This past Saturday was such a heartwarming and fun learning experience! ❤️📚 We teamed up with Christina’s Reading Tree House to create a space where participants of all ages—with and without disabilities—could come together to read, connect, and support one another.

One of the biggest hits of the day was the old-school typewriter! 📝 Everyone was so excited to try it out, and they did an AMAZING job.

Moments like these remind us why safe inclusive spaces matter so much. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special! 💙

Today, I ask that everyone who sees this post help me wish my oldest blessing a Happy 27th Birthday.🎉 🫶🏽🙏🏾

My baby girl ended 2024 fighting for her life, but what the enemy didn’t know is that she is the pressure that creates diamonds. She is a warrior born with a disability and born fighting for the very things many of us take for granted. But through it all, she shines with grace, strength, and love.

As her mother, I have always spoken life over her and will continue to do so every single day. I love her with every fiber of my being. She is an angel walking this earth, spreading love to all who cross her path. And for those who may not see her light, I pray your heart softens in time.

Today, we don’t just celebrate a birthday—we celebrate life, resilience, and the unwavering support of the beautiful village that surrounds her, then and now.

Happy 27th Birthday, Lexy. You are one of my greatest gifts

Heart of The City family ❤️❤️❤️
Today is an important day—Lexy will undergo medical testing to confirm the healing we’ve been praying for. As a mother, especially walking this path alone, I come before the Lord with a full heart. I ask Him to continue laying His healing hands on my precious child, the one I vowed to care for with His guidance, always.

This journey has tested me in ways only He knows. There have been moments of deep sadness, but through it all, the joy of seeing Lexy’s strength, her light, and her life has been the greatest gift. God has shown me that even in hardship, His presence never leaves us.

I want to say thank you—above all to God, and to every single person who has lifted us up in prayer. Your love has carried us. As a single mom, many don’t see the full weight of what we face, but please know this: we face it with unwavering faith. We may bend, but we will never be broken.
