Purpose Awaits You!
"You are not your mistakes. Your past may serve as a reference, but it was never meant to be your permanent residence."
I AM TONYA HOLLAND
I was born in Rosedale, MS. I'm the oldest of three children. I attended High school in Rosedale, MS. Later on I went to Southwest Community College to further my studies in Management to work with people with Intellectual Disabilities. I have a heart and passion for people. It brings me great joy to encourage people. To serve, to advocate, encourage, empower, and uplift people is what I'm called to do.
​
I'm a wife, a mother, and a motivational speaker. I have a burden for hurting women. I have a burden to speak life into women. To see women free and whole is such a blessing to me. To see women operating in their God- given gift is a blessing as well. To see women overcome everything that was meant to destroy them is nothing short of God's amazing power.
I love encouraging God's people, especially women. I love to inspire people to grow beyond where they are. One of the many things I've learned in my life is that it doesn't matter where you start. It's your FINISH. I will finish what God has begun in me because I rely and depend on Him. This word has been my go to: Philippians 1:6 "I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will continue to perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus."
On September 8,2008, I was given a second chance at marriage and married the love of my life, Shedrick Holland. My story isn't like many, I made many mistakes, I made many poor decisions which left me with the consequences of my actions. God blessed me with a husband that loved Him, so he could love me properly. God has used my husband to be the force of me not giving up many times. One of the things he often said to me was honey if you GIVE UP now the enemy has WON. Through all of my pain my book FROM PAIN TO PURPOSE was birthed. I know I'm called to hurting, broken, ashamed, depressed, low self-esteem women.
I'm the one who can pull them out of their situation. No woman has to feel like she is all alone.
I am with HER!! I am FIGHTING with her!! I am FIGHTING for her!!
