Dear Black Woman, God Said — real conversations. Godly wisdom. For her.
Hey sis, I’m Dr. Marva Jean Tutt, and I saved you a seat. This is a home for Black women who are tired of carrying it all alone — a place to laugh, heal, pray, and remember what God already said about you. Come on in.
Educator, author, founder of the Learning Futures Collective, and host of Dear Black Woman, God Said. After nearly 30 years in education, Dr. Marva J writes and speaks for Black women and girls about work, voice, and becoming — and about the God who walks with us through all three.
Through Dear Black Woman, God Said, she is building a faith community where Black women feel seen, supported, and connected to God. Her heart is for honest conversations that make room for healing, hope, and the courage to reclaim your voice.
You don’t have to be everything to everyone to be worthy of love, rest, and a life rooted in God.
A reminder for your heartYou give so much of yourself. To your family. To your work. To everyone who needs you. But this space? This one is for you.
Here, we make room for real conversations about faith, healing, boundaries, rest, and remembering your worth. Not because you have it all figured out, but because you deserve a community that walks beside you while God does His work within you.
Come as you are. There’s a seat for you here.
