Forever Imperfect: Revamping Imperfectly B Into a Christian Website

“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (English Standard Version)

Hello world. For those who have followed me, glad to have you back! For those who are new, HEY! I’m Brittany Shawnté and I’m a writer/editor (read more about me here). This is a LONG post (and if you’re reading this on your phone, I especially apologize to you! RECAP is at the bottom!). But I have to explain some things. Clearly.

I’ve been away from writing on this site for A WHILE. In January 2022, I created a mission statement: to use my creativity and words to inspire and encourage others to confidently walk in the purposes that God gave them.

By the end of 2022, I realized I had fallen from that with the whole adulting/making money thing, and sought to realign myself to my purpose. In fact, that was my word for 2023: REALIGNMENT. I thought that meant focusing more on the original intent of Imperfectly B, which was to create motivating and inspiring content. However, God was slowly pulling me into aligning with sharing more about Him.

2023: A Year of Realignment

This post is really somewhat of a journal entry, but if it hit, let it stick. I’ll be honest with y’all, as I try my best to be. I lose myself from time to time. We all do. It happens because life happens. But between late 2020 and most of 2021….WHEW I was going through it. I was finally going through healing and self-accountability for my last romantic endeavor, and loneliness was taking its toll. So, when 2022 came around and I was in a better place, I just wanted to have fun. And boy, did I have a time last year!

When it came time to prepare a vision board for 2023, I THOUGHT my word for the new year would be “reinvention.” I was stuck on that for a while. I needed to look a certain way, act a certain way, make a certain amount of money, and make some serious life moves. I needed to “be different.” That was before praying and meditating on my 2023 ideas and goals.

God showed me that I didn’t need to “reinvent myself.” I needed to realign myself with my purpose for this site and the other plans He had for my life.

Brittany Shawnté’s Interview on Host Tammy Padilla’s “Let’s Talk About Him – The Lord!”

Y’all, with everything I have going on, I forgot to share a HUGE piece of news on the site! I recently did an interview with host Tammy Padilla of Blessed Touch LLC, who has her own online show, Let’s Talk About Him-The Lord! Now, Ms. Tammy, as I call her (I’ve known her since I was a kid in church), regularly interviews singers, pastors, entrepreneurs, and others to share encouraging words and more about their spiritual lives. I’m so glad that we were finally able to get something on the books!

On the broadcast, I spoke about how Imperfectly B got started, my Monday Motivation eBook, my truly imperfect spiritual journey, and more! The few times people have interviewed me, I’ve definitely been really nervous (especially because I’m used to doing the interviewing myself!). However, this conversation really flowed, and I was so honored to share my story.
