What No One Told Me About...

She didn't leave. She was being prepared. After a season of silence, Rickeyta Starks is back, and she's not returning empty-handed. She's coming with a book, a story, and a message she couldn't keep to herself any longer. Seen: Because God Never Looked Away started with a moment in a Dallas restaurant, a stranger's whisper, and a prayer God answered in a way she never expected. What followed became a book. And now, it's becoming a conversation. This trailer is your first look at what's coming. Over the next several weeks, Rickeyta will walk through the themes of Seen right here, invisibility, spiritual warfare, divine silence, and what it means to finally be found by a God who never stopped looking. This is for the woman who's been doing the work in the dark. The founder who keeps showing up. The wife, the mom, the woman in the middle of something hard who needs to know she is not invisible.
