Please share with us when and why you
decided to begin Quelynn, Inc.
Quelynn, Inc. in the
business/ministry that God gave me in 2005 after I prayed and asked Him for a
business that would serve Him and allow me to generate an income. Through
Quelynn, Inc., I have been blessed to help women all over the world to grow in
their relationship with God, build what I like to call “GODfidence”, start
their own businesses, and even become women of virtue as prescribed in Proverbs
31.
I decided to start
Quelynn, Inc. after I wrote a booklet entitled, “The Meeting of Success”
teaching seven keys to obtaining success from defining one’s personal
definition of success to writing their vision and implementing strategies and
action steps to their journey of success.

What is
the Mission of your ministry?
The mission of Quelynn, Inc. is to catapult
women to their wealthy place through spiritual empowerment, vision development
and personal enhancement coaching and training that builds their confidence,
ignites their passion and defines their purpose.

In the beginning, was it a difficult for
you sharing your personal testimonies or translating your thoughts in an open
forum? If so, how did you overcome?
Yes, it was extremely
difficult. I recall the Lord telling me to share my first personal testimony of
overcoming a bitter divorce at a women’s conference I hosted in 2003. I begged
God not to put that burden on me, but eventually I obeyed. When I shared that
testimony I literally cried from beginning to end. It was a struggle to be so
open and raw about my personal experience. However, it was through my
obedience, that God set me free from being ashamed of my past and my
testimonies. Although I was free of the shame, it was still difficult to speak
of at first but the more I shared the easier it became and now I’m able to
share with ease knowing that my story helps others to overcome.

Tell
us a little more about mPOWERd 4 LIFE Girls Network Ministry.
mPOWERd 4 LIFE GirlsNetwork was birth out of my desire to help young ladies not to go down the same
path I chose of promiscuity. It started hosting girl conferences, retreats,
monthly sessions to now having virtual internet classes. Through mPOWERd 4 LIFE
I teach young ladies to value their virtue while incorporating life skills,
esteem building, and even abstinence.

Is
there anything else you would like to say to the readers?
Yes. Don’t look to media
and the images they portray as women as the standard because it’s not. As women
of God (of all ages) remember above all that you represent your Heavenly Father
in all aspects of your life from your inner beauty to your outer appearance and
how you interact with others. Always be mindful of this and present yourself
accordingly. Remember, as daughters of the Most High God, we are supposed to be
world transformers and not world conformers. Regardless of what images are be
portrayed on television, we have to choose to be better.

Before we close, will you share with us your favorite
scripture?
The very first
Scripture that ministered to my heart and changed my life was Matthew 5:16
which says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.” From that, my prayer has
always been, “Lord, let me be a light so that You may be glorified through my
life.”
