Why I Started FaithWarblers: A Journey of Faith, Trauma, and Purpose


There’s one question I get asked a lot: Why did I start FaithWarblers?


To truly understand, I have to take you back to one of the most difficult moments of my life. It was a time when everything seemed to be crumbling around me—COVID had turned the world upside down, job opportunities were scarce, and to top it off, I had just walked away from a long-term relationship that I had believed would lead to marriage. But the event that shook me the most—the one that changed everything—was when I was robbed at gunpoint.


That moment was more than just fear. It was a wake-up call. A reality check. A deep confrontation with everything I thought I knew about life and faith. It left me broken, questioning everything, including God.


I remember crying out, “God, where were You? Why did You let this happen to me?” It was a dark season. But in that darkness, something powerful happened—I started talking to God more, listening more, and seeking Him more. I realized that faith isn’t just about knowing God exists; it’s about building a relationship with Him, especially when life doesn’t make sense.


At first, my healing process was personal. I started sharing prayers and scripture on my WhatsApp status, not even thinking much about it. But then, people started reaching out, telling me how those posts encouraged them, how they were going through their own struggles and needed that reminder that God is still present.


That’s when I realized—this isn’t just for me.


In 2021, I started consistently sharing prayers, encouragement, and Bible verses. And in 2024, FaithWarblers was born on Instagram. It became a digital space for faith, prayer, and community. Now, it has grown beyond just posts—it has become a movement.


One of the most beautiful things to come from this journey is FaithWarblers Sisterhood, a WhatsApp group where women from all walks of life come together to pray for each other, share testimonies, encourage one another, fast together, and grow spiritually. It’s a space for healing, faith, and purpose.


I’m not a theologian or a Bible expert. I’m just a woman who found God in her darkest hour and now wants to share that light with others. FaithWarblers is my way of saying, “You are not alone. Whatever you’re going through, God sees you, He hears you, and He has a plan for you.”


So if you’ve ever wondered why I do this, this is why.


If my story resonates with you, or if you’ve been searching for a faith-based community, I invite you to join us—whether it’s on Instagram, WhatsApp, or simply in prayer. We’re stronger together.

My Journey Through Fashion, Art, and Finding Authenticity

My Journey Through Fashion, Art, and Finding Authenticity Fashion has always been a part of my story, almost like a heartbeat pulsing with each new chapter. Growing up, I eagerly awaited Saturdays—not just for worship, but for the fashion parade at church. Our congregation was the runway, and every Sabbath was a fashion show. That’s where my love for style was born. I could tell early on that I was different from my siblings and friends. While they followed the trends, I was drawn to outfits that stood out, that said, “Here I am!” Fashion became my armor during my teen years, a time when self-esteem was hard to come by. Being slender wasn’t always celebrated, and society had names for it—chicken legs, stick, mabhonzo. The criticism chipped away at me, affecting my relationships and self-worth. But clothes became my comfort. They gave me confidence and a way to feel unique, even if it meant layering shorts under skirts to feel a bit “thicker.” I would even go so far as to crush brown br...

Brows Before Barcodes: How Faith Built a Beauty Empire from the Ground Up

Brows Before Barcodes: How Faith Built a Beauty Empire from the Ground Up If you’ve ever doubted the power of lip gloss, grit, and prayer—Faith is here to change your mind. Before she was the founder of House of Beauty, a one-stop glam hub for makeup, hair, and nails, Faith was scanning groceries as a till operator. Yep—before she beat faces, she was bagging tomatoes. But deep down, she knew there was something more. Something... beautiful. So, what did she do? She started small. Like, $5-a-face small. With every paycheck, she added to her makeup kit. Then came lockdown—and while the world was bingeing Netflix, Faith was bingeing makeup tutorials on YouTube like her life depended on it. (Spoiler alert: her glow-up did depend on it.) With fierce self-belief and a “God’s got me” mindset, she launched herself into the world of beauty—no roadmap, no rich uncle, just pure go mode. “I had so much trust in myself,” she says. And that trust? It turned into bookings, then weddings, then brands ...
