Brown Girl in Christ

Hi, I am so glad you are here! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I'm King Alvarado, a single mother of two beautiful children, Ian, 8 and Kennedy, 5. They're absolutely brilliant, hilariously challenging & my greatest joy. I love our happy family! Newly divorced, I recently moved from New Orleans, LA to Clarksville, TN in 2017; it was a huge change and culture shock that sent me reeling. Since March of 2016 life has been whirlwind of fun, heartache, challenge, success, joy, laughter, growth and revelation on every level imaginable and God's not finished yet. After months of mulling it over and talking about it with my inner circle, I decided to share with the world my universal experiences, all from a point of view that I like to call, Joie Noire.

Here's to hoping my stories and experiences will touch, encourage and bless each and every reader. 
​
AQNK divulges my personal experiences as a Christ follower, woman of faith & mother, and how I learn more about healthy expressions of self-love, all from the perspective of a black woman, hence, Joie Noire . Don't be dismayed, there is something around here for women from all walks of life. And I encourage you to cross the lines of your comfort zones and check out a little bit of everything! Happy reading!

​

 Grace and peace,

King
