Today we’d like to introduce you to Sabreena Covington.
Sabreena, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My journey started with forgiveness by faith for my freedom. After more than 20 years of not really having a relationship with my mother, God decided it was time for reconciliation.
Since Mother’s Day of 2017, my mother and I have been communicating at least once a week, if not more. Shortly thereafter, I felt led to share my testimony to help other women break the chains of their past and be able to forgive for their freedom. Past hurt and pain can keep people in mental, physical and emotional bondage. I was only planning to tell my testimony once, but God had a different plan for me.
The fall event in 2017 led to other speaking engagements and a desire to help youth girls in addition to women. In fall 2018, the first teen talk was held for youth girls and the women who took the time to bring them to the event. I realized that this is my passion… to help women and youth girls break generational strongholds. Through my journey, I’ve learned that our past can make us stronger if we as sisters band together to break the chains.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
No, it has not been a smooth road.
-Struggle #1 Putting my faith into action and stepping out into the unknown. Starting a non-profit wasn’t part of my plan, or so I thought.
-Struggle #2 Finding time to get things done and being ok to ask for help while working full-time, being a wife and a mother.
-Struggle #3 Gradually becoming more comfortable with opening up to others and allowing people who have already gone down this path to educate and encourage me.
-Struggle #4 When launching something new, it can be challenging to find venues, businesses, sponsors willing to support the cause.
Sisters Breaking Chains Together – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Sisters Breaking Chains Together or SBCT is a 501c3 non-profit organization serving youth girls and women in Collin County Texas. Officially organized in the fall of 2018, we’re focused on developing programs and cultivating resources to support our constituents in support of SBCT’s vision and mission: Sisters working together to break the chains of generational strongholds to renew, redirect, rebuild and restore ourselves, our families and communities.
These programs will include a variety of events, workshops and community service projects. The whole team is truly excited about what we’ll do this year and beyond.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
If we can help one woman forgive someone or something from the past and start focusing on the present and future in a more productive, healthy and loving way.
If we can help a young girl feel loved and supported instead of thinking about the bully in school, suicide, running away from home, or looking for love in the wrong places.
If we can help women and young girls realize that with God all things are possible.
