The Table Still Speaks: What This Season Has Been Teaching Me
I know I’ve been a little quiet on here.
But truthfully… this is what life has looked like in this season.
Not just going out to eat —
but sitting at tables.
Having conversations.
Being poured into.
Recently, I went to Sweet 1ne — Afro-fusion, full of flavour, creativity, and culture. From jollof sushi to calamari, from sweet plantain to oxtail and rice, every plate told a story.
But what stayed with me wasn’t just the food.
It was the fellowship.
I was raised in a home where food was never just food.
It was community.
It was sharing.
It was “bring what you have and let it meet someone else’s offering.”
Rice and peas next to jollof.
Curry goat soaking into white rice.
A table that didn’t have to be perfect — just present.
And in this season, my sisters have been pouring into me in that same way.
Gently. Intentionally. Lovingly.
And I thank God for that.
Because as much as I love to pour out…
God will always send people to pour back into you.
Lately, I’ve been moving with my appetite —
exploring, creating, tasting.
Plant-based.
Fish.
Caribbean.
West African.
Asian.
Latin flavours I’ve yet to experience in their homeland… but I’m learning through the plate.
Food has been teaching me again.
That life isn’t just about what you produce —
but also what you receive.
Known By Name: The Ministry of Anna the Prophetess
This March, my heart is honouring Anna the Prophetess (Luke 2:36–38).
She wasn’t introduced by scandal.
She wasn’t reduced to widowhood.
She wasn’t defined by motherhood.
She was named.
Anna.
Prophetess.
Faithful.
Rooted.
Present.
Her fruit wasn’t in children — it was in discernment.
Her ministry wasn’t loud — it was consistent.
Her reward? She recognised Jesus when He entered the temple.
May we be women who stay.
Women who discern.
Women who are known by heaven — even if overlooked by earth.
Trusting God in Every Season: Learning to Be a Healed and Giving Disciple
When lack stares you in the face, give anyway.
Not because it’s easy, but because it’s Christ’s way.
“The Lord is good… He knows those who trust in Him.” — Nahum 1:7
Trust Him in the process. The ending is already good.
New Month, New Grace: Embracing the New Beginnings of August
If August is where new grace begins, then the way you nourish yourself matters too.
Preparing your spirit — and your body — for the seasons ahead is a sacred act. I wrote more about that here.

When the Weather Drops, I Reach for Warmth
The weather has severely dropped here in London town. Just last week, we were basking in pockets of sunshine and heat — now, since Saturday, it’s been rain on rain on rain.
I don’t know if there’s an official term for it, but I’m definitely a weather-eating babe. If it’s grey and wet outside, you’ll find me with my kettle on — warming my body from the inside out.
I’ve learned that for women — especially in our 30s and beyond — keeping the body warm, the womb warm, is more than just comfort. It’s a practice rooted in so many traditional and holistic teachings: warmth nourishes, soothes, and supports the rhythms of our bodies.
