Christ & Creativity: How True Sisterhood Was Built BY MATIA JOHNSON-BUGGS Significant others. Children and career lives. Businesses that we are passionate about one day, and the next day we want out of it. These topics are just specks in the grand scheme of conversations had by myself and my CEO besties, Agnes Erskine and Valerie Dix. What started at a social gathering five years ago has led into a full fledged sisterhood with nothing short of prayer calls and intercession, and what entrepreneur wouldn’t be in need of these things? In such a microwave society where entrepreneurs are juggling branding and personal lives, it’s good when a girl has support in the form of two souls. What could be more beneficial? There’s one particular bible scripture that comes to mind when I think about the power in numbers, and this one has always stuck with me. Matthew 18:20 (Amplified Version) reads,
“For where two or three
are gathered in My name [meeting together as My followers], I am there among them.”
When I focus on the power of developing Godly friendships, the power in sisterhood when two or three women who love God come together and pray in His name, glorify in His name, what could be more powerful than that? In this unique form of friendship, this is where true sisterhood develops and strengthens at the very core. Now let me brag a bit on how awesome these women really are: 26 | IMM Magazine

Her current brand, Sexy and Saved, is a two-part fold Christian apparel line and social platform that pegs the question, “What should a Christian woman look like?” and Agnes is more than happy to challenge the normal stereotype.
