Thank you for sharing this. Looking forward to supporting your podcast. I am reading your book now. I will be sure to add a positive review. I really hope to be a better “neighbor to those without an address.” Keep allowing God to use you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support and for reading the book. Which book are you reading? That’s the mission—loving our neighbors as ourselves.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Like your father, you're a man of resilience. I wanted to share a community/space that I think would be a great place to share your work-Afros and Audio. It's a community event hosted every year focused on Black podcasting. It's being held in Baltimore in October. Truly phenomenal people and community. I look forward to supporting your work and hearing more stories from you.
Thank you so much for your message. Your words really resonated with me, especially about resilience. I appreciate the recommendation to check out Afros and Audio, and I’ll definitely look it up. It sounds like a fantastic community!
You always seem to speak words of healing and peace and refreshment. And I see you in your journey juggling and struggling with the hard stuff and sharp points that cause s tender heart to be wounded, when crushed.
Words can't really help here and yet words spoken by someone we admire and respect, even if those words come from unresolved pain or unbearable pressure, can help us. We are connected, over to another, and we find a grit that comes from just _knowing_ that someone sees, someone understands, someone _knows_ what the dark nights of doing and fear feel like.
I pray for you and your heart and you consider this next step. Your voice is wanted, yes, but those who know you also want your healing and your refreshment.
But I think we need this conversation because we didn't need canned answered and ten point checklists for healing our hearts. We need someone to know us, to hear us, and we need to know that our griefs are not imaginary nor are they the result of revenge or repayment.
I pray for your soul, friend, and I pray for your confidence as you proceed to these next steps.
Your father was an awesome man. You are blessed, now, because you knew him. As a father myself, I can say that we can be perhaps inordinately proud of our children when they become healers and peace makers and gentle souls. I know I'd be proud to see this in my children (and *am" proud) for this, and I believe your father would be so proud of you for this next big step.
These are powerful words, and I am so grateful for them. Your words have truly blessed me, and I am grateful for your prayers.
I'm actually in a really healthy place despite all I have endured, and I praise God for it—because I am doing the work with the Lord leading me. I genuinely believe that healthiness doesn't always mean being free from struggle, so I have learned to live with this tension.
Terrence congrats on surviving the desert and getting to the other side. I do hope you can remind us of the love we should have for each other and the fact that we are mere humans and it is only thru Christ and his love for us that we can truly get beyond ourselves and love our brothers and sisters. Call up our humanity. Plant and water the seed and let’s watch love make it grow. Good on you, Sir. I
It is so so so important, to reach out and extend the hand and the voice to engage in the conversation that so many people would either…
1) Just NOT have the conversation at all ( ignore it)
2) say I don’t know what to do but I’ll give a dollar and smile at “those people”
3) Hate and condemn people for not being “strong enough “ to pull themselves up.
As a previously unhomed woman with children in my young days, I can speak to the need for YOUR particular voice, questions, thoughts, commentary and especially the life that lives inside your grief.
I don’t know you but I’m so very proud of you and I encourage you forward with Love and fair skies and following winds.

I am reading I See You. Books come into my life at just the right time. This one sure did. Thank you.

Thank you! Most definitely. Loving our neighbors as the Lord has commanded us to do 🙏🏾
Terence, Do that.
Do This.

We are we. The I in us is the God in what we choose to see and also what we choose to share, no matter how ridiculously vulnerable.
I send powerful strength to your salt and light. ❤️
