Hello! My name is Niomi Ayoyna Speight (aka Ayoyna). I have created this site because I have once needed someone in my corner cheering me on. I know what living in fear of rejection feels like; I know what it is like to be heartbroken; I understand what it is like to feel defeated, unlovable, and more. However, words have had a huge impact on my life. Now, I hope to use words to change your life and cheer you on. On GrittynFree, we will be serious about overcoming the lies we think about ourselves for the truth of God's word and letting that charge us to face every day as empowered royalty.
