It is her sincere hope, that we engage God and each other in ways that lead to restoration of health for ourselves and our communities. She has created Serenity’s Waiting for just that purpose; Creating the pause leaders desire to re-center re-focus, re-invent and renew to their vision, direction, intention and Spirit.

PEACE
The African Peace Adinkra symbol, known as “Bi Nka Bi,” represents peace, harmony, and conflict resolution. Its imagery—two fish biting each other’s tails—serves as a reminder to avoid provocation and live in unity. This symbol encourages reconciliation and emphasizes the importance of living in peaceful coexistence with others. It’s a powerful message of promoting understanding and mutual respect in all relationships.
