It was 27 years ago when the shift happened for Rev. Dr. Alexis Brinkley. She had reached her capacity in the organization she loved and had to address some of the distractions and detours she had made along the way that was stopping her from gaining access to her next level. Being called to ministry in an environment not conducive for women she had to be creative, relentless, and intentional to what she believed was her life’s assignment.
