School, where her love for basketball was ignited. Nettie was not just
a player but a star on the girl’s basketball team, consistently
leading the scoring charts and helping secure two consecutive
championships. This impressive performance earned her a prestigious
4-year scholarship to North Carolina Central University.
After a stint at North Carolina Central, Nettie embarked on a
different journey and enlisted in the US Army from 1987 to 1995.
During her service, she continued to pursue her education, earning an
Associate Degree in Information System Technology.

thriving in ministry, and experiencing continued healing. Nettie
believes in sharing her testimony to inspire others to overcome
obstacles and find healing. She is also featured as a guest on the
