As I was growing up, I always wondered how slavery happened. In school, particularly in 7th-10th grade, when we learned about Manifest Destiny, slavery, and the early history of the United States, I couldn’t understand why Americans killed the Native people who were here. But more than anything, I questioned why there was so much violence and bloodshed in this country’s past.
Still, I never let myself go too deep into these thoughts. I never got my answer—until almost ten years later, at the age of 24, while attending Texas Southern University.
Looking back, I ask myself: Why? Why didn’t I seek the truth then? What stopped me from looking into history, from questioning what I was taught? Maybe if I had searched for the answers earlier, I could have avoided the sinful life I lived in the years that followed. Now, I realize why I never questioned anything—Christianity.
I had been programmed my whole life not to question. Not only was I programmed, but I accepted that programming and lived by its principles. For 24 years, I followed Christianity blindly, never questioning the contradictions in its doctrine. Never once did I connect this religion to the very foundation of this country—a foundation built on deception, violence, and oppression. Instead, I ignored the truth just to be accepted.
I’m ashamed to admit that I knew the life I was living was against the Creator, but I lacked the courage to change—until I had gone too far and there was no turning back. In 2004, I reached my crossroads.
I was sitting at work in the Galleria Mall when it hit me—I had to stop and take a different path. At that moment, I recognized something that changed my life: I was the problem. My choices had led me to where I was, and only I could take responsibility for them. That realization was the beginning of my journey. The moment I saw the truth, I understood that I was a daughter of the Most High Elohim. And I also saw clearly that those who claim Christianity are the very ones who seek to destroy my people and replace us as the children of light.
We are in the time of change. As spoken in Jeremiah’s prophecy, the fall of the crown was a sign, and Trump’s presidency was another. The world is shifting, and now, you must choose your side. There is no middle ground anymore. Pray for peace. Pray for strength. The time is near.
