Prophets are often born into the most dysfunctional families, families that don't want them, families that are fighting generational demons, families and homes that are unloving. I believe all of this is so that a Prophet doesn't become prideful and so that they depend on God and God alone.
Ephesians 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
The bible says that we are all children of God therefore we are all family, however scripturally only those who accept Christ are in his true family. But unfortunately most people in the church act the same as the world. They don't act like a family but like slave masters, who want to oppress blacks, especially black women even when they see one like myself trying and trying hard despite her circumstances. They still want to oppress you.
No one in my family actually believes that I am a prophet despite other prophets prophesying over me in church to me and in front of them about who I am.... but my family has little faith. I even predicted both of my grandparents death before it happened....but I guess they forgot that one and all the other predictions that came to past since I was 6 years old.
When another black woman prophet prophesied over me and anointed my crown at my mothers church owned by a white patriarchal family, the junior pastor a white man did everything he could to oppress me and my gifts in the church. They wouldn't even let me help with media and social media, they didn't care that I have a degree.
These are the people who still think so little of me. They think I am bound to end up as nothing. Despite what I have accomplished without their help.
As a black woman, I've realized that in this world I have no rights....literally.
Black people have no rights, but Black women are the most disrespected.
Everyone copies us, uses us, steal our styles, our ideas but never gives the credit.
Everyone in Toronto does the same thing, oppresses and steal from black people, especially black women. I noticed especially that even other Black people in high power positions, Hispanic women and Asian women participate in the oppression of Black women.
As a young black woman growing up in Toronto as I entered university and my early 20's it became more apparent that no one was on my side and in fact everyone was competing with me, or working to stop me from succeeding despite me being the one with the most socio-economic disadvantages, growing up black, from a single parent middle-low income class neighbourhood. But people don't care, they always saw me as a threat for some reason. I've never been one to compete with others, just myself.
What are we all competing for anyway? We all end up dead. I've never been one to chase fame, I am sure I could have tried harder with my modelling career when I was in my early 20s, but some things are simply not worth your dignity and soul.
I rather be a prophet without honour than a famous prophet. I don't want fame at all. I just want to serve the Lord and be an example in a world where all the examples are mostly White women. I wish I can show that not all of us are the same, even when the world tried to turn me out, Jesus was right there pushing me back on the right path telling me to remember who I am, and why I came to this earth.

A Prophet Without Honor
