We should pray and ask God to help us to hate sin as much as He hates sin (5:20)

Dr. Brittanie Clacken

Medical Doctor in Emergency Medicine, Wife & Volunteer with Love March Movement

My name is Brittanie Clacken (nee Kemp). I was born and raised in Nassau Bahamas. At age 10 I said the sinner’s prayer and since then, I have been on the ebb and flow of sanctification. Daily, I seek to know God better, and to be salt and light in all my spheres of influence.

I have been married to my husband Wayne for four and a half beautifully challenging years.

Passionate about youth work, I am a Team Leader with the Love March Movement (LMM) – a youth Christian organization which advocates sexual purity, healthy marriages, families, and society. I also volunteer with the youth fellowship of my church.

Regarding my professional career, in May 2011, I graduated from Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY, USA with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry, Pre-med and in November 2018, I graduated with Bachelor’s in Basic Medicine and Surgery from the University of the West Indies, Mona Jamaica. I am currently working as a Medical Doctor in the Emergency Medicine Department of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI).

I enjoy speaking about relationships, sex, and marriage because I feel like so much has been done to taint their beauty, and so many lives are hurt by failure in these areas. By God’s grace, I hope to shed some light on this very important and interesting topic.
