And who better to reflect on today than the Black women who have answered that call again and again, often without applause, often through resistance, and often at great cost. Whether through activism, intercession, leadership, motherhood, teaching, or healing—Black women have been answering destiny’s call long before the world recognized their power.

Today marks a powerful moment in my journey. It is the 23rd day of International Black Women’s History Month, and it is also my 200th official Tony Post. That’s right—200 posts of faith, fire, and unwavering purpose. Over these 200 entries, I’ve poured out pieces of my heart, told the stories God gave me, and used my platform to shine a light on spiritual truth and the undeniable strength of Black women. With today’s post, I go even deeper.

On the 16th day of International Black Women’s History Month, we don’t just honor strength, resilience, or success—we confront what threatens to destroy it.

Words can uplift, but they can also wound. They can liberate, or they can imprison. They can heal, or they can destroy.

We honor the unseen, the divine, and the intercessors—the Black women who carry light into dark places, who show up just when we need them.

we’re turning our attention not just to the women whose names are etched in stone, but to the quiet fighters—the survivors, the healers...

Angelo’s battle with Despair reminds us that we are not bound by the chains of our past. With faith and inner light, we can break free.
