    Virtual Book Tour By Latoya Jackson-Tulloch“Transforming lives, one conversation at a time.”1. Introduction Hello and welcome!My name is Latoya Jackson-Tulloch, and I am so honored to be here with you today as part of this incredible virtual book tour. I’m a published author, ministry leader, worship minister, and speaker—based in beautiful Jamaica, but with a heart that beats for the nations. I’m also the founder of I Speak Life Ministries, whose tagline is “Transforming lives, one conversation at a time”. This is a space dedicated to helping others find healing, hope, and purpose through the power of faith and storytelling. I'm passionate about equipping people to walk boldly on purpose, heal from past wounds, and pursue intimacy with God. Whether you’re just meeting me or have followed my journey, I pray something in this conversation stirs you.2. Background Information (Approx. 4–5 minutes)I grew up in rural Jamaica in a district called New Market, and I went to the Beersheba All Age school and then on to the Black River High School. I am currently pursuing a 1st Degree at the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean in the area of Applied Psychology. I have always told myself that nothing in life is easy to get. Therefore I push against the odds at all times. Life wasn’t always easy. We didn’t always have electricity or running water while growing up. But it was these difficult times that has instilled an appreciation for the little things in life. From an early age, I felt the pull of God’s hand on my life. I got baptised at the age of 11 and have dedicated my life to the service of the Lord since then. I would often write little stories and prayers in notebooks—never realizing that one day I’d become a published author encouraging others. I’ve worn many hats over the years: student, mentor, mother, minister, friend. And all of these roles have added layers to my calling. I remember reading novels and using my imagination to take me to places in those books. I would use the light of the home-sweet-home lamp to read my books as we didn't yet have electricity. My mother left a large suitcase of books because she was an avid reader like me. I usually took one day to finish one book, sitting down and only moving when nature called or when granny said that i had to do something in the house. During my life I have faced rejection at every phase that I can remember…and this rejection crippled my progress for a very long time. I was afraid to step out because of fear of not being good enough. But when God has his hand on a person, it does not matter what mountain stands before them, it has to eventually move. I am very thankful for God ordained destiny helpers who have encouraged, pushed and motivated me. One of the life-changing experiences that I faced was when I went blind temporarily due to preeclampsia during childbirth. That moment tested everything I believed—and yet, it also gave birth to deeper trust, clearer vision, and greater purpose. Out of that season came a book that will soon be published entitled “Lessons in Trusting God: When I Lost My Sight.” My life has been a mix of trials and triumphs—but through it all, God has been faithful.3. Writing Journey I never set out to become an author. I was simply journaling through pain and processing life. I remember in high school I would write stories and my teachers would be so amazed. All I did was write based on the theme that was given. With a very overactive imagination, it was easy to coin a story in minutes. I started writing poems from I was a teenager expressing my feelings and using my writings as an outlet for the myriad of painful experiences that I would go through. But over time, those private pages became public testimonies. I realized there were people like me—women, leaders, believers—sitting in silence, battling rejection, abuse, shame, stagnation, or spiritual dryness. I knew I had to speak up.My first book that I wrote which will be published soon is entitled, “Get Up and Go! No More Delays,” and this was born out of a personal struggle with procrastination and fear. This book contains some of the poems that I wrote from I was a child. I realized I had been sitting on my gifts for too long, waiting for the "perfect time." Through scripture, prayer, and bold action, I wrote that book not just for others—but for myself too. I know that when it is published it will help many persons to move out of delay. Let's talk about the book that has been published: “From Ruins to Revival: A Call to Intense Prayer and Intimacy with God.” This book was born in a season of deep intercession and divine confrontation. I was asked to preach at church and when I went before the Lord, the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel was what he highlighted to me. You see, there are times when we have placed other gods before the true and living God. we have allowed others to lead us away from the ...

    Interview on Writer's Core Podcast Latoya Jackson-Tulloch

    My name is Latoya Jackson-Tulloch and I am an author, worship minister, intercessor, Mother of 2 and Wife of One.I grew up in rural Jamaica in a district called New Market, and I went to the Beersheba All Age school and then on to the Black River High School. I am currently pursuing a 1st Degree at the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean in the area of Applied Psychology. I grew up with my grandmother and got saved at age 11. Most of my life I have been in church serving in the capacities of Praise and Worship, choir, Women’s Ministry, Preaching, Intercession, planning and writing different pieces for Meditation, plays and Poetry Night.1. Can you share your inspiration behind your specific book and how the idea came to fruition?The book was written based on the story in 1 Kings 18 I saw a lack in the church, where we stopped seeking God the way that we used to and the power that used to be evident in the church was no longer there. I started doing my research and out of this along with a request to speak at church one sunday came the word “Rebuild the Altar. Elijah on Mount Carmel calling a nation back to God - Jezebel and AhabChurch had stopped prayingI had stopped seekingInternal battles (overworked, dealing with rejection)2. How does your personal background or experiences influence the themes and characters in your writing?So even though this is the first book published, this is not the only thing that i am working on.I am working on a book called Ms Jus Granddaughter, where i highlight stories of life growing up in Rural Jamaica. Stories about helping grandma to move the cow, to plant the fields, market day, water day, walking to school and church life. Now the characters in this story would be shaped by my personal background, my experiences and these would definitely influence the themes in that book.Most of my writings are influenced by the experiences that I have gone through over the years. Most times this is how the Lord deals with me…through the experiences and then i am prompted to put them in either poetry form or a story.I grew up in rural Jamaica, where faith, family, and community were central. Those early experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, struggle, and spiritual heritage. My journey—especially my moments of loss, including the traumatic experience of temporary blindness and deep rejection—deeply influences my writing. You won’t find fictional characters in From Ruins to Revival, but you will find my heart, my wounds, and my restoration journey reflected throughout. Every theme—like rebuilding, repentance, and intimacy with God—was lived before it was written. (Get up and Go my personal experience has influenced what i wrote)3. What challenges did you face during the writing process, and how did you overcome them?Self doubt/What am i writing, does it make sense/will anyone read my bookTime constraint/Balancing work/church/family/school/marriageOne of the greatest challenges was emotional vulnerability. Writing a book like this meant revisiting some very painful seasons of my life. There were moments I had to pause and simply weep before God. Another challenge was balancing writing with all my other responsibilities—ministry, work, family. But I overcame it through disciplined time in prayer, accountability, and sheer obedience to the call. God gave grace for every moment I wanted to quit.4. Are there any particular authors or books that have significantly influenced your writing style or storytelling approach?Valentine RodneyNicholas RobertsonT.D. JakesStormie OmartianDefinitely. Authors like Stormie Omartian and Priscilla Shirer have influenced my approach to spiritual writing—balancing scriptural depth with relatable experience. I also admire T.D. Jakes for his transparent yet empowering voice. On the literary side, I draw from the narrative depth of Caribbean writers who capture our culture with authenticity. I try to weave all of that into a voice that feels both grounded and prophetic.5. Can you discuss the significance of the title of your book and how it encapsulates the essence of your work?A life without the hand of God will result in ruins. A nation that moves from the direction of following God’s voice to following idols will end up in ruins.When the place of prayer is broken down, your life will end up in ruins because the place from which you make decisions will be that of self and there is no voice of God to lead you.This book is a call to come back to the presence of the Lord. So often we wander away…sometimes without us realising.When we have realised, we feel as though we have gone too far. But he is reminding us that we can come back to him. The prodigal son went away, but then he came back to his senses…and returned home.Many have been wandering in the dark, unsure of where they are going…but if you would turn around and head back to his presence, you will see your life being transformed as soon as you begin the ...
