This is why I wrote it.

Starting a speaking engagement off with a laugh is my MO! For a year, everyone in Talladega called me Sherry (and I answered 😂) because that was the name of the cafe… Sherry is my beautiful mama.

What an awesome day of sharing my story and fellowshipping with First Methodist Talladega. My hometown and its people are forever a big part of who I am.

I gave my daughter the proof copy of my new devotional about a week ago. She texted me today that she’d finally started and that it’s a 10/10. She just wished there was more lines to write on!! (Noted, lol).
Reading her text made me cry and let me know those prayers I prayed resonated with someone else on their purpose walk.
I wrote this devotional from a tough place in my entrepreneurial journey… from Obedience. There have been days that I’ve been overjoyed, but many when I felt I was losing my mind. Days that I didn’t have enough money to meet obligations, days I resented my calling. Most importantly, there were even more days when my obedience blessed others. This devotional helps you after YES. Yes, God! I’ll jump, step out on faith, and walk in purpose.

Looking for a Speaker for your Event?
Your event doesn't need another motivational speaker. You need someone who's lived the breaking. Who understands what it feels like to say yes to a calling that costs everything. Who knows the difference between comfort and obedience. Who can speak about faith from inside the wilderness, not from the other side of arrival.
I'm available for speaking engagements:
Churches | Conferences | Retreats | Women's Events | Community Gatherings
Topics I speak on: Obedience & Breaking | Faith That Costs Something | The Wilderness Season | Identity & Wholeness | Releasing What You Love When God Says It's Time
Author of Stick A Fork In Me, I'm Done (Dating) & After Yes, a devotional born from pain, prayer, and obedience. Based in Atlanta and Alabama. Available for travel. 👉🏽DM or email to discuss availability and topics.

Obedience is hard!!
After Yes — A 30-Day Prayer Journey for Anyone Who Left Safe to Build Something Real.
I wrote this devotional while living it. Not from the other side of a breakthrough — from the middle of it. The financial pressure that does not pause for faith. The doubt that shows up when provision runs thin. The exhaustion of building something real while holding everything else together.
This is not a devotional about arriving. It is honest company for the road you are already on.
30 days. Real struggle. Honest prayers. KJV scripture. Journaling space to write your own.
If you said yes to something that cost you — this is for you.
Get your copy on Amazon. 🙏🏽
And if all you can do today is show up again — let that be enough.
