This is Closet Conversations, where we ask the darkest of questions and dare to answer them. Using conversation as a form of healing, your host Shante Cooks, seeks to give permission to everyone to be their unique-selves. "Safety is the prerequisite for Becoming." Knowing your identity in Christ frees you, so much so that your willing to walk into the darkest closets (where the "boggy man" is...) only to find out ain't nothing in there except growth and vulnerability. Join Shante every Friday evening, as we create space to love while having Closet Conversations.

    Will You Keep Going?

    Will You Keep Going?

    We're Back!!!!!

    Press resume on the movie because Shante Cooks is back like she never left.

    Join her in the Closet as we talk about perseverance. What is it? Why is it important? and how do we do it? All these questions are answered in this episode (one way or another.) 

    You can tell she was on a break because the woman of God came through dripping. Not much to say just check out this episode. 

    Love y'all!

    Was It You or God Who Broke Your Heart?

    Was It You or God Who Broke Your Heart?

    Let's just be honest people.

    Who was it really? Was it you or was it God who stripped away the very thing you committed your life, energy, and soul into? Was that plan of yours one that you've submitted to the Lord or did you just come up with that all on your own?

    Listen as three girlfriends share their unique experience when dealing with heartbreak. How did they get into this situation and how did they get out? Three completely different stories told that came to one central conclusion: God's purposes will prevail, rather we like it or not.

    Share, laugh, comfort, and express is what Shante Cooks, Shanice Wiggins, and Stephanie Caldwell decided to do around the topic of heartbreak. This ain't no "regular-degular" story (although mine (Shante) is) of heart break but really the story that lead us to heartbreak simply because of our own plan.

    God knows the plans He has for us, will you follow?

    Do You Even Like You?

    Do You Even Like You?

    Hey, Hey, Hey! 

    We are officially one month old! Congratulations to us! thanks to all of you who listen consistently, every Friday evening. Today we are talking about loving ourselves, and that first starts with "do you even like you?" 

    Enter into the Closet as Shante maps out the way she began to love herself. "The Middle Ground" she calls it, is the place where you are, where you're going, and taking responsibility. She shares her own life's journey of weight loss and healthy living as a testimony and an example of how she got to where she is now & the continual process of the journey. 

    Allow yourself to see yourself this year, you are worth it!

    Now What Ladies?

    Now What Ladies?

    MY GOD ON TODAY!

    Psh! The goats have entered Closet. Y'all gone need some extra wig glue when we get done.

    Jump into a meeting of three women of God who has never had a conversation together but who is all committed to the same goal: Our Father's Business. Listen as Shante sits at the feet of Mrs. Bembery & Mrs. Caldwell, to learn what a woman truly is ( a Godly woman that is.)

    They discuss many facets of this topic on womanhood but the main thing is, there is a such thing as "a woman of God" and they both has demonstrated just that throughout this entire conversation. I'm learning today y'all, and it would "behoove" you to do the same.

    "I'm speechless."

Now what ladies

That was such a blessing to hear my sister in law Gwenda and you other ladies to speak on the now generation. I learn a lot by listening and getting some great nuggets. Yes, us older generation has to start teaching the young ladies out of love without judging... that was so powerful... Lolita
