I graduated with my PhD in Christian Organizational Leadership in 2021, however I never attended my graduation. The pandemic was still going strong and my school canceled the graduation. We were given the option to attend later that semester but I didn't attend. I thought I'd just do a photo shoot and call it that. I opted to get my doctorate sent to me in the mail. I still have no regrets. A ceremony doesn't change a lifetime of work. My point is sometimes when you have overcome, you still need to reflect and say, "I am proud of me." My enemies tried to rob me of my moment but still I did what God instructed me to do in spite of it all. This is simply me, grateful to God, and telling myself, "I am worthy, look what God did." I was told, "I wouldn't make it, I was a looser, I'd never succeed." I was lied on, lied to, and had my character questioned for something I knew nothing about. God made them all a liar and He continues to make ways. I am not the same person I was in 2021. I am stronger, wiser, fuller and more determined. I am Dr. Samaria M Colbert PhD.
