Allow me to introduce myself...
My name is Ty'Jalayah Robertson (my family calls me "Lady") and well, first and foremost, I am a child of God.
I come from a family of four--the second oldest daughter with one sister and two brothers. Oh! & I'm an auntie to my amazing nephew. Like many, I enjoy spending much of my time with family and friends--mine are a huge support and encouragement to my life.
As a result of my relationship with Christ, I have devoted my life to serving others through various works as a Christian minister, therapist, and social media influencer/content creator.
Social Media
My social media presence was birthed in 2013, on Instagram, as a result of my desire to learn and grow my natural hair. At the time, I was also a full-time college student and athlete (born-and raised track star, here!) at Cal State Fullerton. Despite my full schedule, I was committed to my hair journey and eventually created a YouTube channel to share it with others.
As my hair grew, my social media platforms grew too. My journey had become an inspiration for many other women (and men) who were also learning to embrace their textured hair. Since then, my ultimate goal through my journey and influence has been to encourage others to feel confident with exactly who and how they were created.
Ministry
In the midst of my hair growth and social media expansion, my relationship with Christ was rapidly developing as well. I now share my testimonies and faith walk with anyone that is interested--right on my social media platforms. In this, the enemy is defeated, and God is glorified!
As Revelation 12:11 says, "they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony."
For this reason, I share.
Alongside my social media ministry, God also uses me to speak and provide spiritual counsel in churches through exhortation and prayer. He has been using me in this capacity since 2015. In 2019, I became a Licensed Minister of the faith.
My hope is that, through my own stories, transparency, and teachings, others will feel less alone, be freed of shame or guilt, and draw nearer to Christ.
Therapy
My faith and passion to help and encourage others ultimately inspired my decision to pursue the profession of therapy. In 2019, I continued my education at Azusa Pacific University to obtain my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology: Marriage and Family Therapy. I now work at a counseling center in which I am blessed to provide services to individuals who specifically desire faith-integrated therapy; as well as individuals who share a different faith background.
