Meet Chevalier DeShay – A Beacon of Sisterhood, Faith, and Empowerment
​
Chevalier DeShay is a passionate voice for women seeking purpose in the beautifully complex journey of faith, family, and career. She understands that true sisterhood is not just a bond—it's a force. One that lifts, heals, and empowers.
​
With her husband, Pastor Carl L. DeShay Sr., she co-founded Kingdom Harvest Ministries International in Bastrop, Texas, answering a divine call to serve and lead with compassion. Together, they’ve built more than a ministry—they’ve built a movement.
​
Chevalier’s message is simple, yet profound:
“Rejoice in the victories of your fellow women, for the overflow of celebration knows no bounds.”
She believes there is no competition among chosen women—only collaboration. We each have our own divine destination, but we are meant to journey together. Her voice encourages us to cheer loudly for one another, knowing that what we celebrate in others will soon bloom in us.
Whether she's delivering a powerful message from the pulpit or striking up a divine conversation in the grocery store aisle, Chevalier’s presence draws women in—reminding them they are seen, valued, and never alone. Her life roles—woman of God, wife, mother, sister, friend, and purpose-driven professional—give her a uniquely balanced perspective on the very real challenges women face.
But her story didn't start in the spotlight.
Chevalier defied every odd stacked against her. Her path has been anything but perfect—but it’s been powerful. She has stumbled through insecurity, wrestled with rejection, battled through breakups, and sought validation in all the wrong places. But through it all, she rose. And now, she stands—not as someone who’s figured it all out—but as someone who's still rising… and wants you to rise with her.
She is living proof that your past doesn’t disqualify you—it prepares you. Today, Chevalier invites you to stop hiding behind your wounds and start building with them. To step boldly into your now, knowing that everything you’ve been through is pushing you toward everything you’re becoming.
Under her guidance, women are not just inspired—they are activated. We are LEARNING. GROWING. EVOLVING!—together.
As a proud graduate of the Huston-Tillotson University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and a trailblazer who earned her MBA from Baylor University, Chevalier uses her education, experience, and anointing to pour into the lives of women across all walks of life.
Join Chevalier DeShay on this empowering voyage. Let’s rewrite the narrative, embrace who we are, and become who we were always meant to be—Chosen, Equipped, and Called for such a time as this.
