"Sometimes you think you do not have hope; but you keep on! Then you find out you have hope, and then you find faith"

InPOWERmeant Dream Coach™

 

My first public speaking engagement was at 12 years old. I remember it vividly. The feeling of having the audience entertained, captive, and inspired by my voice established a life long passion as a public speaker. I enjoy speaking and have a lot of fun doing it. As keynote speaker, facilitator, workshop leader, panel guest, or guest on radio and TV. I've learned to incorporate a balance of humor in serious topics. It is an art, and I love customizing my message to your theme. I find joy in instigating, agitating, and inspiring audiences with engaging, powerful, transforming messages of hope.

 

I began writing poetry and short stories as a pre-teen; I learned at a young age paper is nonjudgmental. Those reading, however, may have a few more opinions. Dynamic, relatable, and raw is what many who read my books say. Author of 13 books, including bestselling Moving Forward in the Face of Adversity, It's Not You, It's Me, Dream BIG, Dream Catcher, BReaThe, and my latest release, The Day I Forgave GOD! Be it a novel, inspirational, or poetic, all of my writings journey the reader through the message of hope and faith. You can host an Inspirational Cafe' my version of a book signing and book read with your group or book club; for more information, contact us directly. Email

 

I coined InPOWERmeant Dream Coach™ to reflect my personal coaching style of coaching and counseling. The place where dreams are manifested. What is your dream, deepest desire, or divine purpose? Are you at a crossroads or roadblock and not sure what, where, or how to start? Do you know you are in-powered to accomplish your dreams? Perhaps you are tired of the same-ol' thing. I'm not an ordinary Coach/Counselor; together, we work your muscle of faith and develop your gene of good success. Once and for all, you will move past your doubts and fears and experience explosive results.

You Again?… is a riveting and provoking story of one woman, Iris, and her spiritual journey to the understanding of her purpose in life. Iris never knew her father, who was killed when she was two. Her mother later told her that her father was gay. This story reveals vivid characters and experiences that reach across social and economic backgrounds. The narrative opens with Iris in a very dark, lonely and depressed place. Often torn between men and God, her life is in chaos. She characterizes these men as “Mr.’s.” Simple and obvious choices are muted with failures, fears and insecurities. “Mr. let us take on the world” wants to get married, but she was not yet over “Mr. I will do anything for you.” Tired of tired and tired of talking about tired, Iris decides to embark on a life-changing experience. She has no idea if she will find a real solution to her failed relationships,career and life, but knows that something has got to change.

Not This Time is the sequel to bestselling book and original story You Again?... by iRiS. Not This Time is a fresh and fascinating, spellbinding journey of a woman in search of living a fulfilled life: A novel like memoir. Iris is finally married to Mr. Who in the world are you? pregnant and learns he is a crack head. She thought she finally got it right but what was a dream has turned into a nightmare. Or has it? Iris is faced with a major life changing decision; her choice not only affects her but she now has a child. She is the caregiver for her terminally ill mother who has battled cancer for the 3rd time and Iris is exhausted. Wanting peace and fulfillment in her life; an all too familiar distant dream. Faced with her past again and what could be another repeating mistake. Not This Time reveals the triumph of choosing the uncomfortable to live a dream of a fulfilled life!
