Resting in God’s Presence: What Stillness Taught Me

Leya Mnangagwa standing peacefully with eyes closed in golden light, resting in God's presence

Have you ever been forced to stop when everything in you wanted to keep going? For the past few weeks I have been unusually quiet online, and some of you noticed. The truth is, resting in God’s presence was not something I chose in a calm, unhurried season. It found me in the middle of […]

Children Who Know God: A Mother’s Prayer for Her Daughters

What does it take to raise children who know God, not just children who know about Him? That question followed me through a month of prayer and reflection, until it settled into words on this page. As a mother of four daughters, from my eldest at fourteen to my youngest not yet four, I am […]

Pray and Watch: The Full Story Behind Her Secret Place

the prayer circle at the first Her Secret Place retreat.

Some of the words I write most often are simple: pray and watch. They started as a phrase. Over the years they became a testimony, and eventually a foundation for something I never planned to build. If you read Part 1 of this story, Secret Place of Prayer, you already know where the seed was […]

Secret Place of Prayer: The Story Before the Ministry

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1, NKJV). I have known that verse most of my life. I did not always understand what it would come to mean for me. Long before there was a retreat, a gathering, or a ministry […]

Walking in Obedience: Lessons from the Visionary Summit

Walking in obedience does not always feel brave in the moment. Most times, it feels like fear standing beside you as you say yes anyway. That is what June 2026 held for me. I was invited to join the Visionary African Women Summit in Zambia, not as a moderator this time, but as a panellist […]

Service, Faith and Restoration: A Day in Nyazura and Little Kraal Prison

There is a particular quality of clarity that comes when you choose to go, not because it is convenient, but because you have been called. That is what faith-led service feels like in practice. It is rarely grand. More often, it is a long drive, a dusty road, and a community of people whose needs […]

Doing It Afraid: What Miss Universe Zimbabwe Taught Me About Faith

Faith over fear is easy to say. It is another thing entirely to live it out in a room full of people who have no idea you nearly said no. This past weekend, I had the honour of serving as a judge for Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2026. If I am being honest, it was not […]

We Are Our Sisters’ Keeper: What the Women’s Run Taught Me About Wellness

Hundreds of women celebrating together at the Her Miles Women's Run, a powerful moment of women's wellness community in Zimbabwe

This past weekend, I stood among hundreds of women at the inaugural Women’s Run hosted by Her Miles by Hype Nation — and I left a different person. Women’s wellness community is a phrase I have used often. After that day, I understood it differently. Wellness Without Limits had the privilege of being the headline […]

Walking Faithfully Through the Corridor of Fashion.

For those who may not know, I used to model. I stepped away from that world eventually, but my love for faith and fashion never really left. Not because of trends, labels, or luxury. Because the way we present ourselves can quietly shape the way we feel about ourselves. This post is a reflection on […]

Access Becomes Impact: Our CSR Approach at Arimah

Leya Mnangagwa hands a book to a smiling student at a community visit, an example of purposeful business leadership in action.

Purposeful business leadership begins with a question I keep returning to: what do we have, and who else could it serve? At Arimah Travel and Tours, this question shapes how we think about corporate social responsibility. CSR for us is not a separate initiative. It is part of how we understand our role in society, […]
