Born in Aliceville, Alabama, and resides in Northport, Pastor Peoples' life has been a testament to resilience and faith.

Pastor Peoples' journey into ministry began in 1996 under the mentorship of Prophetess Geneva McGee through the Daughters of Zion Ministry. The following year, she received the baptism of the Holy Ghost at Shabah Evangelist Church, a pivotal moment that solidified her calling. She was ordained as a pastor by Pastor Vanskie Montaie and eventually founded the Prophetic Praise and Worship Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
In addition to her ministry, Pastor Peoples dedicated fourteen years to teaching in the Huntsville City School System before relocating to Tuscaloosa, where she continued to teach and then transitioned to full-time ministry. Her commitment to education and spiritual guidance has left an indelible mark on both her students and congregation.
Currently, Pastor Peoples leads The Apostolic Believers Church of Jesus Christ in Northport, Alabama, alongside her husband, Pastor Carl Peoples. Together, they nurture their family, including three children, a granddaughter, a foster child, and a niece. Her family is a cornerstone of her strength and a source of her unwavering dedication to her community.

Her story is one of overcoming adversity, finding faith, and turning life's challenges into opportunities for growth. This book offers readers a glimpse into her personal experiences and the lessons she has learned along the way.
In addition to her writing, Pastor Peoples is a mentor and educator, teaching others how to write and publish their own stories. Her talents extend to poetry, for which she has received acclaim, and she has been recognized with the Nick's Kids Teaching Award during her tenure with the Tuscaloosa City Schools system.
Pastor Peoples' entrepreneurial spirit is evident in her various ventures, including her Mary Kay Skin Care Products business, cake baking, and t-shirt making.
