TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH WILL BE REQUIRED.
Hi, I’m Quinnee—someone learning to trust God with open hands and an open heart.
I write, study, and explore the places where faith meets real life, paying attention to the small moments where God shows up and teaches me something new.
Everything here comes from that child-like place of wonder—my reflections, my research, and the lessons I’m gathering as I prepare for my M.Div. journey. I’m learning to understand Scripture with simplicity and depth, to honor the beauty of Black faith traditions, and to follow God with joy, curiosity, and honesty.
This is my little study corner in the wilderness—a place where I ask questions, grow slowly, and remember that faith is something we live one trusting step at a time.
WHAT I AM CURRENTLY STUDYING
My Interests & Areas of Study
My work is rooted in a simple but urgent question: How does theology shape the everyday lives of women and girls?
As I prepare for my Master of Divinity (M.Div.), my focus is not abstract theology for theology’s sake. It is practical theology—faith that forms identity, protects dignity, and cultivates spiritual depth, particularly for Black girls and women navigating church, culture, and community.
My calling sits at the intersection of formation, justice, and lived experience.
My Educational & Professional Foundation
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications, Art & Design, and a Master of Public Administration. Professionally, I work in healthcare marketing and communications, where I explore how systems shape human experience—who is prioritized, who is overlooked, and how information affects access and outcomes. That systems perspective now informs my theological journey. I am interested in how church systems, teaching traditions, and spiritual practices influence the spiritual and emotional lives of women and girls. Seminary, for me, isn't a shift; it's a deepening.
What I’m Currently Studying
My current study reflects a commitment to women- and girl-centered practical theology:
Biblical Interpretation Through a Womanist Lens
Engaging Scripture with historical rigor while attending to the lived realities of Black girls and women.Black Church Traditions & Liberation Theology
Exploring how the Black church has functioned as a sanctuary, a site of resistance, and a space of formation, while also examining where it must grow in its care for young women and girls.Spiritual Formation for Girls & Women
Studying how prayer, discipleship, embodiment, and community practices shape identity, agency, and theological imagination.Theology & Social Systems
Examining how adultification, silencing, and spiritual marginalization reveal theological gaps that must be addressed pastorally and structurally.Writing as Pastoral Practice
Using research, storytelling, and reflective writing as tools of teaching, healing, and theological clarity.
My Long-Term Goals
I am working toward becoming a ministry leader, researcher, and writer who:
Develops practical theological frameworks centered on Black girls and women
Bridges academic theology with everyday faith practice
Creates spaces where doubt, lament, curiosity, and growth are welcomed
Equips young women to see themselves as theological thinkers—not merely recipients of doctrine
Protects the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual flourishing of girls in church spaces
My commitment is both theological and personal.
I am building the kind of formation structures I once needed—spaces where faith is rigorous, liberating, and grounded in dignity.
Everything I study, write, and build moves toward that future: a ministry where theology is not distant theory, but lived, embodied care.
