About my communication skills and TV/Media vision

As a prophetic scribe, a writer, a former journalist and a human being who has a way with words, I’m beginning to learn when to refrain myself and when to release. 

It’s not easy. Most of the time, my fingers and mouth are itching. Too much has been stocked up. 

The power of the Word flowing through my thoughts and words. My observation game on fleek 😌. Revelations flowing. The fire 🔥 burning inside. 

I feel like speaking up but God’s timing is the best. I also have time management issue. Other responsibilities to take care of. However, as a straight talker I know my words can pierce through the soul and trigger all kind of reactions. Those words spoken or written can expose hidden agendas, heal, comfort, empower as well as infuriate, provoke, frustrate and intimidate. 

I started writing since I was a kid. That’s the only way I could express my emotions better. I didn’t talk much. 

My schoolmates thought I was timid. 

I wrote songs, poems, novels for literary contests, articles. 

As a journalist, during my 10 years of career, I have explored all kinds of topics and learnt a lot through recording and writing about other people’s experiences. 

I also had the opportunity to bring out my creative and innovative sides. 

People were drawn to my TV shows, News presenting skills and all round media personality. 

Yes, I had fans who looked up to me. 

The youth in particular.

But as soon as I left the set or spotlight, they were shocked to realize how reserved I am in real life. 

As a communicator, I have this gift and charisma to switch my personality accordingly. The audience matters more. 

I have acquired this mechanism through my days of news presenting. 

You are live on TV and have to look serious/focused even when there is chaos around you in the studio. 

Just keep a straight face and don’t fumble your words.

It was hilarious at times.

We had fun with the crew.

I was getting paid to get people tuned just by being my authentic self. 

My wild side came out to play 😉. 

I enjoyed taking my audience through a journey and making them feel comfortable. 

They found someone who could relate with their struggles and put the right words into it. 

Now that I’m more mature and reflecting on all these past experiences, I just want to use this precious flow in me to impact lives more than ever. 

Reason why I don’t jump into all those offers of going back to TV/Media.

Many things have changed.

This era of anybody using technology to make videos has made this noble profession of journalism look like a joke.

I was trained to aim for excellence.

The day I will do TV programs/ broadcast again, it will surely be meaningful and align with my God-given vision.

I’ve got so many ideas and creative projects. 

At times this untapped flow crying out for a release scares me. 

I don’t wanna do the traditional Christian kind of show or program. 

I’m a out of the box kind of person.

It will certainly be something conceived, produced and realized by the Christian woman that I am but taking it to a wider audience with topics that are non exclusively christians.

As a Marketplace apostle I can’t ignore the needs and struggles of diverse categories of people in my field of mission. I always challenge the status quo. 

So help me Lord 🙏🏽
