Surrender: Letting Go to Lead Well
As someone who has spent nearly three decades designing intentional, affirming spaces for children—especially Black and Brown children—I had to release something unexpected: my ego. Not ego in the shallow sense, but the deeper, relentless voice that whispers: keep going, keep sacrificing, no matter the cost. The ego that tempts you to step ahead of God, convinced you can do it in your own strength. But the truth is, when we exchange divine direction for personal ambition, we collect battle wounds God never intended for us.
