From Judgment to Joy" – Featuring Mrs. North Carolina Plus America 2024, ShavondraFrom a young age, Shavondra longed to know the Lord. At just 9 years old, she led her family to join the Seventh-day Adventist Church, standing firm in her faith despite being different from those around her. But as a curvy teenager raised by a single mother in the projects, she became the target of harsh judgment from church elders, words that crushed her spirit and shattered her trust in the very place she sought refuge.

For years, those painful words haunted her, making her question her faith, identity, and worth. But she refused to let judgment define her. Now, as Mrs. North Carolina Plus America 2024, she uses her Beauty and Brains platform to inspire women to embrace their God-given beauty, intelligence, and confidence.

💛 How do we heal from church hurt? How do we reclaim our identity beyond judgment? Join us as Shavondra shares her powerful testimony of resilience, self-acceptance, and overcoming fear, proving that God’s love is greater than man’s judgment.
