Forty Years of Words
in the Making

Dr. Jeanetta D. Sims began writing poetry at age 13 in Chandler, Oklahoma. Inspired by a love of Maya Angelou, she holds a deep belief that words, chosen carefully, can voice what a heart is challenged to hold.

Forty years and a Hall-of-Fame career later, she brings her inaugural book of poetry and prose to women of faith who know what it is to grieve quietly, lead courageously, and wonder if God still sees them in the in-between.

When My Soul Needs Refuge is the first volume in the Moments in Soul-Journ Series—an ongoing collection of poetry and prose for every season of a woman's journey with God.

  • To offer hope through words that do not flinch
    For women who are tired of being told to move on before they have been allowed to grieve
  • To call for change in how women lead and live
    Drawing on 30+ years in higher education, corporate, and nonprofit settings
  • To celebrate faithfulness in the ordinary and the pivotal
    Honoring the daily journey of a Christian mother, wife, scholar, and leader
  • To unleash the genius God placed in every woman who reads
    Walking alongside women who seek purpose, renewal and a higher calling using the 3-Ls Framework: Loss · Leadership · Legacy

Loss & Grief

Honest, tender words for the woman who is navigating the death of a loved one, a dream, or a season of life she loved and had to leave.

Leadership & Legacy

Poems that challenge women to lead with the impeccability their calling demands and to build work that outlasts their tenure.

Race & Resilience

Unflinching verse on navigating the tense moments of U.S. race relations with dignity, endurance, and an unshaken sense of worth.

Faith & Faithfulness

Devotional prose for women who are trusting God's genius even when the path is unclear and the silence feels long.

Relationships & Love

Intimate reflections on friendship, motherhood, and the complex bonds that shape a woman's soul and define her legacy.

Career & Calling

Words for the woman navigating ambition alongside faith and family—and refusing to suppress, shrink, or settle for less than God designed.
