PLUS SIZE

INFLUENCER

“If you look at me, it would be hard to imagine that I once suffered from low self-esteem. Yes, the bubbly, confident and sometimes sassy Olivia once was her own worst enemy because of how she allowed the opinions of others, world views and the thoughts of not being enough to rob her of the blossom that God was ready to manifest for her and the world to see.

But one day, Jesus had one of His “Come to Jesus” meetings with me. He sat me down and reminded me that I was “Fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:13-14) and when He looks at me, He sees Himself (Genesis 1:26).

What I was about to experience next I had absolutely no idea was going to catapult me into what God had waiting for me!

As the months progressed, God spoke the word EXPOSURE to me, I was thinking that He was bringing exposure to another area of my life (which He did later) but HE was clearly talking about the world getting to know another side of me that He was revealing to me daily!

Yes, the hurt of what I had to endure was PAINFUL, but it helped prepare me to not only be a Plus Size Influencer but also a KINGDOM INFLUENCER!”

Someone Needs To Hear Your Story

I have had the amazing honor to share my journey as a featured guest on several Podcasts such as Coffee With Cortney, Creatives Speak, I Am My Morning Coffee, The SpeakHer Podcast, Wilson and Wilson Weekends and many others. In addition to Women’s Conferences such as The Sister Hypesquad Experience, I have been featured in articles such as, “ShoutOut Atlanta: Voyage ATL” and “The Bold Journey” Magazine.

In “My Sister’s Keeper: The Joy of The Journey”, I shared a lot of my personal life with the reader. I had to pray and ask God as I wrote, “Are You sure that I need to share THESE intimate moments with everyone? I said God, I am placing my life on display in front of everyone. How will they see me or think of me?”

But I had to place those moments of insecurities under The Blood of Jesus because “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36).

In other words, your girl is no longer bound by what others think or say because she is covered under The Blood. I tell you after that encounter in the chapter entitled, “Olivia’s Alabaster Box”, I am no longer the same Olivia/Libby.”

Jesus + Therapy = HEALED

I wanted to share this part of my healing in “My Sister’s Keeper: The Joy Of The Journey” because I wanted to let people know, especially the Body of Christ, that it is perfectly normal to feel the emotions that center around death.

It’s not a sin to feel disappointment, anger, ambiguity, abandonment and other emotions.

Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:26-27 MSG, “Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry - but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the devil that kind of foothold in your life.”

Don’t allow the emotions and everything attached to it consume you! Seek the help that you need!
