I used to be proud of being a perfectionist, but I donā€™t wanna do it anymore. Perfectionism hides fear, for me it was a fear of being rejected or abandonedā€¦again.…

Come with me to get our director Mr @tylerperry of Come with me to get our director Mr @tylerperry of The Six Triple Eight movie and our choreographer the incredible Ms @therealdebbieallen a thank you card! šŸ’— We had so many wonderful memories when filming @sixtripleeight_netflix but one of the best things about it was meeting so many diverse and beautiful Black women working as a unit of over 200 everyday right here in UK šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ It was so powerful and healing for me particularly having grown up in a small town in Yorkshire as the only Black girl in my school. We danced, laughed and cried togetheršŸ„¹ And Ms Debbie made sure we marched perfectly together too - guys she does not play when it comes to her craft šŸ¤£ā¤ļø Filming in the freezing UK February weather was definitely a challenge but we encouraged each other and built a wonderful sisterhood. Because we knew that the women of the 6888th battalion went through the worst conditions and persevered to victory! It was a double pleasure to film part of this in my university town @universityofbradford and work with the locals again ā¤ļø We were so honoured to have been part of history! šŸ«” #sixtripleeight #6888

After a year of healing from toxic shame and child After a year of healing from toxic shame and childhood abuse, in September 2024 I attended Woman Evolve conference in Dallas, TexasšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øand experienced my full breakthrough ā›“ļø The week before my flight to Dallas, I had finally confronted and disclosed my abuse to family involved. But it hadnā€™t really sank in. Everything was happening so fast and I couldnā€™t quite believe that I was free or what it meant to be free. It was like the speakers at @womanevolve knew that chains needed to broken and burnt to the ground. From worship with Tasha Cobbs to the messages from Dr Anita Phillips, @sarahjakesroberts and in this clip @sherylbrady there was a POWERFUL repetition and reiteration of Godā€™s UNFAILING love for us. That God knew us, saw us and he loved us even before he formed the foundations of the earth. That God CHOSE us. What does it even mean That God chose YOU? Thereā€™s a story of a man named David, you probably know him as King David the great warrior and psalmistšŸ¤“šŸæ But before he was king, David was just a boy. He was a son, a little brother of 7 and a shepherd of his fatherā€™s flock. David was so ordinary that when the prophet Samuel came to anoint the next king of Israel, Davidā€™s own father didnā€™t even think to include him in the lineupšŸ˜¢ Actually the prophet took one look at his older, taller, more handsome brother and wanted to anoint him instead! But God stepped in and said that he doesnā€™t use the same factors as people when it comes to choosing, he sees the heart ā¤ļø God had chosen David. David lived a tumultuous life of incredible highs and direst lows. At one point he was running for his life, tears on a rock for a pillow, fighting alone in the darkest corner with no one to support or encourage him. But David never gave up because he chose to BELIEVE that God was always with him. David didnā€™t have looks like AJ, billions in the bank, an MBA or experience in Kingship. But God chose him for the same reason he chooses you - coz you are his, and he is yours. When David CHOSE God back, he stepped into his power, his strength and his PURPOSE . What are you gonna step into in 2025? I canā€™t wait to see what your YES will unveil šŸ¤—
And then this happened!šŸ™†šŸæā€ā™€ļø So it was And then this happened!šŸ™†šŸæā€ā™€ļø So it was January 2023 and I was on a solo trip in Malta bringing in the new year. I was confused and stressed about my life, so I decided to start the year in St Paulā€™s Bay praying and fasting for Godā€™s guidance. On the second day of my prayer & fasting I got a text from my old agency saying I should apply for a role they thought would be suitable for me. I ignored it šŸ«  Prayer & fasting day 3 I got another text saying I was BOOKED for the same job. šŸ˜£ Fast-forward to February and I found myself on the set of The Six Triple Eight film in Cambridge acting alongside Mrs Kerry Washington, under the directorship of Mr @tylerperry and the choreography of @therealdebbieallen !