Firstly, it is my greatest honour to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything I have and owe came as an additional blessing from God. I am a public speaker, Radio host/presenter, I use my Podcast to give others voice on issues that no one wants to speak about in our communities, Inspirational Hour on UGN JAMZ Radio station.

All that and More but my joy is being mother to my beautiful children; Mona, Angel, TJ (Anthony JR) Moses and Tailey Trey and a wife to my wonderful husband Mr Christabell L. Peters.
I was born in liberia Monrovia to the late Mr Moses Toe and Rebecca Vleyee in 1980. During the civil war in Liberia, at the age of 9 went to Ghana where she studied at Swiss International school.

I was awarded a doctorate from the Universal Peace Federation for my Humanitarian and charitable Work with Persons with Albinism. My charity has 30 young people in schools and we support their families to get jobs, housing and open their businesses.
My business Rising Star Day Care LTD provides childcare for children 0-5 years old and I am a member of All FaithNetwork in support of peace with different faith groups across the UK and MPs working with the government to establish stabilities and awareness of faith groups. We as a team have written a book.
I use my experiences as a woman who survived domestic violence to educate and support women all over the globe under the umbrella of Women Worship Gospel Music Award powered by, Restored To Ignite Ministry International. We educate through conferences, Worship experiences, to reach the unreachable and the less privileged in our communities.
I am an activist in the communities for young women supporting each other.

In my spare time, I watch Korean dramas, listen to the news, read books, and take care of her 5 children if not working on policies and public speaking on issues that matter.
On the 10th of February 2023, I auditioned for the movie about the 6888 US female soldiers that came to the UK during the 1940’s by Tyler Perry Movie for Netflix. It was a great experience and a presence to behold.
How this empowered women to have a voice and believe in themselves.
Moto: Empower on Woman, Empower all..
I had the revelation to start a worship programme with women with topics to heal and worship but I thought what do I give them to remember how far they have come? That’s where Women Worship Gospel music Awards and other disciplines was born.
The Women Worship Gospel Music Awards (WWGMA) was founded by Apst. Dr. Precious Toe and is more than an awards show. It is a message. It is an empowerment movement. WWGMA looks beyond the popular voices, popular branding, popular artists and picks out the ones who have been hidden, ignored, segregated, unpopular, and always in the background! We pick women out from the back and bring them to the forefront.
Think about a relay race, the most crucial part of the race is what happens in the exchange zone. It doesn’t matter how fast you run, if the baton is dropped during the race, then nothing else matters. It is game over. But when the runner crosses the line, it isn't based on one person but depends on those who have run before. Our motto is: empower one woman, empower all women. By honouring one woman, another woman is empowered.
A woman who is still standing somewhere overlooked, will push even more. It gives another woman hope and the motivation to answer the call over their life that they've probably been resisting for so long. For another woman, it’s an emphasis, that even when nobody celebrates People of Faith Raising Above COVID-19 them, heaven always is. So going back to the relay race illustration, as the trophy is being passed to one woman, it is a reminder that united as one, we can run together and make a bigger impact. It is not for us alone, but to pass on the wisdom, gifts, knowledge, experiences, to our generation and the generation coming after us and any other person who is awaiting that baton so they can run their own race.
The baton is a reminder of God’s faithfulness and that we are not here for self. As worshippers, as we live a lifestyle of worship, we are here to sow the seed of true and proper worship to those after us: blessed to be a blessing. We are all many functions in one body. Hence, every year for the past five years, we have celebrated, supported, and impacted many women and the younger generation into their careers pathways through education, jobs, housing opportunities and more.
