Arlette paints life with stunning brushstrokes, whether she designs marketing pieces for an impressive list of clients or uses her creative gifts for the ministry God has entrusted to her. His glory is on stunning display through her teaching, storytelling, music, podcasting, and even through her great sense of humor, which causes audiences everywhere to embrace her warmly.
Through the power of storytelling, laughter…and a few tears, Arlette Revells takes us on an adventure in her book Joys of the Not So Perfect Woman: Stories of Holy Awareness Moments with a Perfect God. She defines “Holy Awareness Moments” as those times when you realize God did something so special and tangible in your life that there is no doubt God orchestrated it.
If you asked Arlette to articulate her passion, she would be quick to answer. “I want to encourage and inspire others to let their faith in God take wing and soar to the heights for which we are all destined.” This passion is realized every time she takes the stage as she inspires others to take faith-strengthening action. Life experiences as a wife, mother, grandmother (a.k.a. GiGi), friend, author, inspiration storyteller, and business owner make her relevant, real, and unforgettable. People can remember her stories years down the road.
She has been married to her husband, Lavon, a chemist, for over 55 years. She refers to him as her ‘knight in shining armor.’ They are both the proud parents of two children (with wonderful mates) and thirteen grandchildren (with one bonus granddaughter married to one of their six grandsons). Her grands keep her on her toes, she says.
