I'm Moving for Peace

“So are you moving to Mexico for another radio job?”

That’s the question someone asked me the other day.

I didn’t flinch. I didn’t overthink. I just said, “No. I’m moving for peace this time.”

Because that’s the truth.

Not Every Move Is About a Paycheck

For 20 years, I worked in radio. I gave my all. Showed up early. Stayed late. Loved on listeners. Brought energy, passion, and heart to the mic every single day.

But guess what? That didn’t protect me.

I was fired from a Christian station after speaking up about the unfair treatment of Black employees. I sat in meetings trying to advocate for equity, only to be labeled a problem. Not a person. A problem.

It wasn’t about performance. It was about power—and how it’s misused when people care more about image than impact.

When Loyalty Ain’t Enough

I watched people get let go with newborns at home. I saw folks get demoted quietly while others with no qualifications got promoted loudly.

And you know what hurt the most? The silence. The silence from people who said they loved you. The silence from coworkers who called themselves “friends” who watched it happen and said nothing.

After 20 years, I didn’t get a thank you. I got a termination email on Halloween.

Will I Ever Go Back?

To be honest, I don’t know.

Do I still love radio? Yes.
Do I still love connecting with people? Absolutely.
But going back into a system that doesn’t protect its people? That doesn’t sit right with me.

I’m not chasing platforms anymore—I’m chasing peace.

And right now, peace looks like unplugging from the noise and plugging into GOD.

I Chose Me This Time

This short -term move to Mexico ain’t about a title, a contract, or a new opportunity. It’s about healing. It's about recovery. It’s about doing something bold and brave that I would’ve never done if I stayed stuck waiting for approval.

I chose me this time. I chose my family. I chose GOD.

So no, I’m not moving for a job.

I’m moving for peace.

Scripture:
"And the peace of GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:7 (ESV)

Final Thought

If you’re still waiting for the world to validate your worth, you’ll always be disappointed.

Sometimes, the biggest act of faith is walking away from what once defined you, and allowing GOD to redefine you through peace, not pressure.
