There’s a holy kind of hush that falls over a room when Black women start telling the truth—the real truth—about what it takes to build, believe, and still bless others in the process.
And then there’s the roar that comes after.
Blessed in Business isn’t just a title. It’s a testimony. When this international bestselling anthology was released, fourteen Black women stood boldly in their brilliance, declaring that you can be both anointed and accomplished. That you can have God and goals. That your business can be blessed not just by what you sell—but by what you survived.
Each woman in this collection brought more than business savvy. They brought spiritual grit. The kind that forms when you’ve cried on your office floor and praised through payroll. The kind that understands faith is the foundation, not just a filter.
And yes—they toasted. To the goodness of God. To growth. To glory.
Unapologetic Joy, Uncompromised Conviction
Some saw the celebration and paused.
“Christians… celebrating? Toasting?”
Yes. And here’s why.
The Bible says plainly, “Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18, KJV)
It does not say do not drink. It says do not be drunk. There is a difference—and understanding that difference is spiritual maturity, not compromise. For generations, we’ve been taught to associate celebration with sin, but Scripture tells us celebration was God’s idea from the beginning. Feasts. Festivals. Firstfruits.
This wasn’t a drunken party—it was a declaration. A sacred, spirit-led celebration of women who have warred in prayer and worshipped through the pressure. Who’ve built with broken pieces and still stood up in excellence.
It’s time we stop policing praise when it doesn’t look how we’re used to—and start honoring the fruit that came through fire.
The Power of This Moment
Blessed in Business doesn’t just highlight wins. It honors the warfare behind the wins.
This book is a reminder that your business is ministry when God’s at the center. That success doesn’t diminish your faith—it displays it. And that joy, real joy, is a weapon. The kind that breaks heaviness, restores hope, and reminds the world that Black women still rise—in business, in faith, and in full confidence of the One who called them.
So, Cheers to Us
To the women who said yes while still bleeding.
To the entrepreneurs who worship between meetings.
To the builders who believe in miracles and marketing plans.
This is your permission to celebrate. To pour the sparkling cider, raise your glass, and declare—God did this. Not in pride, but in purpose. Not in excess, but in excellence.
May you never again feel the need to shrink in rooms where God placed you to shine.
And may your next “cheers” be a full-circle moment rooted in truth, fueled by faith, and wrapped in legacy.
Read the anthology. Celebrate your journey. And remember—being Blessed in Business means God is glorified through everything you do.
