Hey, Kings & Queens of the Most High, this is the Soul-See-Ologist, Amelia Renee, coming to you with another blog post of G.I.O (Get It Out) the Blog Forum. I think it's time to formally re-introduce myself because I'm constantly evolving and being molded into the woman of God that I am destined, commanded, and ordained to be. I am Amelia Renee’, many people knew me as Ashh Kweente, Ashley, Kweente, or mostly just Ashh, with two h’s. This is no identity crisis, I repeat this is no identity crisis, this is evolution. My evolution may look sudden to people who haven't been consistent, relevant, or even invited to witness what God has been doing to me, through me, and for me. A lot of people like to think they know me, but like my first song “Know me” says, “Why do these [people] think they really know me?” So allow me to fill you in on who I am. I am Amelia Renee, a woman of God, a wife, a mother, and somebody's daughter. I am a Sociologist, hints the name “Soul-See-Ologist” because God has trusted and chosen me to see the things humans overlook. I am a Master’s student at my dream school, Clemson University, studying Youth Development Leadership, which will allow me to make my dreams come true by making a difference in the lives of others, especially those in their formative years. I began dancing at the age of 5. I danced on and off for years while exploring other sports like basketball, tennis, volleyball, and eventually football. Then, I returned to my first love as a teenager and completed my teenage years as a full-time praise dancer. I paused dancing for a few years around 18-21, then began my dance teaching career at 22. Overall, it's been 25 years since I started dancing. I love praise dance the most, but I am also skilled in hip-hop, classical, and jazz. I am working on getting to pointe to fulfill my ballerina dreams. I've taught a dance camp through my company, Rea7m (Realm 7), and began making merchandise and building the brand while being known as Ashh Kweente. A “Jane of all trades,” I've been a writer since around 8. Writing has opened the door for many unique opportunities; my favorite was being accepted into the Princeton Summer Journalism program in 2012. I was the only person selected from Pennsylvania that year and one of the few from the entire East Coast. I've edited and posted in the Princeton Summer Journal, a Princeton University and Princeton, New Jersey newspaper. I was also an editor for Philly Word Magazine, which covered many prominent artists and producers, like DJ Diamond Kutz and Jamie Foxx. In grade school, I wrote for and won oratorical contests. I've constantly been reminded to appreciate and utilize my gift of writing; one of my quotes is, “Success is Written.” I’m a proud nerd. I am really into art and fashion, and can draw a little when my patience allows. I played on two semi-pro women's full tackle football teams of the WFA, paid my dues, showed up consistently, but it took me two teams to realize God did not want me to take that route. Now I understand why he never let me play in an actual game. I started as a linebacker at 19 and was a starter until a concussion took me out, and a scuffle got me kicked off the team. Then, at 26, when my second-born child was 10 months, I started playing again. I was told I was a starter and captain, but eventually God halted me in my tracks again before I could play an actual game. I've picked up another original love of mine, tennis. Tennis and I have a quiet passion for one another that no one knew how to nurture when I was young. God blessed me with an internship in tenth grade at the Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis Center in Manayunk, PA. That company's name has changed several times, so I'm not sure what it's called now, but I believe it's still there. This is where I learned technique and skill, and I better understood tennis and why I love it so much. The last thing I'm willing to share is that I love music. I can sing, write songs, and play a few instruments. I don't practice the guitar and piano much anymore, but I have them. I've always had a guitar, a snare, and a piano. I'm pretty dope at the drums, I love percussion, but drum sets intimidate me sometimes. I played the tuba in middle school. I grew up in a drum corps playing the snare and the tom. And I have a love for marching and stepping; I grew up on a drill team as well. I have a music note on my right calf because it's taken me places. I grew up in choirs in my church, and I had the honor and privilege of being part of the Joy Unlimited Youth Mass Choir in my early teens. We traveled around the Tri-state area and performed and ministered in several churches and significant events. I met many well-known people, like former Governor Ed Randell, Bianca Ryan, Jill Scott, and others. I've done a lot and refuse to be too bashful to appreciate it any longer. Just like pain is in the past, so are our accomplishments, but these experiences built the foundation of my dreams, purpose, and goals. As a sociologist, I study how social categories co-exist and what each social category needs to thrive in such a crowded and small world. How are society's norms, traditions, and expectations interfering with the growth and development of the individual, not just from a physical or natural perspective but also from a spiritual one? I have chosen to further my career as a sociologist in the direction of youth and young people. Still, I won't limit myself to a specific age group, social class, religious sectors, cultures, and other institutions that make up our society. My passion is God, and God drives my purpose and existence, so I focus a lot of my studies on the eternal layer of our being, the Soul. My soul journey has picked up over the past decade, and I am dedicated to reminding others how important it is to learn about our souls and how the world impacts them. So, I live a reserved and private life. In another blog, I will address common Google searches, such as “What happened to Ashh Kweente?. I live a reserved and private life because my calling sometimes requires seclusion. I can surrender more easily to God’s will and His way without so much noise. People can easily become distractions, and I can no longer cater to or entertain egos and low-vibration humans. Low vibration humans focus solely on the needs of the flesh. Every person with a low vibration or “vibe” is not bad, but eventually