Where Courage Finds Its Voice
A Courage Conversation born inside a powerful writing circle
We spent eight beautiful weeks together, sitting at the virtual feet of Rebekah Lynn Pierce inside The Womanist Writing Circle — Cohort 1.
It’s hard to fully describe what happened in that space.
Rebekah didn’t just teach writing…
she created a circle for women ready to write with clarity, confidence, and intention.
Six women.
Different corners of the world.
Gathering each Sunday afternoon.
We came with stories…
and through poetry, prose, and raw expression, we began to release them.
What I witnessed in that space was nothing short of courage.
That’s where I met Makissa.
Her writing is bold. Expressive. Unafraid.
But what struck me just as deeply was the way she communicates.
She doesn’t stay on the surface… she sees, questions, and explores the full expanse of the work.
So when I invited her into a Courage Conversation…
I wasn’t just interested in what she writes.
I wanted to understand the woman behind the work—
and what gives her the courage to move the way she does.
This is so darn beautiful! I’m crying happy tears. Look at God! 💜
