  1. Read more ⬇️ After years of living in pride, thinking I was the author of my own success, I became my own god. I used people, hurt the ones closest to me, and pushed away anyone who tried to correct me. I only prayed when I wanted something—treating God like a vending machine. Resentment and unforgiveness filled my heart like cancer, making me cold, heartless, unreachable—even to God. Despite outward success, I was spiritually bankrupt. Then 2022 hit and I lost everything: my business failed, 150K+ in debt, unemployed, alone, homeless, and emotionally numb. That was my breaking point. I finally went back home… and back to church. That’s when the weight of everything hit me like a train. I fell on my face, begging God for mercy. I recommitted my life to Jesus, but the journey was painful. I faced the consequences of my actions, asked for forgiveness from those I hurt—some forgave me, some didn’t. I prayed, went to therapy, worked through trauma, and asked God not to numb the pain so I’d never forget. Fast forward to 2025—To God be the glory. He broke me down and rebuilt me. He restored everything I lost in ways I couldn’t imagine. He gave me a new heart, a new life, and a new beginning. He met me in my mess when I deserved rejection and loved me anyway. All Glory, Honour & Praise to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The old is gone. The new has come. And this is just the beginning. 🙌🏽 #Testimony #Grace #GodRestores #JesusSaves #FromBrokenToRestored #tgbtg #christianposts

  2. On the last day of 2024… All I can say is “Thank You Lord” 🙌🏽 It’s been a beautiful journey so far and we are not done yet. See you all in 2025 🎉 #tgbtg #formom #thankyoulordforeverything #buildingahouse #houseupdate

  3. Day in the life with Vaseline Men. Whether it’s the early morning grind through traffic, the 9 to 5 hustle, evening gym sessions, or winding down with family — real men put skin in the game. 💪🏾 With Vaseline Men, my skin stays fresh, strong, and ready for it all. For the ones who show up every day, no matter what. #VaselineMen #Putyourskininthegame

  2. We did it Joe 🥺 one year has gone by since we opened our first store. It’s been an amazing ride. A lot of learning. We can’t wait to announce the location of our second store 🤍🙏🏾 God is just tooo good

  3. Learn before your scale 🫡 As @beautyontapp grows I’m often asked how we do it - do I have retail experience, logistics experience etc and the truth is we do it through our curiosity to learn. My next phase of learning will be deepening my understanding of logistics and distribution. As we set out to open more stores and expand our offering, getting this right is crucial. So we’ll be starting our journey with a small warehouse and distribution point to up our expertise and increase our efficiency. Excited for this next step and phase of the business 🤍
