I never understood  my grandmother when she would tell me I had to be beautiful inside and out until I gave my life to Christ.  I spent so many years trying to accomplish my goals in life based upon how fine I was.  I have gotten jobs, been made offers all because of what my outside looked  like.  Then one day someone I dearly loved decided someone else looked better and had more than I did in the body department.  My world crumbled as I tried everything I knew to get that someone back, but every attempt failed, I was not good enough.  

Becasue I was not good enough I believed I did not deserve to eat and enjoy anything including food, so I began to binge and purge almost daily.  I was very disturbed on the inside because of what someone else thought about my outside.  It was years later when I went to Church and gave my life to Christ that I found out there was more to me.  I asked myself if I did not know what was on the inside how would anyone else know.  I gave my life to Christ and He began to show me I was more than a Female, more than a body.   It is my passion and joy to help young and mature women come into the same understanding as I did that God made me with a purpose in mind.  

God made me who I am with many gifts and talents to be used for His glory.  I no longer have to be concerned about what I look like to others, becasue I know what God has for me is for me. I know God loves me regardless of what I look like on the outside.

Through this ministry I am determined that every young lady and woman we come in contact with will know and understand what God placed on the inside of them.  They will know how to use what God gave them and not what man has made them.  This is my story.

More Than A Female is a ministry that primarily focuses on the training and coaching of women and young girls.  This ministry teaches them how to live and govern their lives according to what God has made them and not what their gender dictates. 

Our goal is to teach women how to utilize their God-given gifts and not just  what their mama made them(physical attributes). 

In today’s society so much is based on our outward attributes that daily women and young girls all over this world ignore their true essence that God placed on the inside of them. 

Through seminars , workshops, conferences, resource materials and discipleship  programs it is our goal to assist women in escaping the bondage that many operate in daily.  We will assist any woman who wants to transition from one lifestyle into the one God has planned for her.
