Tonight I pressed my way to @mistyonpointe’s book signing @fishseddynyc with @abtofficial. On the #DayoftheGirl, it felt right to do this and be here. NYC was never my “dream” city. I actually find it VERY hard to be here. My being here is totally God’s dream for me. The challenges, struggles and obstacles that I have faced, overcome and endured personally, mentally and professionally have created me and continue to create me into my greatest, highest and best self. Girls and women in this nation and world have it tremendously hard for various reasons, especially black women and girls and other women and girls of color. On this #DayoftheGirl 2017, I want every woman and girl to know that those women and girls that they admire and look up to like #MistyCopeland are no different from them. These women and girls have “done the impossible” in the face of overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable odds. And they can to. In truth, they must, because this is the world we live in. To be a woman and girl is to be great, capable, and enough. My hope and pray is for there to be more pioneer women like Misty Copeland to show other women and girls and the world that #YesWeCan #KreateYourDestiny #KreateGodsDreams #KreateYourGodSelf #CreateAnotherAmerica! #KerseWords #MistyxFishsEddy 🙏🏿❤️💞

"God can dream bigger for me, for you, than you could ever dream for yourself." ~Oprah Winfrey This week starts a new journey for me, as I begin my role as Chief of Staff for Senate District 30's new State Senator. Being Chief of Staff for a State Senator is not a Kercena dream but is God's dream for me. I am completely surprised that this is my life right now!!! 😲😆 Whatever hopes and dreams you have for your life, have faith in their possibilities, so much so that your words, deeds and beliefs work together to bring them to pass. While you are believing, trusting and working to bring them to pass, God will be busy being God in your life and the world. Using God's power and all that God has created (the Universe), God will partner with you, through your #faith, to create the unimaginable, unbelievable and impossible in your life. I am SO very thankful, humbled and grateful for God's dreams for me and us. #ToGodBeTheGlory, a black woman, me, is going to the State Senate as Chief of State for a young, black, bold, service and policy-focused, and results-oriented leader. Pray for me, him, the entire team, our community, the State legislature, and the entire State. My team at my former job blessed me with many parting gifts. Two of the gifts consisted of a crown as well as a mug that reads "act like a lady, think like a boss." Both can be found in my picture collage. 😆 I am moving forward in this journey remembering who I am (God's beloved daughter who was chosen by God for such a time as this! Hence my Nichelle Kobi "Dare to be different" art piece and my "woman's place" tee are pictured in this collage); on whose shoulders I stand (Hence, me choosing to wear a shirt on my last day of work with the names of pioneering, #UnBoughtAndUnbossed women who transformed this country with their faith); and who is with me (God and the Universe are with me and have my back! Hence my #TrustingtheLord work journal is pictured in the collage). Have faith to #KreateYourDestiny #KreateGodsDreams #KreateYourGodSelf and #CreateAnotherAmerica! And watch God blow your mind!!! #KerseWords 👑☺️🙏🏿💪🏿✊🏿🙋🏿

There is no such thing as being "ahead of one's time." As God's creation, we are "right on time." It is the world that is "behind." Our very existence is a sign of what should be. Never play small, b/c the world can't see or refuses to accept & acknowledge ur greatness, who you are, & what you have to offer. Be fearless & persistent in aligning the world to where it should be in respect to you & all of creation! #KreateYourGodSelf #CreateAnotherAmerica #KerseWords #Luke8:1-8 Message - Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently & never quit. He said, “There was once a judge in some city who never gave God a thought & cared nothing for people. A widow in that city kept after him: ‘My rights are being violated. Protect me!’ “He never gave her the time of day. But after this went on & on he said to himself, ‘I care nothing what God thinks, even less what people think. But b/c this widow won’t quit badgering me, I’d better do something &see that she gets justice—otherwise I’m going to end up beaten black-and-blue by her pounding.’” Then the Master said, “Do you hear what that judge, corrupt as he is, is saying? So what makes you think God won’t step in & work justice for his chosen people, who continue to cry out for help? Won’t he stick up for them? I assure you, he will. He will not drag his feet. But how much of that kind of persistent faith will the Son of Man find on the earth when he returns?” NRSV - Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always & not to lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him & saying, ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’ For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, ‘Though I have no fear of God & no respect for anyone, yet b/c this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.’” & the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. & will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day & night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you,he will quickly grant justice to them

#Romans8:15-30 Message - 15-17 This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God w/a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits & confirms who we really are. We know who he is, & we know who we are: Father & children. & we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times w/him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times w/him! 26-28 … He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, & keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. 29-30 God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. “I learned to put my trust in God and to see Him as my strength. Long ago I set my mind to be a free person and not to give in to fear. I always felt that it was my right to defend myself if I could. I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.” - #RosaParks #womensday #InternationalWomensDay

In #NYC, families with children are the largest percentage of those experiencing #homelessness. Today 400 parents and children experiencing #homelessness were treated to a free screening of @hiddenfiguresmovie. #HiddenFigures is a story of overcoming the most impossible of odds and greatest of barriers to be who society and the world said you couldn't and did all in their power to prevent. It was my honor to serve alongside my colleagues in helping at this most special event. When you pray and as you fight for #justice, please remember all those in our city, country and world that are dealing with issues of #poverty. Poverty is no one's birthright! With God, may we, against all odds, eradicate poverty and all rise together! @kevincostnermodernwest's character (#AlHarrison) would say to @tarajiphenson's character (#KatherineJohnson) when contemplating the possibilities of space travel: "I am already there." When it comes to eradicating poverty nationally and internationally, I am already there! We are already there in terms of living in a world without poverty! Believe it and put your faith into action to create this type of world! #EndChildPoverty #CareforNYChomeless #RiseMySistersNYC #CreateAnotherAmerica
