What Happens When You Surrender to the Call
A meditation on creativity, ancestry, and choosing alignment over certainty.
This reflection is a prayer.
It’s about choosing faith over familiarity, listening to the quiet voice within, and trusting creativity as a divine dialogue.
This piece isn’t meant to convince—only to resonate.
A Prayer of Gratitude
Dear Lord and ancestors, thank you for allowing me to go on this journey. I wake up every morning grateful to be in tune with my mind, body, and soul. Before I begin my day of creativity, I sit in stillness and reflect on how I arrived here. It was hard work, determination, and the protection of my ancestors.
The Knowing I Was Born With
From early childhood, I always knew I was destined for greatness. I never quite fit in with the other kids and often felt ostracized. I remember being in fourth grade when my teacher, Dr. Loya, told me, “I expect you to be on TV one day leading people to greatness.” That moment never left me. It became my North Star—my calling before I had the language to name it.
Creativity as Communion
One sunny morning, I woke up and sat on the couch journaling. For the first time, I felt grounded and secure in my new home. Then it dawned on me: my purpose in this life is to heal. I am a healer and a source of creativity. As God’s creation, I am divine myself. By harnessing my inner creator, I worship God—and in doing so, I align with my divinity.
When the World Began Speaking Back
As I began my artist’s journey and reconnected with my creator, the world started speaking to me. Slowly, creativity transformed into a dialogue between God and me.
Ideas began flowing once I stopped forcing myself to “be creative.” It started with my morning pages, where I laid out my thoughts without overwhelm. Then inspiration came in the shower. Soon after, I began manifesting in my sleep—not dreams, but alternate realities where I was already living the life I aspired to.
Signs, Symbols, and Synchronicities
I never force creativity. It comes to me as signs, symbols, and messages. When I decided to start my luxury lifestyle brand, it was born from visits to art centers in Ghana. Later, when I felt called to rediscover an old hobby, my mom casually suggested watercoloring. I had forgotten how much I loved it as a child. Everywhere I looked, life met me with synchronicities—quiet confirmations that I was on the right path.
Ghana awakened a king who had been asleep for millennia. The moment I touched down at Kotoka Airport, I felt deeply connected to my ancestors. Throughout my time in Accra, I was constantly reaffirmed through the synchronicities I encountered. Ghana felt like home. It reawakened my calling to serve and honor my ancestral lineage.
Between Ghana, London, and the many places I’ve traveled, each location has activated a different layer of my spirituality. After these journeys, I studied my astrocartography chart and discovered a line running directly through Accra and near London. It confirmed what I already felt: I was exactly where I needed to be. Coincidence—or alignment?
Choosing Faith Over Familiarity
When I chose spirituality over certainty, the blessings began to flow.
I didn’t know exactly what I was stepping into, but I knew I was moving on faith. For creative flow to meet me, I had to disrupt familiarity and finally do what my spirit had long been asking of me.
At first, I hesitated. All I knew was the script: get a job, save your money, buy a house. But I always wanted more. I knew I could return to the humdrum of a 9-to-5 if needed, so I decided it was time to leap—to sink or swim.
Surrender has given me a peace of mind like no other. Navigating the in-between of uncertainty brought me into a spiritually awakened state. I no longer engage in what doesn’t serve me. I move with intention. I think with clarity. Most importantly, I trust my creative process.
Living the Vision
Five years ago, one of my goals was to be living and working outside of America. Here I am—living that vision. I committed my mind, body, and soul to honoring my creativity, and the blessings have begun to flow.
In five years, I see myself as a successful serial entrepreneur. I have no doubt it has been achieved. Now that I understand the recipe for alignment and success, I duplicate it—tenfold.
Mind over matter.
Mission over money.
God has always had me—and always will.
What might open in your life if you trusted the call before you understood it?
