When Clifton Ross Jr. and Kiyanni Bryan first met at a Black Christian Influencers event, they immediately connected like family despite coming from different worlds. Now, in this soul-stirring conversation, they dive deep into the delicate balance of building purpose while raising children.

Kiyanni shares her remarkable journey from banking executive to clinical program manager and entrepreneur, revealing how her publishing company was born from her own struggles as an author. With refreshing candor, she discusses the challenges of single motherhood while pursuing her calling: "I was thinking that since I was at every game, every practice, I was fulfilling something... but later discovered my daughter felt like a 'preacher's kid' who saw ministry take the front seat."

This conversation delivers powerful wisdom about creating proper infrastructure for your purpose. Kiyanni emphasizes that purpose is not instant revelation but an ongoing pursuit that requires character alongside competency. She challenges listeners to examine whether they're building with God or merely asking Him to bless what He never ordained: "We've built in His name and gathered in His name and not even invited Him to the party."

The most touching moments come when discussing how children actually refine our purpose rather than distract from it. While Kiyanni’s mother taught her to pray, motherhood transformed her into an intercessor—someone who strategically battles against spiritual forces targeting loved ones. This distinction revolutionizes how we view the integration of family and calling.
