Becoming Miss.Understood: How One Woman Turned Her Pain into a Movement
This month, we’re shining our spotlight on a woman whose story is a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of sisterhood. She is the founder and host of the Miss.Understood Sisterhood, a faith-rooted community and podcast created to give women a voice — a safe place where they feel seen, heard, and truly understood.
The Miss.Understood Sisterhood was born from her own personal journey of navigating loss, identity, and growth as a young Black woman. She knew the pain of feeling unheard, labeled “too much,” or misunderstood in rooms that weren’t built for her. Instead of shrinking, she turned her pain into purpose.
Her mission aligns deeply with Pretty&Ghetto’s vision of embracing duality — being both soft and strong, polished and powerful. Together, they remind women that they don’t have to choose one side of themselves. They can be all of it and still be worthy.
For her, empowerment isn’t about having all the answers or standing on the biggest stage. It’s about waking up each day and choosing to walk boldly in who God created her to be — without apology or fear. It’s about choosing faith over perfection and knowing she is enough, even as she’s becoming.
Her journey hasn’t been without challenges. As a woman of color, she has faced being overlooked and underestimated, often told to quiet her voice or fit into a smaller mold. But instead of conforming, she built her own spaces — places where authenticity is celebrated and every woman is encouraged to show up fully as herself.
One of the most powerful lessons she has learned is that God’s timing is always greater than her own plans. Every closed door and every “no” became a redirection to something even greater. She learned that purpose doesn’t require perfection — only obedience and the courage to take the next step.
Today, the Miss.Understood Sisterhood has grown beyond a podcast. It’s a community that offers healing, connection, and empowerment through faith-based sisterhood events, workshops, and plans for live conferences. Her vision is to create global spaces where women can gather, worship, heal, and walk away restored and renewed.
In the next five years, she sees herself fully aligned with her calling — healed, whole, and at peace. Professionally, she envisions Miss.Understood expanding into a global platform that empowers women to own their voices, deepen their faith, and build unbreakable sisterhood bonds.
Outside of her work, she loves simple, soul-nourishing moments — journaling by the lake, reading with her cat Dior curled up nearby, and taking long walks that reconnect her to herself and God.
Right now, she is working on taking Miss.Understood even further, launching community events, creating faith-based merchandise, and building a digital space where every woman can feel seen and spiritually poured into, no matter where she is.
Miss.Understood goes beyond a podcast — it’s a story still being written, a movement that reminds women everywhere that they are not “too much” or “not enough.” They are perfectly becoming, exactly as they are.
This spotlight is a celebration of a woman who turned her deepest pain into her highest purpose. A woman who proves that when we walk in faith and stand in our truth, we not only heal ourselves but create spaces for others to heal too.
