Mental Health Counselor,

Toya has been one of my closest friends, prayer partner, confidant, and greatest support in every aspect of my life. Toya has been a great source of inspiration and guidance to me. We spend a lot of time in prayer. She’s also an amazing jewelry and accessory designer. I’ve had the privilege of wearing some of her jewelry and let me tell you, her pieces are beautiful, exquisite, well-designed, and one-of-a-kind collections.

Toya: I will start with this scripture proverbs 17:17 a friend loves at all times. When Arthelene and I met in 2005 it was a God-ordained sister-love relationship that ended up in a trustworthy friendship and we both accepted the friendship. Arthelene has an inviting, loving, caring, and compassionate spirit that touched my heart. She is one of my friends who also encouraged me to be everything that God wants me to be and to encourage me to fulfill my purpose. She believed in the power of faith and the power of agreement. In our friendship, She is one that esteems me highly than herself, as I esteem her more highly than myself. She is a joy to be around and has the spirit of laughter that can be contagious. I am able to share with her my feelings and my thoughts with no judgmental statement. She always responds with prayer. I love all these things about her and one of the attributes that I love the most is that she does love at all times. Not only is she my sister in Christ but she is truly my friend.
