Hello Lovelies! How's the week coming? Who's missed us? 😄😄😄😄
Will be sharing the inspiring story of a leading woman who went through pain while growing up but decided to put the past behind her and turn her pain to purpose 👑💕... We all know there is power in story telling 😁😄 Enjoy the amazing story and be inspired 🙌🙌🙌
...
Less than a year after Time magazine deemed Bishop T.D. Jakes "America's Best Preacher," Sarah , his daughter, discovered that she was pregnant at 13.
Although her family stood by her side as the judgment poured in, the shame that loomed wouldn't be easy to shake. Sarah worked tirelessly to finish high school early while raising her son, but her attempt to redeem her image unraveled in college as she sunk into an unhealthy relationship (and, later, marriage) marked by infidelity and deceit.
She later went through a difficult public divorce. On the brink of divorce, Sarah launched a personal blog as an outlet to address her hurt through prayers and stories that mirrored her own. In this space, she didn't have to conceal her brokenness.
Here, she had the liberty to own her scars. Little did she know, she would draw an audience of women longing to do the same.
In an interview with Black Enterprise, Sarah Roberts narrated her experience by stating : "I wish that I could tell you that it was just one moment, but it was a series of events. Each of those events was rooted in service. I was in my first marriage, and at a really broken point in my life.
I didn’t want to go through another church scandal by first being a teen mom, and then having a divorce so I thought to myself I’ll blog, and hopefully through blogging, I’ll be able to help another woman avoid some of the issues that I’m dealing with.
The more that I blogged about my situation, the more I asked myself what if you became the woman who is on the other side of those words? What if you actually took control of your life and decided to not just be this “mother” who is just going to die for their sake? As I was blogging and connecting with other women, and seeing that I wasn’t the only one who had made difficult choices, it really inspired me to see what we could do if I dusted off the ashes and chose to rebuild.
Glad to share with you today that Sarah Roberts has turned her pain into purpose by leading a ministry and creating her own entrepreneurial lane with a podcast, fashion line, and Woman Evolve, a national conference and movement to help women shatter glass ceilings.
She is today a four-time author, media personality, wife, and mother of four children. She has a flair for inspiring women to get through difficult times in their lives while deepening their relationship with God and she does it her way.
Sarah Roberts speaks on stage with a vibrant personality and her own style, she challenges everything from church and cultural norms to self limiting beliefs, and toxic relationships.
