edit data

LaShawnda Jones is an author and photographer committed to expressing her truth. Her work focuses on faith application in daily life, Womanhood and social justice.

LaShawnda grew up in the Midwest, in several cities along Lake Michigan. After college, she moved from Milwaukee, WI to New York, NY. Adapting to living in the center of everything became an outward illustration of transition even as she transformed spiritually. Fifteen years later, she left New York to slow down and recalibrate in the desert near Tucson, AZ. After nearly three years of reviving herself the desert, she returned to Milwaukee, WI to be closer to her sister. As Milwaukee has launched her into great things throughout her life, she’s looking forward to what comes next.

Quotes by LaShawnda Jones (?)

“Solitude is good for a time, but not for all time. Don’t forget to come back and embrace a community. Build one, if you must. Don’t neglect the sharing of yourself. Even those parts that are not so clean have value. In fact, the best lessons you have to offer in life come from your struggles in the darkness and grit of life.”

“Sometimes getting to the other side seems impossible. You know there’s a way. You can actually see the steps in your mind – but it all seems out of reach. Pause. Relax. Remember to do what you can in the moment you’re in. Before long, you’ll arrive at your destination ready for the next challenge.”

“I didn’t know I was in a prison until I was told I could go no further than where I am. It was in that moment that I determined to free myself. I am becoming much greater than I am today. I need the belief to grow.”

“Women need to learn to accept the incredible blessing that God created us to be. When God created Eve, He termed her a comparable mate, a helper to man. When God took Jesus, He gave us the Holy Spirit as a Helper and Comforter. The lie is: people think a helper is weak. The truth is: without help, what can anyone accomplish?
There is indeed great power in who we are as women. We indeed need to let go of the lies. We also need to embrace the truth.”
