“To encourage and empower others that there is recovery after every storm…”
Victoriously surviving Sexual Abuse and Rape, Mitzi’s primary purpose in life is to love, heal, and restore all women suffering from childhood Sexual Abuse and teenage Rape. She expresses her knowledge and wisdom through God’s Word – The Holy Bible. Her first book, “In Jesus Name, Please Don’t Touch Me There” (2006) reveals her journey of how the Word of God saved her life and how there is nothing you can’t overcome in Christ.
Raised in the inner city of Boston, Mitzi has continually searched for answers throughout her life. God’s love, healing, and restoration changed her life and has given her the courage and strength to move forward in her assignment to help others.
She received God’s assignment to “bring those out of darkness” under the leadership of Extraordinary Pastors Dwayne and Kitt Brewington while attending Victory Christian Church International (www.vcci.org) in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
The vision for Loved, Healed and Restored is derived from 1Peter 2:9, But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Her commitment is “To encourage and empower others that there is recovery after every storm…”
In 2017 Mitzi self-published and released her second book, the “Loved, Healed & Restored Daily Journal”. This book is an excellent tool to journal, pray or for simply capturing your thoughts, visions and dreams.
