Sarah Jakes Roberts is the beautiful daughter of bishop T.D. Jakes. Although she had a rough start, she is now a famous media personality, ministry leader, and businesswoman.
The Jakes family has been dedicating their lives to God for years, and Sarah is no different. In fact, she and her dad,
Bishop T.D. Jakes , are similar in more ways than one.
[Sarah's] teen pregnancy felt like "the worst thing in the world."

God blessed me with a King who runs his world and still covers the world of his queen.
When we were headed to Detroit one of our buses blew a tire. We had to leave it on the side of the road and pile up in the remaining buses. We got to the city 4 hours late. The city was expecting 8 inches of snow. Our amazing team of 40 worked overtime to set the lights, instruments, and sound. Then a cord was unplugged and all the settings erased.
I was on edge. I wondered if we should keep going. I wondered if anyone would come.
He left my dressing room, found the darkest corner of the theater, and prayed throughout the entire building.
Suddenly the settings were restored, the team reenergized, and I remembered if only one woman came we’d rock Detroit upside down. 3K+ women came out and we gave Detroit all that we had.
One of the most impressive aspects of her career is that she has been doing all that while raising four children and keeping a loving marriage with her husband, Touré Roberts.
Having a family and a career at the same time is exactly what Women Evolve is about: a national conference and movement focused on helping women shatter "glass ceilings" that prevent them from growing and changing the world.

SARAH'S TEEN PREGNANCY AND SCRUTINY
While Sarah's career is nothing short of amazing, she had to endure some difficulties throughout her life to be who she is nowadays. The first one came when she became a mother at 14 years old .
Most teen moms are judged, but the fact that Sarah was the daughter of a famous preacher made it even more challenging. She once admitted to feeling like "the black sheep of America's favorite preacher."

Apart from that, Sarah felt isolated and needed years to learn how to endure the rumors and gossip about her. She eventually learned that while there might be people who love to gossip, there are also people who pray for her and her family.
Sarah's pregnancy was an issue for T.D. Jakes, as well. He even said that being a minister and dealing with his daughter's teen pregnancy felt like "the worst thing in the world ."
Bishop Jakes then admitted that the struggles and crushing experiences in one's life are what makes them strong and resistant.

Dad,
You’ve been a consistent presence in my life. Holding me through every joy and every pain. I thought it was just because you’re a great dad, but I know now it’s because you’re just a great man. Thank you for not just staying, but showing up.
You are one of my greatest friends. Thank you for making me laugh. Giving me direction. Inspiring me to keep stretching and always always opening your arms wide to hold me tight.
I love you to the moon and back. Happy Birthday to @bishopjakes the first king my heart got to hold. 👑 ❤️
When Sarah was 19, she found love and married for the first time. The lucky one was former NFL player Robert Henson. One year later, she gave birth to her second son.
Unfortunately, Sarah Jakes Roberts made headlines again when she was 23 years old due to her highly-publicized divorce. At that point, she realized that she only
had two choices : she could either settle or evolve.

It’s been a tough week and I haven’t felt very tough. But I woke up this morning feeling focused to bring my A-game and to crush anything standing in my way.
I’m praying that you would confidently occupy your space in the world with determination to make it better. There’s no such things as “I’m just ______ and can’t make a change.”
Anywhere you’re positioned there’s an opportunity for impact. Take the time you need to center yourself and settle your mind. Then share your wisdom, perspectives, love, humor, passion, art, etc.
We need you now more than ever! Drop me a 👊🏾 if you’re with me.
SARAH JAKES ROBERTS' EVOLUTION
In an attempt to release some of her pain and also to try to help other women avoid the issues that she went through, she started blogging.
Three months later, and even though she chose not to use the Jakes' last name, her blog attracted a lot of attention. Sarah
confessed:
"I realized that I was creating a life that people would accept […] and [had a chance to be] transparent about who I was and what I had been through."
