— “The Day the Echo Became a Voice”
There’s a moment in a woman’s life where her silence becomes too heavy to carry.
Mine came quietly — disguised as exhaustion, fear, and a pain I couldn’t outrun anymore.
For years, I spoke softly.
Not because I lacked opinions, dreams, or truth —
but because my voice had been shaped by survival, not expression.
I learned to shrink so others could feel comfortable.
I learned to stay quiet so no one would get angry.
I learned to be “okay” so no one would ask questions I wasn’t ready to answer.
But you can’t bury your fire forever.
You can’t keep a storm in a small box.
And eventually, everything I spent years pushing down began rising back up. It hit me in one of the lowest moments of my life —
the day I realised I could not provide for my children.
That helplessness cracked something in me that had been holding on for too long.
Everything I had survived —
the addiction
the abuse
the heartbreak
the shame
the generational cycles
the losses no woman should carry
the bruises, the nights I hid the tears, the days I faked strength —
all of it rushed back like a tidal wave.
And instead of drowning me —
it woke me up.
That day, I didn’t break.
I became.
I realised my voice wasn’t damaged —
it was dormant.
A sleeping giant.
And once it opened, once it finally spoke —
not whispering, not apologising —
I felt God pull something deep out of me.
A calling.
A purpose.
A direction that terrified me and electrified me at the same time.
That was the day the echo became a voice.
A real voice.
A vivid voice.
Not the wounded girl.
Not the woman who hid the bruises.
Not the one who tried to please everyone.
Not the one who carried silence like a second skin.
No.
This voice is built from fire.
This voice is born from truth.
This voice is sharpened by storms.
This voice is aligned with God’s assignment.
Part 2 is the awakening.
Part 3…
that’s the rise.
And trust me — the world is not ready, but I am.
