Interview Summary with Biblical References
Turning Point to Faith.
Though born into a Christian home, Creative Dee marks her true salvation to a moment when her sister prayed for her, leading to a spontaneous baptism of the Holy Ghost. That experience opened her heart to God’s Word, messages, and deeper devotion. It became less about routine and more about personal revelation. Her journey echoes John 6:44, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.”
What was your entrance into writing?
Creative Dee didn’t plan to be a writer. It began with a divine nudge—an impression to “start writing”. She asked God what to write and was told, “Write what I tell you.” This obedience birthed the ‘Creativity Dee’ Substack. Her awareness that she’s a “co-writer” with God mirrors 1 Corinthians 3:9—“For we are co-workers in God’s service.” Her style was rough at first, but she knew God had an assignment for her through writing.
How have you managed to be consistent with writing and everything else on your plate?
Balancing school, writing, and leading a Substack community hasn’t been easy. She recounts drafting in class, writing on buses, and even on roadside curbs. Her discipline is laced with grace, not perfectionism. Colossians 3:23 captures this heart—“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” It’s been a journey of stewarding the gift and leaning on God.
What do you want your writing to do for people?
Creative Dee doesn't fixate on likes or shares. Her joy comes when readers say, “This answered my heart’s question.” She sees her writing as an act of service, aiming to reach those God sends to her. Like Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:2, she avoids manipulation and focuses on sincerity before God. Her lens is not engagement metrics but spiritual fruit.
Does journaling help you?
Yes, profoundly. Journaling has helped her trace God’s voice and faithfulness over time. Whether it's about people, Scripture, or prophetic words, journaling helps her stay grounded. Psalm 77:11 comes to life in her practice—“I will remember the deeds of the Lord.” It's not just emotional processing but spiritual memory-keeping.
Do you think encouragement is a gift?
Absolutely. Creative Dee sees encouragement as a God-given mandate. She uses words to lift others, much like Isaiah 50:4—“The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary.” Her posts gently restore, not reprimand. This pastoral heart is intentional, reflecting Jesus’ gentle yet powerful communication style.
How do you choose who to subscribe to or read from?
She curates her Substack intake based on values: growth, spirituality, excellence and purpose. She’s not swayed by the “follow-for-follow” culture. Philippians 4:8 guides her lens: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble...think on these things.” Her standard is growth, not clout.
What’s your relationship with feedback or criticism?
It’s a work in progress. She admits that harsh tones in feedback used to affect her deeply, but she’s learning to separate tone from truth. Proverbs 27:6: “Wounds from a friend can be trusted” anchors her heart. Criticism, for her, is not rejection but refining. And one must ultimately work on the feedback they get from others.
Do you think your writing has spilled into other expressions?
Yes. From Instagram quotes to a Spotify playlist and her free book, The Artist and His Work of Art, Creative Dee sees obedience in writing as the seed that bore multiple expressions. Like the faithful servant in Matthew 25:21, she’s stewarding her talents across platforms.
What are you seeing long-term?
She’s not rushing but discerning. While new expressions might come, she’s keen on making sure God leads the way. Hebrews 11:8, It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home, reflects her journey—walking without knowing all the details but fully trusting the One who calls.
