Maybe you should trust the missed connections, the calls gone unanswered, the opportunities that had every reason to work out but didn’t. Maybe you should trust in the small signs before they become big ones. Maybe you should trust those tiny contractions, the nights that exhaust you and the people who don’t see you and the places that make you feel that subtle uneasiness. Maybe you should learn to trust in what passes you by so you’ll begin to trust in what lands right in front of you. Maybe you should trust that in what isn’t working, because it might be trying to guide you to what will.

Anyone feeling down tonight-- remember that the God of the Universe wants you alive. He created you. He gave you the breath of life. You wouldn't still be here if your purpose had ended. He wants you on this earth right now. No matter how loud the darkness is-- the Light of the World loves you so much.

For a long time I didn't believe it when people told me that God wanted me alive. But it's true. Because I wouldn't be alive today if God hadn't fought for my life in so many ways.

He has a purpose for you, beloved. Your life is precious to Him.

Our bodies are temples. Don't pull the stones from the walls.

Yahweh wants you alive so that you may see His eternal love played out in your life.

He wants you alive.

My emotions have been running high all day. This doesn't feel real. I want to look in the mirror and tell my inner child that I'm doing my best to make him proud, but I'm afraid of the tears I'll shed. I won't bog you down with my sappiness, so I'll keep this short. Keep showing up for what you love and believe in. Even when the days feel darkest. Life always finds ways to surprise you. Just keep showing up. I can't believe this kid from Angola is on Forbes! 🌹

For those who are Spotify loyalists and stream undiscovered R&B singers on the platform, undoubtedly, many are familiar with the hidden gem

An exclusive talk with Davis and director Gina Prince-Bythewood about making a groundbreaking historical epic, out this fall.

Vanity Fair: Viola, I think viewers will be amazed by your beefed-up physical transformation. You really trained hard to play General Nanisca.

Viola Davis: We started intensely a few months before shooting—four hours a day, five days a week. Weight training, sprinting, martial arts, and weaponry training for the machete. I like to say that I was the OG warrior. [Laughs.]

Vanity Fair: The battle scenes in the film appear to be graphic, and culturally specific. We see dark-skinned Black women with well-oiled bodies, muscles, and serrated fingernails that are used as murder weapons.

Prince-Bythewood: My approach was that you don’t need to add anything to the story. These women were fascinating and didn’t need to be embellished or glossy. I wanted it to be real and visceral and raw.

Vanity Fair: Will it be difficult for the average American moviegoer to digest these images of ferociously powerful, dark-skinned female warriors? I kept thinking as I watched the early footage that Black women have never been seen this way onscreen before.

Prince-Bythewood: If you can digest Avatar, then you can digest this.
