1. What inspired you to let girls and teens lead this next chapter of Kingdom BOSS Chick?
Kingdom BOSS Chick was never meant to stop with women; it was always about legacy. As I mentored and discipled girls and teens, I realized they weren’t waiting for permission to lead; they were waiting for space. I felt a deep responsibility to not just teach them about faith, leadership, and purpose, but to invite them into authorship and ownership. Letting girls and teens lead this next chapter was an intentional act of trust, trusting God, trusting the process, and trusting the next generation to carry truth forward with boldness.

2. How does The Feminine Imprint expand on the original Kingdom BOSS Chick: Blueprint?
Kingdom BOSS Chick: Blueprint laid the foundation. It cracked the code by revealing how women in the Bible, leaders, entrepreneurs, intercessors, and trailblazers such as Rahab, Lydia, Priscilla, Huldah, and Phoebe, modeled Belief, Obedience, Spirit, and Sacrifice. Their lives showed us that Kingdom principles have always been the blueprint for leadership, influence, and impact across business, ministry, and society.

The Feminine Imprint is what happens when that blueprint is placed into the hands of the next generation. In KBC2, girls and teens study biblical women such as Esther, Ruth, Mary, Deborah, and Leah, not just to learn their stories, but to see themselves in them. This Bible Study moves from learning the model to living it. It shifts from instruction to embodiment, from preparation to practice.

Where Blueprint taught women how to build, The Feminine Imprint empowers girls to leave their mark. It affirms that today’s girls are not meant to be carbon copies of culture, but bold Kingdom carriers, rooted in identity, anchored in their faith, and courageous enough to translate timeless biblical principles into real-life leadership, purpose, and impact in a world that is constantly trying to redefine them.

3. Why was it important to address issues like identity, mental health, and belonging in this devotional?
Because these are not abstract topics, they are real battles our girls are fighting every single day, often in silence. Identity confusion, anxiety, comparison, pressure to perform, and the deep desire to belong are shaping how girls see themselves long before adulthood. If we are not intentionally addressing these issues, our girls will either suffer quietly or learn how to navigate them from the world’s perspective, a perspective that often distorts truth, minimizes worth, and normalizes brokenness.

These are not ‘small’ issues. They carry real emotions, real consequences, and real risk. When left unaddressed, they can turn into traumatic life experiences that shape how a girl sees herself, her relationships, her faith, and her future. Ignoring these topics would be irresponsible.

By addressing them through Scripture, storytelling, and reflection, this devotional creates a safe and sacred space for girls to process what they’re feeling through a biblical lens. It reminds them that God is present in every part of their story, not just the polished parts, but the messy, confusing, and vulnerable ones too. The Feminine Imprint affirms that faith is not separate from real life; it is meant to guide, heal, and anchor girls in truth as they grow.

4. What stood out to you most while watching these girls step into authorship and leadership?
Their courage. These girls didn’t shy away from the assignment; they embraced it, even when it stretched them. What many don’t see is the journey behind the confidence. Over the course of five weeks, they committed to learning how to truly study the Bible under the guidance of Minister and Bible teacher Ocielia Sprowl. They didn’t just read Scripture; they learned how to ask questions, sit with the text, wrestle with meaning, and allow God’s Word to speak into their own lives.

In addition to biblical study, they participated in multiple sessions of character development, reflection, and writing with me. They learned how to translate faith into words, how to tell their stories with honesty, and how to lead from authenticity rather than perfection. Watching them grow, from hesitant to bold, from unsure to confident, was powerful.

What stood out most was how naturally leadership emerged once they were given permission, structure, and support. They didn’t try to imitate adults or perform for approval; they led as themselves. Their courage wasn’t loud; it was rooted. And that kind of leadership is exactly what the world needs.

5. How do the biblical women featured in Kingdom BOSS Chick continue to guide this movement today?
The women of the Bible are the original trailblazers. Their lives remind us that leadership has always existed in God’s design for women and girls. From Deborah’s courage to Lydia’s business acumen, to Priscilla’s teaching, these women show us that faith and influence go hand in hand. Their stories continue to guide this movement by proving that purpose transcends time and that obedience can shift generations.

6. What does ‘The Feminine Imprint’ represent to you personally?
Personally, The Feminine Imprint represents obedience fulfilled. It is the visible evidence of discipleship in motion. This book was not created to sit on a shelf, it was designed to reach girls far beyond this moment, far beyond this group, and far beyond what we can see.

Through this Bible study and devotional, girls are invited into a personal and intimate relationship with God. They are not just learning about Scripture; they are learning how to engage with God for themselves, how to pray, reflect, wrestle with truth, and hear His voice in their everyday lives. As this book reaches more girls, it creates a ripple effect of faith, confidence, and identity rooted in Christ.

The Feminine Imprint represents hope; hope that girls will know who they are before the world tells them who to be, hope that they will be grounded in truth, and hope that they will grow into women who carry their faith with confidence, clarity, and courage.

7. How does this book help girls resist society’s pressure and walk boldly in faith?
This book gives girls language for what they’re feeling and truth for what they’re facing. It equips them with Scripture, reflection, and real-life application so they can discern culture without being consumed by it. When girls understand their identity in Christ, pressure loses its power. Faith becomes their anchor, not their accessory.

8. Why do you call this project a movement, not just a book?
Because books inform, but movements transform. This project isn’t just about pages; it’s about people. It’s about raising confident, grounded, faith-filled girls who know how to think, pray, lead, and stand. It’s about generational connection, women walking with girls, girls rising with purpose. That’s a movement.

9. What message do you hope parents and mentors take away from this project?
That our girls are capable, ready, and worthy of responsibility and leadership now. When parents and mentors create safe spaces, speak life, and partner with purpose, girls rise. This project is a reminder that we don’t have to wait until adulthood to invest deeply; discipleship starts early.

10. What is your one hope or prayer for every girl who reads this book?
My prayer is that she would know, deep in her spirit, that she is not alone, not forgotten, and not behind. I pray she discovers her voice, heeds the voice of God and trusts God’s plan.

11. Is there anything else you would like to share?
Yes, this book is proof that when girls are seen, supported, and spiritually grounded, they rise beyond expectations. The future is not something we wait for; it’s something we prepare for, and these girls are preparing.

About the book:
KBC 2: The Feminine Imprint was written by girls and teens, ages 12–17, who are ready to take the blueprint and make their bold Kingdom imprint. Zoe and the other young authors accepted and embraced a journey many might shy away from. Their “yes” to this assignment is nothing short of bold and courageous, and their voices now carry the power to inspire and lead their generation. This devotional and Bible study invites them—and every reader—to confront the real-life battles girls face today: self-esteem, friendships, relationships, mental health, purpose, identity, and belonging, all through the lens of God’s truth. Here, readers discover the same biblical blueprints that equipped women in Scripture to lead, create, build, and influence.
