I’ve always known that our people were more than just slaves. However, there was little information available when I was growing up. But more than that with all of the degradation being perpetuated in society, it was oftentimes hard to see the truth beyond the pimps, drug dealers and celebrities who ‘made it’. I’m so happy that I have been exposed to real biblical and cultural history through Coach Chanel and her massive knowledge base. She explains it in bite-sized pieces and is also there to expose the hidden truths that are needed. I can now stand proudly and confidently in the skin I’m in because there’s proof beyond my inner knowing!

Born and raised in the church, I thought i knew a lot, especially after quoting all those bible verses every Easter. However, I always felt a disconnect, and I could not quite grasp why. The characters in the Bible seemed just that..characters. I couldn’t relate and the stories seemed so far removed that it was difficult to understand the importance of it all. It wasn’t until I took Coach Chanel’s course that I was able to connect to the word and the characters became real people. The in-depth research and ancestry that was revealed allowed me to see and feel how I was connected to the history of Yahweh and how the blood of those “characters” run in my veins.

It was not a surprise that we were kings, queens, inventors, and royalty, etc. What is sadly surprising is how the manipulation and trickery of the outsiders has caused us to forget and fight so to assimilate and not be who we are meant to be. Knowing who my ancestors were gives me strength to be different and persevere when I transition through the seasons of life.
