All Things Lashawndra

Falling in love with your word again doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like staying. Like listening. Like being transformed quietly. Like letting God renew your mind before He expands your reach.

Psalm 91 reminds us that protection flows from abiding. Ministry flows from intimacy. And transformation happens when we stop trying to control the moment and simply dwell with Him.

God doesn’t rush formation. He honors it.

This season has come to a close, and so has a chapter of growth. What remains is clarity.

God has been faithful in shaping not just the work, but the woman leading it. I step forward rooted, confident, and fully aware of what has been entrusted to me.

As Founder and Executive Director of Black Farm Street Inc, I’m entering 2026 steady, prepared, and ready to walk in what’s been assigned.

People often ask me about green thumbs, or why they feel like theirs are black or purple. Growth always starts with the foundation. You have to check your soil. Where it stands will determine what it can produce.

We are all called to plant. We are also all called to water and nurture, sometimes by our own hands and sometimes by allowing others to pour in. But it is God who ultimately makes it grow.

So keep planting. Keep nurturing. Trust the process and give God room to do what only He can do.

Be Thankful for Life… for Presence.

Turns out clearer vision looks really good on me. Smile today and embrace you!

Hunting has taught me that discipline is not optional.

You prepare long before the moment arrives.
You rise early. You move with intention.
You learn restraint. Silence. Precision.
You wait without forcing outcomes.

And when the moment comes, the work is not over.
There is responsibility attached to what you pursue.
Care. Process. Patience. Follow through.

Nothing about it is casual.
Nothing is accidental.
The reward is not just the outcome. It is the readiness required to handle it.

That lesson applies far beyond the field.
Any calling worth stewarding demands the same level of respect.
Preparation. Commitment. Accountability. Completion.

It is about being equipped… Be ready In and Out of Season.

Welcome to All Things Lashawndra.

This season feels different. Softer. Brighter. More intentional.

I’ve grown through enough to finally stand in a space that holds all the parts of me. My faith. My womanhood. My voice. My purpose. And the quiet work God keeps doing in my heart.

For years, I poured myself into different lanes. Chef Shawn. Black Farm Street. I Am She, She Is Me. Ministry. Motherhood. Leadership. Healing. Becoming.

Now all of me gets to live in one place.

Here, you’ll find faith you can feel, clarity you can walk in, conversations that strengthen your spirit, womanhood in its fullness, and the gentle reminder that you’re allowed to rebuild, rise, and grow at your own pace.

This is my offering to those who are evolving, healing, and becoming the version of themselves God always saw.

Thank you for being here.

Let’s elevate in love.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all; pure, then, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of Mercy, and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.
