Hi Neighbors!
I want to introduce you to Monique Baisden, singer, songwriter, producer, writer, and coach, and more, of 4 The Kingdom Entertainment, and who co-directed "Enough is Enough" advocacy video (more) in 2020 with M. Denise Simmons of MD Simmons Productions.
We met back at Gonzaga at our first class for a MA in Communication and Leadership Studies. Both Christians, both creatives, both entrepreneurs, both caregivers, and both integrate our craft with our research, practice, and communities. I am grateful to know her, and count her as a sister and friend.
I love her passion, energy, and care that she puts on every project and relationship she does. She has something in the cue at all times. She stays engaged, involved, and faithful, and doesn't boast about it, but gives credit where it's due (see Credits below), and God the glory. The praise she receives follows after, as in the contest recognition she is duly now receiving for the video and following short story.
These are the projects for the times, "such a time as this," that give God glory because creativity expresses a spiritual gift of craftspersonship that builds spiritual kingdoms with a vision of what good will be in eternity now.
Happy Black History month to those who built history before us, and to those building it now!
Kindly,
Rev. Dr. Dena
Dena Michele Rosko, PhD, MA, CLCM encourages and inspires people to develop cultures of heritage in their ministries, partnerships, and organizations by writing, publishing, and training creative content about heritage theology, formation, and care across multiple genres, by facilitating groups, workshops, and retreats with dialogue and heritage circles, and by consulting and coaching leaders, advocates, carers, and families. The gospel promises a beautiful story of a shared heritage together in Christ that can bless and light the world!
