Pastor Farida Mays has become a highly sought-after motivational speaker due to her emphatic delivery of life-changing messages for women of all generations. Although she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Northern Illinois University, Farida attributes her notable personal growth to being Garland’s wife of 23 years, mother to sons: Dorian, Gabriel and Isaiah, serving alongside her husband as a youth pastor for over 18 years, and building a successful business within an international cosmetics company.

Farida’s elevation to first lady of The Lighthouse Church of All Nations complements her nurturing spirit, in addition to fueling her mission to empower men and women to believe bigger and become all that God has created them to be.