šŸ˜± Iā€™ll never forget the moment I got to share a scene with @kerrywashington .It was one of the best moments of my life to sit opposite her and act through the announcement of President Rooseveltā€™s death ( edited scene) and I felt ALIVE. The first time I acted in a play was in Reception in Kabwe, Zambia. I was so excited to play Mary but was given the role of a sheep without an audition! I cried all the way home until my mum asked them to give me an audition and they were so shocked that the shy little girl came alive on stage. The following year I played the nightingale in The Nightingale, then Maria in Sound of Music, then Zipporah in Moses and finally finished high school in England with a newspaper article for getting one of the highest GCSE scores in the country in Performing Arts. My parents thought it would be better off for me to focus on medical school vs drama šŸŽ­ so thatā€™s what I did. I thank God for that because truthfully, it was easier for me to be someone else than to be myself and I might never have learnt to be myself. 15 years later and dream deferred and forgotten, but I guess God never forgot šŸ„ŗ Itā€™s no coincidence that this is the movie God chose for me to be in. The Six Triple Eight film tells the true story of the the first and only Womenā€™s Army Corps unit of color to be stationed overseas during World War II. These incredible women faced segregation, discrimination and racism BUT they soldiered on. (Continued in commentsšŸ‘‡šŸæā€¦)
But WHY does he love me? I recall countless sleepl But WHY does he love me? I recall countless sleepless nights up pondering the thought. WHY does God love me? So much of the value the world puts on us is based on the benefits or usefulness we contribute to them. Itā€™s easy to love the successful, wonderful person you appear to be on Instagram, but so many beautiful smiles hide the most broken hearts šŸ’” Who are we when all the shiny things are taken away? The most difficult shackle to break during my healing journey was TOXIC shameā›“ļø Feeling like it was my fault that the things that happened to me did. And carrying the weight of concealing those things in a bid to change the inner narrative about my value. How do you learn to love your true self in a world that places brokenness at the bottom of the ladder? When I opened Godā€™s word in the bible it stated that our value was not based on the things we had - the titles or achievements, the failures, or the hurt of the past. It said your value is based on GOD the creator who saw you even before you were born. Who chose you when you couldnā€™t even choose yourself. šŸ‘¶šŸ¾ God who is not afraid of your brokenness, because he is the ONLY one who knows the light he placed in you since the beginning. šŸ”† And that light is greater than any darkness and evil this world and Satan can throw at you. Why does God love you? Because you are HIS and he is YOURS šŸ’ž He wants to turn your ashes into a crown of beauty too, sis šŸ„¹ā¤ļø šŸ‘‘šŸ•Šļøx #survivortothriver #morethanaconqueror #healingjourney šŸ“ø : @gabriellenca.photography
Thank you guys so much for the love and support on Thank you guys so much for the love and support on my last video. Sharing my journey was not an easy decision and itā€™s definitely taken me the whole 12 months to even attempt to record the video you saw. But I was compelled to do so because as I was going through my journey I realised that so many people are hurting and the world doesnā€™t really give us time to HEAL. Like thereā€™s a time to go to school, to get a job, to marry and have children, but WHEN do you heal? I dread the thought of where I would have ended up if I had carried on the way I was without stopping to process and acknowledge the wounds of my past. I know that not everyone will understand why I would publicly share such intricate details of my life on the worldwide web. And truthfully, it wonā€™t be for many people.Ā Ā  BUT if just one person can look at my journey and see themselves in it, if they can know that there is a place for the broken hearted and downtrodden, that someone sees you and cares about what youā€™ve been through. And above all, that it is possible to HEAL, then itā€™s worth it for me. I heard a parable of a shepherd that left his flock of 99 sheep to find his ONE lost sheepā€¦šŸ‘I didnā€™t think I was worth finding but God saw me, met me and gave me the opportunity to be healed. Iā€™m so proud of this little girl now and I would like to help someone else to be more than a conqueror too. Thank you for making this a safe healing space, you are welcome to share in my daily affirmations above and follow my FREEDOM TO HEAL podcast linked in the bio. Affirmations have been so pivotal in rewiring my trauma state from fear to FAITH. I hope they help you too and let me know what you think of the podcast!šŸ˜(Link in bio) Happy healing šŸ«‚ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹šŸŒ± #survivortothriver #morethanaconqueror #healingjourney
