Laughs I never thought that I would be this person I never thought that I would be publicly denouncing Delta Sigma Theta sorority Incorporated but here I am and that’s exactly what I’m doing today I have cut off the comments on this video because this is not something that is Up For Debate
Or something that needs to have further discussion In This Moment I am protecting my mental health and I’m protecting my peace through only allowing what I say in this video to be what is out there at this time I do believe that God desires me to have future conversations about this
But my assignment today is just to Simply publicly denounce my membership as a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority Incorporated I have been toiling with this for a while it is something that I have not decided to do overnight it is something that in multiple ways God has specifically told me to do
It’s something that like I ran away from oh I’m getting emotional because of the people especially the women in that organization that I love the women that are part of that organization that I’ve had an impact on my life and because of the positive efforts that have come from the organization
And what the organization means to a lot of people me separating myself and denouncing does not diminish those efforts but what God has placed on my heart and has convicted me to do is to only have a covenant with my husband and a covenant with him being a member of Delta Sigma data
Sorority Incorporated is a lifetime commitment it is a covenant that I made when I was 20 years old and now as a 32 year old woman of God I am no longer that girl and part of my own becoming her journey has been reconciling and redeeming
Parts of me and parts of my past that I’m not proud of things that I’ve done that I’m not proud of things that in the name of Delta I did that not only were sin but hurt people and for those things I apologize and I have repented for because
It doesn’t matter if the organization itself claims to be a Christian organization if the people in the organization do not operate like Christ then that is where things go wrong and when I was a member of Delta I didn’t always operate like Christ for the most part I was filled with pride
I was filled with a lot and I so badly wanted to be seen as someone who was a woman of power who was a woman of stature who was a woman of elegance and excellence and while none of those things were bad in Desiring I got them from the wrong place
Now that I know better I know that like my excellence and my confidence and who I am is all from God I think about one of the things that we say as members of the sorority it’s all of my love all of my peace and happiness I give it to Delta
Think about that I really thought about that like all of my love all of my peace no I’m not willing to give that to Delta I’m not willing to give any of that to anything or anyone outside of God and so as I have been going through this journey of growth and healing
And becoming who I was made to be I’ve had to look back at my life and look at agreements that I’ve made olds that I’ve taken that were not of God and I know I know what our ritual book says I was a chapter president I’ve spoken and attended conferences and conventions
I was that girl um but on the back side I lied a lot and I cheated and I manipulated people and I did those on my own account in the name of Delta I was encouraged to do certain things I was encouraged to be discreet I was encouraged to operate in ways that
I truly have repented for and this is not something that I at this time am ready to like dive deep into because truth be told I don’t know completely why God has placed this on my heart right now I have always been as transparent as I can be with you all
In the healthiest way that I could do it and this is one of those times for me where I am doing this and being obedient the best way that I know how for where I am right now and sometimes God just tells us to do something without us understanding completely why but
I will never walk in disobedience because I’m afraid of what people think or afraid of how people will respond I will never do that because I Fear God I do not fear man so me cutting off the comments at this point is not because I’m not prepared to have a conversation in the
Future it’s because I genuinely wanted to say this and there is no room for debate so to members of the organization if you believe in Christ I’m still your sister and whether you accept me or throw me away I love you the same and I do have a heart for women
And I had to reconcile that part of my life and this is part of me doing that so if you watch this whole thing I really appreciate it and I thank God for Grace because it was Grace that even allows me to sit here whole and healed and able to
Publicly denounce in this way and to live the way that I live in full freedom and joy and I’m grateful and I thank God and that’s it
