What She Does

  • Writing

    In her dreams, she is an accomplished author at the top of her game, but in reality she is a "struggling author." Her work is as flawed as she is! She was never able to pay top dollar and produce masterpieces, but she is happy for the authenticity of her writing. She is most honest when she speaks to God (prayers) and when she writes. At both times she is bare. Whether her soul is filled with joy or she is broken; only then is she rendered naked by truth.
  • Teaching

    Teaching was never her ideal job; but God knew that children needed her, and she needed them more. Her life has been touched and her heart forever changed by the lessons learned from children. They have been master teachers and nightly she prays that she has made a difference in even one child's life. Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18: 3
  • Speaking

    She believes that God has given her the "gift of gab." What an irony, because when she was much younger she was a relatively quiet child. She thinks she has found her voice, but prays that her words will ever be filled with grace (Colossians 4: 6). Her personal prayer is that God will use her at every speaking engagement to be a skilled orator for His glory.
  • Loving

    She loves her family, her friends, and now truly loves herself, but is daily learning to love God sincerely. The funny thing about loving God is that He requires you to love others. Others! She demonstrates God's love as she surrenders to His will to love and serve others. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4: 11 See also 1 Corinthians 13: 13, Philippians 2: 3-4, 1 John 4: 19-21, Matthew 5: 43-48, and John 13: 34.

Telling My Story:
The Journey of a Ghetto Girl

Telling My Story: The Journey of a Ghetto GirlAuthor Allesley Officer has had just one wish her entire life—to be loved. Even though she has always known the Creator of the universe cared for her, she never truly understood the depth of His love until her life became a suicidal travesty.

Officer begins her memoir by candidly detailing her life as a young girl growing up in the inner-city of Kingston, Jamaica. Born to a twenty-one-year-old unwed mother of two other children, Officer's journey was often difficult as she was shuttled back and forth between her mother and father's homes. Repeatedly molested by first a stepsister and then a family friend, Officer relays how she finally told her father—and was shocked when he did nothing. As she shares the details of her lifelong battle with suicidal thoughts and images fueled by years of sexual abuse, low self-esteem, and self-loathing, she also provides hope to others by illustrating how she was eventually able to rise above life's challenges and learn to love herself once again.

Telling My Story: The Journey of a Ghetto Girl shares one woman's poignant journey of survival that will remind women everywhere to never forget their inner beauty, no matter how difficult life becomes.
