December invites us to reflect—on the year behind us, the lessons we’ve gathered, and the voices that shaped our thinking along the way.

This month’s Must-Follow Minorities features creators, leaders, and truth-tellers who can help you navigate a year of rebuilding. Some will challenge your assumptions. Others will give language to what you’re feeling but can’t articulate. All of them will remind you that wisdom often comes from the margins—from voices that mainstream platforms overlook but that God uses powerfully.

Elevating minority voices is essential. These aren’t just profiles. These are people you’ll want to follow, learn from, and support as they walk out their God-given callings. Let’s celebrate them. Let’s share their work. Let’s be… Share on X

If you’re looking for fresh perspectives as you close out 2025, these are the people I recommend following. They’re not just content creators; they’re kingdom voices worth amplifying.

Nicole Langman

With more than 20 years of experience supporting women through trauma, grief, and unexpected life changes, her greatest joy is helping women recover from brokenness and find their true identity in Jesus.

Her book, You Are Wanted – Reclaiming the Truth of Who You Are, is a therapeutic resource rooted in the Bible, written for women who have experienced rejection, betrayal, and abandonment. Her devotions have been published in the You Version Bible App, Proverbs 31, Dayspring, (in)courage, EA Books, and Carol Kent’s most recent book, Life Lessons for Moms.

Her greatest joy is helping women recover from brokenness and find their true identity in Jesus.

Ellen Lee

A former fat kid, ugly duckling and late bloomer, Kimberly Thomas is a small-town southern girl with big God dreams! By day, she is a 4am workout regular, corporate event specialist, and a trendsetting advocate for learning to wear worth well. And, by night, she is an aspiring author, guacamole snob, and high functioning shoe addic…er, um, enthusiast who believes Cinderella shouldn’t be the only one whose life changed because of a pair of shoes!

Your worth isn’t something to find—it’s something to wear, boldly and beautifully.

As we step into a new year, I'm convinced that who we listen to shapes who we become. Share on X

These voices will sharpen your thinking, deepen your faith, and expand your understanding of what God is doing in the world.

If you’ve discovered a minority voice that’s impacted your journey this year, I’d love to hear about them. Drop a comment below or send me a DM on Instagram—your recommendation might be featured in a future edition.

And if this list blessed you, share it with someone who needs fresh voices in their feed. Amplifying these creators is one small way we can shift the algorithm toward wisdom.

See you in January!

I invite you to share your thoughts and feelings with me via social media on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedInTwitter, or Threads.

Until next time,
