Before Dr. Sarah Mac, there was always Sarah. A gentle girl who strived to compete with herself only, who loved to comfort and connect with others, and who always looked for and tried to understand God’s role in her life. 

​

Through two life shifting moments, I began to strongly understand a glimpse of my purpose. At 11, I experienced a confusing and traumatic experience of abuse from a distant family member. At that point, suicidal thoughts led to an attempt to take my own life. After receiving comfort from my mother, I began to reflect on “why?” did this happen. I remember God’s whisper that if the enemy attempted to eliminate a young child, just how strong that child will become as an adult. This is where my understanding of just how meaningful my survival meant. I began to connect with the pain of others in attempts to make sure that other young girls and boys my age would “make” it despite painful and confusing experiences. I became gentle and understanding and easy to talk to. I was empowered to encourage others because I declared that the enemy could not have my life nor any of my friends’.

​

After practicing and learning faith and encouraging my friend-family, I noticed that I was doing  well and getting ready to go to college! During the excitement of my high school senior and college freshman year, I worked hard, I loved hard, I encouraged, and I challenged myself; I also conceived a child!!!!!!!!! What!!!?! I couldn’t fathom why me…the careful one, would get caught up!!! Again, I began to reflect “why Lord?” And at 18-and-pregnant, I declared that God blessed me with an opportunity and challenge… An opportunity to obtain every dream that I ever had and a challenge to overcome the seeds of doubt and shame that were planted by having a child so young and outside of marriage. This declaration thrust me to cling to my belief that my child and my life were to bring God glory. It pushed me to never accept anything less than what God declared for my life. I wrote a list of things that I desired, which included starting a mentorship program, becoming a doctor, becoming an AKA (lol skee wee my sorors!), and being the best mommy I could ever be.

Writing this snippet, really only scratches the surface to how good God has been in my life! From an abused young child to an excited happy well-balanced high school senior….From a scared, 18-and-pregnant young woman to a loving mommy, Soror, creative entrepreneur, psychologist…Over and over God was with me through each valley and mountaintop…showing me the fruits of faithfulness and a dependence on God through it all.

So basically, Sarah is a  humble kid who thought she could make a difference and through God’s grace, guidance and gifts experienced the best of what the world had to offer her! Dr. Sarah Mac is the avenue in which I can foster and promote childhood dreams through the Change Agent Mentorship Program and PowerUP Public Speaking; as well as promote God-sized purpose in parents, budding young adults seeking entreprenuership, and communities through the Kingdom Business Consultation and PowerUP Public Speaking and Community Collaboration Platforms.
