Reflecting on @theaffirmationsummit 9.22.2018. Yesterday, I had the honor of being the Keynote speaker for one of the most original, unique, authentic, healing & affirming events/experiences. If you missed it trust that you MUST be at the next one because it was indescribable & amazing is not descriptive enough for it. What many don’t know is... what I planned to share was very surface level. But God made me revamp & re write my entire speech the night before. He made me dig so much deeper. So much so, that as I was re-writing, I was literally balling crying having to revisit details that I’ve never shared with anyone before you all. Not even my closest friends. But God Loves each woman who attended so much that He needed and wanted to each of us to see ourselves, heal & be whole. He wants us to... “Persevere to Freedom”. Learning yourself, facing your truth, and forgiveness are never easy tasks. But when you conquer, there’s no greater freedom than learning & loving yourself flaws and all. per·se·ver·ance ˌpərsəˈvirəns/Submit noun steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:4 NIV Thank you ladies for allowing me to share in your presence, for all of the overwhelmingly, ahmazing feedback, words of encouragement, love, transparency & hugs. I love each and every one of you & am excited for your journeys. Thank you @ishagainesphoto, @honeybenaturalmag & @theaffirmationsummit team for an amazing, transformative experience for all of us yesterday! Stay tuned for more pics, video & photos to be shared here & in my IG Stories! ✨🖤👑 #tiakirby #theaffirmationsummit #learnandloveyou #heartofthematter #keynotespeaker #perserverance #selfcare #selflove #honeybenatural #oncamerahost #faithwalker #dallasevents #dallassocial #speaker #beautyinfluencer #dfwinfluencer #protectivestyles #hausofswag #flygirls #transformationalspeaker (at Lofty Spaces) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFAX0anOUe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ual7dlmymkve
