## Resource

At 12 years old BB got caught with her best friend. They weren't allowed to see each other anymore. That's when she started using drugs. Living a life that went against who she really was made authentic living impossible. Then as a pastor the gay community kept coming through her recovery ministry. Her pastor wanted her to make them straight. She couldn't figure that one out. Then a woman from her ministry overdosed and died. BB officiated her funeral. And God said reconcile my people. She started a support group in her living room. Forty people showed up. She sued the state of Mississippi over anti-LGBT discrimination laws and won locally. Lost at the Supreme Court. Started the queer church. Our triggers show us where our cracks are. Know thyself and balance your energy. Takeaways: Living a life that contradicts who you really are creates wounds that need somewhere to go — for BB that was a 17 year drug addiction The pastor asking BB to minister to gay people was unknowingly asking her to look herself in the mirror Every person you help heal from a wound you survived yourself is the wound becoming medicine Suing the state of Mississippi as a pastor over anti-LGBT discrimination laws is Mars in the 9th house — beliefs under fire Our triggers show us where our cracks are — the friction in your life is pointing directly at the work that needs to be done BB's Tiktok BB's Facebook .
