I’m a Barbados-born, UK-based Christian children’s author, resource creator, and faith-driven entrepreneur with a heart for helping families grow in Christ.

Very into: purpose-filled stories, joyful discipleship tools, and building a life that reflects God’s calling—not the world’s chaos.
I’m here to help you ditch the overwhelm and live with eternal impact—one faith-filled step at a time.

FROM SUNNY BARBADOS TO THE UK

Born and raised in beautiful Barbados, I moved to the UK in my 20s to study—never imagining the faith adventure that would unfold. Before I left, God gave me a verse I’ve held onto ever since:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9

At the time, I thought this verse was just for the transition. But as life unfolded, I realised it was God’s promise to me through every season.

MEET MY FAMILY

I met my amazing husband, Chidi, in church. He proposed on my favourite beach back home in Barbados while visiting my parents—proof that he’s both romantic and strategic! We married in January 2013 and now have four lively, loveable children (two boys and two girls) who fill our home with noise, purpose, and joy.

Chidi is a gifted storyteller and the author of two children’s books. His love, support, and steady faith have been anchors for our family—especially through some of our most difficult seasons.

NAVIGATING LIFE’S UNEXPECTED CHALLENGES

When our second son was just four months old, he began having seizures. Eventually, we learned he had Dravet Syndrome—a rare form of epilepsy—alongside autism and ADHD. That diagnosis turned our world upside down.

I left my job to become his full-time carer, and life changed in an instant. I grieved. I questioned. I wrestled with my faith. How could I speak about God’s power while watching my child suffer without healing?

But even in the depths of my doubt, God was present. Joshua 1:9 echoed again—He was with me. Still. Always.

FINDING PURPOSE IN THE MIDDLE OF PAIN

That season reshaped me. I realised I didn’t need to have all the answers—because I knew the One who did. Slowly, God taught me to stop seeing our challenges as the end of the road and start seeing them as part of the journey.

A journey of growth. Of trust. Of purpose

MY MISSION TODAY

Today, I wear many hats—wife, mum, author, course creator, faith-based entrepreneur, and creative strategist—but every role points back to one mission:

To help families grow in truth, joy, and identity in Christ.

I create books, bundles, devotionals, and resources to make discipleship simple, engaging, and joy-filled—so faith becomes a natural part of your everyday home life, not just your Sunday mornings.

Whether you’re a parent needing strength for today, a child discovering their identity in Christ, or a Christian author chasing a God-given dream—I’m here to walk with you.

 

God has a purpose for your family. A story still unfolding. Let’s step into it together.
