THE JOURNEY TO BLYSS
I know what it feels like to hit a wall. I also know how to break it down
The Story
If you look at my life now, you see the titles: Ordained Minister, Master of Science in Psychology, Author, Founder. But if you look closer, you will see the scars that built them.
My story isn’t a straight line to success. It is a winding road of survival, silence, and eventually, a sound so loud it shattered the glass ceiling of my own limitations.
The Silence &
The Storm
I was raised in the warm, protective arms of my paternal grandparents in Upstate New York. They were my foundation. But outside those doors, the world was not as kind.
By the time I was 15, I had survived running away from home and two separate sexual assaults—one at gunpoint. In those days, there was great shame in talking to counselors or therapists. There were no resources offered to me anyway. There was only a terrified young girl expected to swallow her trauma, dry her eyes, and keep moving.
So, that is what I did. I kept moving. But when you bury pain, it grows.
That unresolved trauma followed me into adulthood. I found myself trapped in a marriage that was less of a partnership and more of a prison. I was held captive—mentally, spiritually, and physically—by a man who wouldn't let me speak without permission. When I finally escaped, I fell right into another toxic relationship. I was looking for love, but I was finding new ways to be broken.
The Crash
I tried to outrun the hurt with achievement. I became a Student Trustee. I won awards. But you cannot outrun what you haven’t healed.
Everything came to a head at Howard University. The grief of losing my grandfather—my rock—combined with the chaos of moving ten times in six years, finally broke the dam.
I didn’t just stumble; I crashed.
I suffered a nervous breakdown that landed me in a psychiatric ward on a 72-hour hold. I walked out five days later with a prescription for four different heavy medications. The doctors gave me a diagnosis. The world gave me a label.
The Advocacy
That moment in the ward could have been the end of my story. But God had other plans.
I returned to the sanctuary of my grandmother’s home. In that safe harbor, I made a decision that changed everything: I refused to be a victim of a system that didn't understand me.
I became my own advocate. I worked to reclaim my mind—not just by managing symptoms, but by seeking true healing. I decided to fight back with knowledge. I went back to school to understand the very mind they told me was broken.
I earned my Bachelor’s of Arts in Cultural Studies and my Master of Science in Psychology. I turned my pain into my expertise. I learned the science behind the suffering so I could help other women navigate their way out of the dark.
The Radiant Present
Today, the silence is gone.
In 2020, I was ordained as a minister, bringing God into the center of the healing process. I turned my tears into art, publishing my poetry collection, Stained Glass Windows for Butterflies, which I transformed into an audio recording with the album For Love.
I created Amenya Journée because I know there are women out there who are just like I was—advocating for their own peace, fighting to be heard, and looking for a hand to hold.
Why Work With Me?
Because I don’t just offer coaching; I offer companionship for the climb. I have stood at the bottom of the pit, and I have found the way out.
Your story is far from over. The wall you are facing is not a dead end—it’s just the place where your breakthrough begins.

Psychological Insight
I bring the rigor of a Master of Science in Psychology to every session. We move beyond surface-level fixes to understand the root of your patterns. You get coaching that isn't just intuitive—it’s grounded in research and real science.
Lived Resilience
My guidance isn't just academic; it is born from testimony. I have navigated the silence, the crash, and the climb. I offer a judgment-free space because I know firsthand how heavy the crown feels before it is restored.
Spiritual Grounding
As an ordained minister, I know that true restoration must touch the soul. We bridge the gap between psychological health and spiritual strength, helping you access a peace that surpasses all understanding.
