MY STORY
I am deeply passionate about bringing the stories of women in the Bible to life - especially those that are not often told. I believe that these stories are not only empowering but also offer valuable lessons that we can learn from. The stories of these remarkable women are not too different from ours, and I believe that by sharing them, we can be inspired to live more authentically and with greater purpose. Through my work, I strive to continue to tap into the hearts of women and help them understand how deeply they are loved by God.
In addition to writing, I find great joy in creative expression through graphic design. I am the owner of Solutions by Tonya Neal, LLC a visual communication and consulting business in Texas. I am working on the official launch of Fragile Hearts Ministries, LLC.
