Hey loves!

My name is Awa [Ayesha] and I’m a choreographer, entrepreneur, and creative director - and well, also the author of this prayer book.

How did I go from all of that to writing a prayer book, you ask?

I wrote “Hey God, It’s Me” because I needed this book myself.

For years, I struggled with depression, anxiety, heartbreak, and feeling lost in my faith.

There were times when prayer felt like a struggle, and I didn’t know what to say.

But through it all, I learned that God doesn’t require perfect prayers—

He just wants us to come to Him as we are.

This book was born out of my own healing journey. I decided to write my prayers out when I was facing homelessness, unemployment, heartbreak, grievance and so much more and I had nowhere else to turn. It helped me turn my pain into purpose, my doubts into faith, and my fears into trust. Every page reflects the prayers that carried me through my darkest days and the reflections that helped me see God’s hand in my life.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re struggling alone, know that this book was written for you.
