God can't bless you for ten to be or who you can pair yourself to. He can only bless you and the lane that was created for you.

I feel that for somebody.

You don't need no itch, it's a unique boundary.

What? I don't need your lights, I don't need your elevation.

All I need is a God party for me that's their all things. All things. All things.

Child.

So I don't know if you have been living under a rock or not.

Girl, you probably been minding your business, but listen, I'm going to let you mind, mind for a second.

Last weekend at Womendow Art Loosed, I experienced a passing of the baton, my father, who has been a pioneer in a women's ministry for thirty years, had his final conference Womendow Art Loosed.

0:56.0

At that conference, twenty thousand women gathered to experience the grace and anointing that has led literally millions of women to freedom and breakthrough.

1:08.0

Little did I know that at the end of the conference, he was going to, I still get emotional thinking about it, but that he was going to point them in the direction of woman evolve.

1:21.0

He would point them in the direction of the work that woman evolve does every day to help women feel seen.

1:28.0

I want to talk a little bit more about this with you next week. I'm going to do something I've never done, a solo podcast unpacking what that moment meant to me, how I'm growing as a result of it, and how I feel like there's a message in it for us all to continue to do the work that we still call to the work that awakens our creativity and authenticity, whether it's something we do full time or part time.

1:57.0

But this week, I want to focus on domestic violence awareness. Many of us know that October is a month that we acknowledge breast cancer survivors, but also domestic violence survivors.

2:11.0

Womendow Art Loosed has been working on a project to help give voice, visibility, and just connection to women who have experienced domestic violence.

2:22.0

Through a scripted series called Angelina, we hope to show the generational impact of domestic violence, but also the unraveling of that generational curse.

2:34.0

But first, I want to have a conversation with a woman I deeply admire. Her name is Tiffany Mensa, and literally daily, she is helping women survive, escape, and rebuild from the grasp of domestic violence.

2:49.0

Also, joining me is writer and director of Angelina Taya Roberts. Sit back and have a conversation with us that whether you're experiencing domestic violence or just connected with a woman who has, I believe this conversation is going to help bring strength, liberty, wisdom, love, compassion, and empathy for us all. Let's get into it.

3:14.0

I'm so excited about us having this conversation because what many of all is doing something that we've never done before and hoping to present a real life yet scripted experience that many women have endured, have survived, are currently in.

3:39.0

I'm so proud of this project, but we want it to really add some texture and layer and actual factuals to it by bringing you into Tiffany to talk about domestic violence, to talk about the experiences that you have in helping other women, but also to just give some context to why it's so important that we continue to tell this story.

4:04.0

I don't know about you, but I feel like October comes around. Many of us recognize it as domestic violence awareness month, but sometimes a movement can become so commercialized, so universal, that it's difficult to really add names and experiences and faces to what domestic violence is.

4:29.0

And one of the involved TV has produced a short series that really gives context to domestic violence, the generational implications of domestic violence and hopefully a more intimate view of what it looks like to be caught as someone who was witnessing domestic violence, but also someone who is experiencing it and how it often happens from generation to generation.