they will pull you down or suck up your energy and drain you. God called me to leave the life and people I knew behind me, and it's finally starting to feel good—no family secrets, drama, gossip, chaos, just the peace that passes all understanding. People don't understand how I can go no contact with those I used to think I couldn't live without, but that was included in my “Yes” to God. So I walk with God, my husband, and my children. Anyone else God intends to be a part of my life, let’s just say we haven't kicked it off yet. My calling will attract a lot of good and bad vibes and spirits. I'll explain more about that in another blog post. But this is what God has called me to do, so I’m doing it. So, yeah, this is just a tiny portion of who I am. Those whom God intends to know my depths will. Those who knew me know an outdated version of me. And any lies ever spoken about me will fall to the depths beneath our feet in Jesus' Name. I'm not perfect by far. I've made mistakes and bad decisions and hurt others with my actions and ignorance at one time or another. I was never a bad person, but another quote of mine is, “I’m not always without fault,” meaning I aim to be blameless in the eyes of God, and I am willing to be accountable for my actions if they ever hurt or offend others. God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness, and baby, thy flesh can sometimes be weak. But we must continue to grow, learn who God is, and what He requires of us. Let God introduce you to your soul, the depths of you that live forever. I'm Amelia Renee, by the grace of God, here’s another blog! I pray it was nice to know a little about my journey, and if God sees it fit, I pray I positively impact every life I'm ordained to. Keep your wits about you! God bless your people, God’s people be blessed! In Jesus' Name! Lord bless my efforts! ~ Amelia Renee’

By the grace of God, I have been on this earth for 30 years—30 whole years! The picture included in this post is from my first birthday. So much has happened in my life, but the greatest thing I've ever done is follow God with all my heart and soul. That's what makes these 30 years so whole, so full. The greatest thing that ever happened to me after following, loving, and honoring God is being blessed with the opportunity to be my husband’s wife and my children's mother. God heard my prayers, and my sweet little family is perfect. My husband is a rare gem who sees me for who I truly am and loves me more than any other human knows how. His patience and diligence for me are beyond compare. When I was a little girl, I would say my husband would be named Eric. When I first fell in love with my man, I didn't even know his name was Eric. He’s the lesson to speak things as thou they were, the reminder of how God kept a promise almost 20 years later to a little girl who had no idea she was prophesying over her own life. I praise God for 8 years with my handsome husband today; we went on our first date on July 9, 2017. I invited him to my birthday dinner first, but he was already going to ask me on a date for my birthday. We joined a church together a few weeks later. After I asked him to wait for me, he did; the rest is our history, our legacy. Then we got married and had our beautiful children. Each pregnancy, I fell deeper in love. Every day with my husband is a holiday. Every day is a reason to fall in love again and consciously walk further into eternity with someone you love beyond description. He’s my soulmate, best friend, confidante, roadie, and “my handsome man.” Watching each other raise our beautiful, sweet babies is the honor of my life. My children are the greatest! They are bright, beautiful, loving, sweet, kind, and courageous. Mommy can go on and on about my precious, sweet babies. My husband showed me how to be loved, and my children show me how to love. I never knew exactly how strong I was until I pushed those babies out. They are the driving force behind my healing and my fight to live, finish, and try. They have offered a new aspect of life, love, understanding, responsibility, and commitment that comes with birthing a soul. I am so grateful to be in my right mind to know how to love them. I pray constantly to understand how to cherish them. I pray I never traumatize them. I pray that we can parent them in ways that prepare them to conquer the world and still want to visit home sometimes. God has been so good to me! I can never thank my God enough for how good he has been to me. Life before my husband and children may not have always been the best, but I praise God it has not been the worst. I have lived a good life, although life has not always been good to me. I thank God that it has always been good for me! I share many pleasant memories, adventures, accomplishments, and truths. These 30 years, these 30 gracious years, these 10,958 days have made me a woman. But, not just any woman, a fierce woman of God, a loving and faithful wife, a caring and strong mother, and a human being I can be proud to be. Isaiah 43:1 says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are mine.” Thank you, Jesus, the past is gone! No more crying about whose I am; I am God’s! I am God’s daughter, God is my Father, God is my Mother, God is my friend, I am a friend of God’s. I walk into 30 years of life, forgiving what has passed and expecting more of God’s promises to come to fruition. I remain repentant, accountable, aware of my mistakes, yet willing to correct and be corrected. I'm not perfect, but I will stay honest and trustworthy. I am ready for God to do more of what he needs in me and through me. I am grateful for my health; I fought with my health, but God is winning! I’m ready to see more dreams come into fruition, but my most essential desires are to please God through serving and obeying Him, and to ensure the family God is creating through me and my husband live prosperous lives that please God! I tried to look back. God said Access denied because you can't possibly serve God by serving the things that no longer serve you. Ashley is my past; I may go by that name for legal and medical purposes at the moment, but God has done a new thing in me, to me, and for me. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” ‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬) Ashley is who I used to be, Amelia is who I am. God’s is whose I’ll forever be. Happy Birthday, Amelia, Love, You.
