I’m a Jesus follower doing my best to know Him, love Him, and look a little more like Him every day… although often falling miserably short.

I’m married to Brent Hammett. Tall, tattooed, drummer, creative genius. My tall drank of fine. I’m a mama to two incredible girls: Liv Nima from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Esther Fei from Guangzhou, China.

I’m the Founder of The Hub: urban ministry based in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving our city through The Lovewell Center, Purchased: Not for Sale and Rise Up & Roast. I also work with leaders across the country helping launch Hub-style ministries in places like Las Vegas, Fort Worth, Ruston, Lafayette, Houston and beyond! Somewhere along the way, I ended up serving on the Governor’s Commission for Human Trafficking Prevention and the Federal Human Trafficking Task Force.

I’m a hot mess, most of the time. I am a hippie deep down…like the old smelly kind not the new and improved hipster kind. I am tragically bad at math. I am not great at keeping secrets…like the fun kind not the serious ones. If you’re planning something that’s a surprise let it be a surprise to me as well.

All that to say, I do not have it together…never really have. I simply have a heart to free up the body of Jesus to be who they were made to be, to tilt their head back and let out a big belly laugh every once in a while, to look up and notice how good our God really is and to do my part to equip those I encounter to become armed and dangerous for the Kingdom of God.
