life given to me, the choices I have made, and the experiences I have lived—both

personally and professionally. Through grace, I have come to understand the power of love, kindness,

observation, silence, listening, and encouragement. These are not just qualities but powerful tools that

equip me to accept, understand, give advice, direct, and support others. In using these gifts, I fulfill my

purpose—uplifting and strengthening those around me.” My encouragement to my Sista’s is: “Sisters, let us

exercise the muscle of encouragement! Just as we need to be uplifted, we must also uplift others. When we

become vessels of encouragement, we spread and share the love of God with one another. Through kindness,

consideration, and a genuine desire to see each other thrive, we help one another live to our full potential.

Let’s complete the assignments God has given us from birth, hand in hand, with hearts full of love and

purpose.”
