words, spoken and written
once an award-winning preacher and pastoral care provider, Peace has traded the pulpit for the pen, dedicating herself fully to the craft of writing.
first and foremost an essayist, her work explores spirituality, diasporic identity, healing from religious trauma, and the sacred woven into the everyday. her essays have appeared in peer-reviewed journals, anthologies, and other publications, yet she finds the greatest joy in scribbling on social media, where her wonderings meet her wanderings.
she is currently working on new essays and long-form projects that continue to explore the rich tapestry of mysticism, miracles, and the unseen threads that bind us across time and space.
