Her-Story
BE is for the modern woman of faith, and all that we are: wives, moms, daughters, friends, employees, entrepreneurs.
BE is about BEing – us in action: with successes, challenges and failures. BE is about BEcoming – our best self. About new BEginnings – because we all deserve second chances.
Read stories of women just like you! BE inspired to live life to its fullest (John 10:10) to become all we were created to BE.
The Daughter Who Walked Away
Estrangement has become one of the quiet heartbreaks of modern family life and a phenomenon of modern culture. It lives behind smiling photos, holiday absences, unanswered texts, blocked numbers and parents who do not know what they did wrong. It lives in adult children who feel they had no choice but to leave. It lives in siblings, spouses and grandparents who are also affected by the distance. This is the story of Tania Khazaal, a daughter who cut off her mom and walked away from her family. She now helps families find their way back to one another.
Who He says I am
Amanda Stassen is a wife, mother, entrepreneur and former corporate VP of Marketing, but beneath the accomplishments was a deeper search for identity.
Rejected by her father, shaped by fear and pulled into the world of witchcraft and divination, she spent years looking for belonging, power and purpose in the wrong places.
Then one night, in a moment of darkness and fear, she cried out to Jesus and everything changed. Her story is a powerful reminder that your past may explain where you’ve been, but it does not get to define who you are.
When Grief and Faith Collide
She was preparing to welcome new life, when she lost her mother. In this Mother’s Day issue, Jessica Muamba (@mamaafrica_jess), wife of former CFL player and TSN sports analyst Henoc Muamba, shares how grief reshaped her faith, and what it means to carry both loss and legacy at the same time.
Chasing Light When the Path is Dark
No one warns you about the dark stretch of the road when everything goes silent while chasing your God-given dreams. When the doors remain closed, prayers go unanswered, rejections pile up, and we can’t see the hand in front of our face, we wonder if we heard the calling correctly. The waiting is excruciating, and the questions accumulate. Sound familiar?
What You Don’t See: Joan Kelly Walker, the real woman behind the glitter
Many first came to know Joan Kelley Walker through the polished lens of television, fashion, and Toronto’s social scene, most visibly through The Real Housewives of Toronto. It is an easy narrative to land on. Public life. Glamour. Influence. The assumption that she has it all!
But long before cameras, Joan was shaped by something far quieter and far deeper: faith, community, and a lifelong pull toward service.
