FWM: You are known today as the Godmother of Spirituality; however, your road was filled with extreme challenges. Share your background. 

While many people have five senses, I have six. My ability to tap into the spiritual realm was discovered very young. Everyone thought I was crazy for having an imaginary friend as a child, but this wasn’t just my imagination. I would fight the world’s stereotypes because of what and who I could see. Concealing my gifts, I turned to the streets and started selling narcotics. I fell in love and made unbelievable amounts of money. Eventually, trouble knocked at my door, and I was the only woman on a 19-man indictment from Florida to Honduras. I was on the run for years while the Feds hunted me down. However, I always felt like more than the Feds were after me. Eventually, I turned myself in to save my life from the spiritual attacks getting me. I was pregnant while in prison and was facing a life sentence. However, God had other plans for me. I served eight years in jail, overcame my autoimmune disease, and escaped death many times. Today, I successfully own five businesses in retail, cleaning services, property management, staging, and construction.

FWM: You speak your truth in the new book “Cries In The Dark” with a foreword by artist and actress DreamDoll. Why is it important to share your story? 

I need to share my story because, at one point, I thought I never would. People thought I was crazy because of the stories I would share, which convinced me I wouldn’t live a long life. I wanted to detail every incident in my life to show other people who have spiritual encounters that they are not alone. From living with a broken heart to dealing with massive health issues, I cleaned the floors with my tears for many days. This story is my path of self-discovery to unveil the blessings in my life. As you read this book, I encourage you to activate your power and push yourself to do the work. 

FWM: Who is this book for? 

I wrote this book about my experiences to help others grow spiritually. When I started my spiritual journey, I endured many storms that troubled my soul. I want people to understand how these challenges will bring you closer to God and your calling in life. 

FWM: You mentor people nationwide and speak at prisons to share your testimony. Tell us about your work. 

I mentor people by giving them an outlet to share their experiences with paranormal activities and clarify occurrences in their life. In addition, my work involves helping people understand their ancestral background while guiding them to their destiny, which consists in addressing mental blockages and administrating spiritual cleansings. 

By speaking at prisons, I can share my testimony to inspire change and give hope to the inmates. I was once behind those same walls trying every outlet to free my mind, praying God would save me. Now that I’ve received redemption, I believe anything is possible. It’s not over until God has the last word. I was blessed to beat my life sentence, serve eight years in prison, and then go home to my family. God put the right people in my life to help me learn skills to keep me from returning to prison. I must give back to the inmates currently in the same situation.

FWM: You recently launched a nonprofit House Of Ayaguna. What do you want people to know? 

House of Ayaguna nonprofit is a Women and Children Prison Reform Organization that assists pregnant incarcerated women and mothers separated from their children. Our ultimate goal is to open a shelter for women and halfway homes for women transitioning back into society. We are currently seeking resources and are open to partnerships to fulfill our mission.

FWM: What have you learned the most during your spiritual journey?

Don’t give up on yourself; don’t be afraid to ask for help. While walking my path, I learned how life is about the shepherd and their flock. The shepherd’s purpose is to keep all of the sheep in line. No matter how often the sheep runs off the herd, the shepherd will guide the lost one back to the group. I was once that lost sheep. I turned from God many times before I embraced my destiny. Now, I am dedicated to helping others turn their life around.
