Following in the footsteps of her mother, Overseer Maria Stafford, a lifelong entrepreneur, speaker, and pastor, Portia has dedicated her life to preaching and singing the gospel. Her powerhouse voice has taken her to audiences across Europe (2013, 2016) and throughout the United States.
As an entrepreneur and public affairs strategist, Portia works to create opportunities for underserved populations to thrive. In 2015, she answered the call to ministry, and God pressed upon her heart a specific mission: to pour into single women of faith, encouraging them to embrace abundant life even in seasons of waiting. Through her ministry, music, and mentorship, Portia's message remains clear and unwavering, "Jesus is the answer, and hope is available to all who will receive it."
Preserved reframes singleness for Christian women as a sacred season of preparation rather than a pause in life. In this 30-day devotional, Portia Rene’ blends personal testimony and biblical teaching to help women overcome comparison, loneliness, and societal pressure by rooting their identity in Christ.Through encouragement, practical wisdom, and stories of Scripture, readers are reminded that they are already whole, already loved, and that God is preparing them for chapters ahead that are full of purpose.
