Hello, I am Charmeka Shontay. I’m just an ordinary person called by God to make an extraordinary impact by sharing my journey. I currently reside in Austin, TX, and I’m a proud mother of three amazing adult children. Professionally, I’m a licensed nurse and esthetician, and I’m also the creator of Beauty for Ashes by Charm, Conversations with Charm, and Charmed Peaces. Above all, I am a child of God, and my life is a testimony to His incredible grace. I’ve always felt a deep calling to uplift and inspire women, especially women of color, as our experiences are often unique and deeply complex. This 12 month journal is an invitation to reclaim your power and embrace the transformative beauty of celibacy. I hope you’ll join me on this journey of faith, healing, and self-discovery. Pray for guidance and ask God to connect you with a sister who will walk this path with you. Together, let’s trust in God and watch how He moves in our lives. God bless you as you take this step toward Him and toward yourself. Let’s do this—together.
