Liris Crosse has truly been making The World Her Runway, and certainly knows how to slay by faith and not by sight. She’s been wowing us for years, but she was definitely introduced to the world in a new way when she was one of the first models to win the plus size modeling competition on Project Runway in Season 16. Now, she’s added author to her long resume, and doing it quite well might I add, with the release of her book “Make The World Your Runway: ”, a labor of love that highlights the importance of walking in purpose, being confident and how to tap into and own your genius. The “Naomi Campbell of Plus” and a force to be reckoned with on and off the runway, Liris has proven that knowing who you are and trusting God to lead your journey is the key to success. More than just her iconic scene in The Best Man, Liris has graced the cover of top magazines including American Vogue, Essence, British Cosmopolitan and Vibe. She’s face of curve for Maggie Sottero’s Spring 2019 Collection. She’s also been featured in store campaigns for Lane Bryant and Ashley Stewart and was the FIRST black model to grace the Goddess Lingerie campaign in 2015. She represents the epitome of beauty inside and out and understands the importance of ministry being a mission regardless of the industry you’re in.  Follow Liris @lirisc on Instagram.

He first hopped onto the entertainment scene when he did Peanut Live 215, then branched off to do his own thing with two of Philly’s own, KP and Tasha Mac, to produce and star in the hit web series, Personals. Since then, Ryan has linked with up and coming director phenom, Lay Tahir, to produce and star in several short films, including Committed, Personals Mini Movie, The Lick. Many of his videos on YouTube have received more than 50K views and some upwards of 100K. He had a cameo in Creed and has auditioned for Spike Lee.

What do you do when you obey God—but the people around you don’t? In this timely and truth-filled episode, I’m unpacking what it means to walk in obedience when others choose disobedience. I share real stories from my own life where I did what God asked of me, yet things didn’t turn out as expected because others didn’t respond the way they should have.Through biblical examples—from Elijah and King Ahab to Paul and the early churches—I explore how God still honors your faithfulness even when others fall short. You'll also hear how Jonah, Jesus, and others navigated this tension and what it means for us today.This episode is for the faithful servant who's felt overlooked, discouraged, or delayed because someone else didn’t do their part. It’s a reminder that your obedience still matters, and someone’s destiny might be waiting on your "yes." Stay encouraged and trust that God sees, God knows, and God rewards.Scriptures Referenced:1 Kings 18:16-40; 1 Kings 19 & 21Isaiah 41: 10; Galatians 6:9; 1 Peter 4:191 Corinthians 1:10-17; Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Timothy 4:1-5Romans 8:28; Psalm 37:5; Hebrews 12:1-3Jonah 1-4 (The whole book)Psalm 34:17; Jeremiah 29:11; Romans 12:12Matthew 23; John 8:37-47; Luke 13:31-35John 16:33; Psalm 27:14; 2 Corinthians 12:9Email List Sign Up: Girls AnthemGirls Anthem Print Magazine: Order Here
