Blazing Trails, Living True & Becoming Who You Were Called to Be With Eboni Monae
In this grounded and expansive conversation, Sherrita sits down with Eboni Monae, a Harvard PhD candidate, scientist-artist, and woman who has learned to honor every part of who she is. From her early fascination with space to becoming a developmental neurobiologist who describes her work as art, Eboni shares how she has learned to live true, move with intention, and step boldly into the calling God placed on her life.
Together, they explore identity, purpose, faith, and the future of work in the age of AI. Eboni opens up about navigating elite academic spaces, the pressure to perform, and the spiritual practices that keep her steady. The conversation also naturally weaves into the transformative practice of reflective journaling, which both women use as a tool for clarity, honesty, and spiritual alignment.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, check in with yourself, and consider what it means to live in alignment with who you were created to be.

Final Reflection
This episode is a reminder that becoming is not about striving it’s about alignment. It’s about honoring the fullness of who you are, trusting the path God is shaping in you, and releasing anything that requires you to shrink. Eboni’s story shows that sometimes the difficulty of the path is the clearest sign that you are blazing a trail that has never existed before.
