Who I am
01. A Woman In Ministry
Hi, I’m Demetria Gilkey — preacher, author, and inspirational speaker with a heart for helping women rediscover their dreams, embrace reinvention, and live fully in Christ. My ministry focuses on guiding hearts toward healing, forgiveness, and a life rooted in joy, faith, and purpose.
For years, I pursued success on my own terms — from corporate life to owning and operating a salon — yet something was still missing. It wasn’t until I fully surrendered my plans to God that I experienced true peace, clarity, and alignment. That turning point reshaped not only my faith but also my calling, showing me how God can transform detours and setbacks into stepping stones toward your purpose.
Today, I use my voice to share life-giving messages that point people back to Christ, emphasizing forgiveness, restoration, and wholehearted faith. With master’s degrees in Theology and Mass Communications, I am passionate about communicating God’s truth in ways that are both biblically grounded and deeply relatable.
02. Author & Speaker
Through my books, devotionals, and speaking engagements, I share messages designed to help women rediscover their dreams, embrace reinvention, and step boldly into the life God has planned for them. My goal is to encourage hearts, strengthen faith, and bring hope, healing, and practical tools for pursuing purpose and living fully.
Whether teaching from Scripture or sharing real-life experiences — from setbacks, rejection, and unexpected detours to breakthroughs and fulfilled dreams — my messages are rooted in faith and delivered with warmth, honesty, and joy. I aim to meet people where they are, offering encouragement and reminders that healing, renewal, and living your God-given dreams are possible in every season of life.
03. Dream & Reinvention Coach
As a Dream & Reinvention Coach, I help women rediscover their dreams, overcome setbacks, and step boldly into the life God has designed for them. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back, replace limiting beliefs with faith-filled confidence, and create a clear path to pursue your goals and purpose. My coaching blends practical strategies, mindset tools, and encouragement, so you can not only think differently but live fully, embrace reinvention, and achieve the dreams you’ve been waiting for.
04. Mom, Wife, & Encourager
I’m a wife, mom, and lifelong encourager who loves helping others navigate life’s challenges with faith, hope, and grace. Friends and family often call on me for advice, prayer, or simply a listening ear, and I’ve found joy in being a peacemaker and source of support in difficult seasons.
Everyday life — from family moments to friendships and community connections — is where I practice the same principles I share on stage and in my writings: joy, encouragement, healing, and restoration through Christ. My goal is to show that God’s love and guidance are not just for special occasions, but for every season of life, big or small.
