Your True Voice: The Power of Owning Who We Are
“You’re God’s child, aren’t you? We saw the Holy Spirit with you on that stage when you were speaking.”
The words stopped me in my tracks.
I had just stepped down from the stage, still feeling the electric energy of the standing ovation. But this moment—this quiet exchange—hit different.
Weeks have passed since that International Women’s Day event, yet the love that poured in afterward still lingers. Emails. Messages. Strangers reaching out. People telling me how my words moved them, how they saw something in me beyond the speech itself.
And you know what?
All I did was stand on that stage and be myself. No script. No rehearsals. Just me, speaking from my soul.
Your True Voice Your Power
I often get asked, “How long did you rehearse that speech?”
The truth? I didn’t. I never do.
I struggle to repeat things word for word. So when I step onto a stage, I surrender. I trust. I let the words come as they will.
Every sentence, every moment—I’m experiencing it for the first time right alongside my audience.
Yet somehow, I never stumble.
That’s the power of your true voice—your gift.
But here’s what I need you to hear—you have a gift too.
A voice. A message. A purpose.
You were given something powerful, something uniquely yours. But somewhere along the way, the world tried to silence it.
What Is Your True Voice?
Your true voice is not just the sound that comes from your lips. It is who you are at your core—a fusion of your passion, talents, identity, and lived experience.
It is the sword you were given to navigate this battlefield called life.
Without it, you’re walking unarmed.
Before you even arrived here, you were prepared. You were given all you needed to fulfill your purpose. But before you could even explore it, before you could look inside your own toolbox, the world forced its voice on you.
It came as a belief system disguised as truth:
- Certain accent don’t belong in leadership.
- Women shouldn’t be too ambitious
- Black people can’t be a pilot
- Just play small and fit in.
These rules weren’t written for your success. They were written to keep you in place.
And if you believe them? If you let them take root?
You spend your life hiding your own voice, while amplifying someone else’s.
Set your True Voice Free
It’s been long enough.
This belief system has held you captive for too long.
For years, your true voice has been:
- Buried under conditioning.
- Hiding beneath fear.
- Suffocated by expectations.
But it’s not gone.
It’s still there—waiting for you to say:
- Enough.
- No more shrinking.
- I am ready to use what’s already inside me.
So, let me ask you—when will you set it free?
How To Set your True Voice Free
This isn’t about making a grand entrance.
It’s about owning what has always been yours.
1. Stop Overthinking It
You don’t need to sound like anyone else. You don’t need to wait for the perfect words.
Just start. Speak. Write. Create.
Let it be messy, let it be raw, let it be real.
2. Recognize What Comes Naturally
What do people always tell you you’re good at?
What feels effortless to you?
That’s a clue.
(Don’t dismiss it just because it feels easy—that’s usually the sign of a gift.)
3. Honor the Small Moments
You don’t need a stage.
Sometimes, setting your true voice free starts with:
- Remembering what lit you up as a child.
- Noticing what people used to compliment you on.
- Writing down the things you’re naturally good at.
- Asking friends and family what they see in you.
- Exploring the pathways where your strength can shine.
- Speaking to someone who can help you reconnect with yourself.
These small steps?
They’re how you start making your way back to yourself.
4. Trust That You Are Already Enough
You don’t need permission.
You don’t need more degrees, more validation, more approval.
You just need to trust that you were given a gift, and the gift alone is enough to see you through.
What Happens When You Surrender to Your True Path?
Something beautiful.
You step into collaboration with the One who sent you here.
And when this happens?
- Love flows in.
- Abundance finds you.
- Knowledge expands.
- Wisdom deepens.
- And most of all—you come alive.
Because now?
You’re not fighting to be someone else.
You’re walking in the fullness of who you were always meant to be.
Your Voice is Sacred - Own It
I used to think that the world gave us our voice.
That we had to earn it.
Now, I know better.
Your voice was never given to you by the world—it was given to you by God.
And no one can take it away.
So, the question isn’t whether your voice is real.
It is.
The question isn’t whether your voice matters.
It does.
The only question left is:
When will you set it free?
This is your time. Speak. Create. Share.
The world is waiting.
And so is your voice.
