WALKING IN VICTORY — In spite of arguably the darkest and most disheartening chapters of her life, Atlanta-area businesswoman Alandria L. Lloyd, a devout woman of immeasurable faith, found peace and solace and spirital comfort in Almighty God, a life-enhancing trend that eventually fueled her desire to establish Change Agent Outreach Ministries, LLC.
There’s no other way to put it.
Alandria L. Lloyd, as she forthrightly tells it, was about to lose her mind at one point in time.
But God…
“After losing two children so close together, I was on the verge of losing my mind,” Lloyd, a 33-year-old Atlanta-area businesswoman, told Making Headline News during an exclusive interview this week. “But God kept me.”
Indeed He did.
For instance, He kept her in the wake of Lloyd having become a teenage mother for the first time at the tender age of age of 15, a development that sadly for her, resulted in the death of her premature born child after just two weeks of having given birth.
He kept her mightily approximately a year later after Lloyd had become pregnant once again, this time at 16 years of age, an occurrence that ultimately had given way to a teary-eyed and dejected young mother being left to bury an infant child yet again — all in a such short time frame.
PAYING IT FORWARD — A newly-erected ministry Lloyd founded in November 2017 and is powered by her A’Maya’s Army nonprofit organization, Change Agent Outreach Ministries’ chief objective is centered on serving single mothers, particularly those who have suffered the lost a child (or of children).
“She was stillborn,” Lloyd recalled.

PAIN WITH A PURPOSE — By and large, Lloyd, whom admittedly “always had dreams the size of Texas,” doesn’t shy away from the notion that she customarily uses her pain as the spiritual fuel to catapult her to her purpose.
“My ministry is encouraging and mentoring mothers who have experienced a similar loss,” Lloyd, a native of Natalbany, Louisiana said.
Widely known as an accomplished author, mentor, and motivational speaker, Lloyd credits the perseverance, coupled with the bend-but-don’t-break faith she had to capture amid her babies’ deaths as the driving force that greatly enabled her to start what is shaping up to become a thriving, kingdom-advancing ministry.
“My competitive drive in life propelled me in my business, because I know that if I don’t go out and get it, no one else will do it for me,” Lloyd said. “My experience influenced me to start a ministry that serves that particular population.”
WOMAN OF MANY HATS — Widely known as an accomplished author, mentor, and motivational speaker, Lloyd credits the perseverance, coupled with the bend-but-don’t-break faith she had to capture amid her babies’ deaths as the driving force that greatly enabled her to start what is shaping up to become a thriving, kingdom-advancing ministry.

The divine purpose for which God created her, that is.
“It is imperative that I encourage others daily, because I try to be to others what I wished I had for myself during my darkest seasons,” Lloyd said. “I inspire others, because I know what it is like to feel alone, abandoned, and misunderstood.”
Widely known as a woman of beauty who’s armed with an array of talents, Lloyd is a proud graduate of Delgado Community College, New Orleans, where she majored in General Studies.
Besides mentoring youths, she routinely assists aspiring authors to self-publish their books.
“My business caters to women of all ages,” Lloyd said. “Mostly millenials, but the ages vary.”
DEFYING ALL ODDS — Widely known as a woman of beauty who’s armed with an array of talents, Lloyd is a proud graduate of Delgado Community College, New Orleans, where she majored in General Studies.
As for her itinerary, Lloyd has a speaking engagement scheduled for January 27 in nearby Hammond, Louisiana during at a women’s empowerment brunch.
And, just recently she released a prayer journal entitled, “Fasting For Change,” an awe-inspiring written document that encourages people to incorporate fasting into their lives and to document their experiences during the fast.
“I try my best to uplift those who have been beaten down by the circumstances of life,” Lloyd said.
Because in case you haven’t gotten the memo, there’s no other way to put it.
