I Am Woman

Who shot the truth?

No, the truth is not dead! It may have been shot, wounded, bruised, paralyzed, and perhaps even put in a coma. But miraculously, it awakens someday and begins to remember every single detail of its journey.

I always knew I was suppose to write this book about my life. For every young girl and boy that lives within each of us, it is time to awaken the truth. “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair”, (as written by the late great Langston Hughes, poet) but it has taught me to be strong, molded me into resilience, nurtured me with compassion, girded me with determination, and branded me with courage. It has made me into the woman that I am still becoming, as growth is constant progress. Despite my environment, my circumstances, the hand of life that I was dealt, I have worked diligently over the past 40 years to change my perspective of the incidents that transpired in my life. How can I grow from trauma? How can I gain wisdom from pain? How can I recognize the beauty of it all?

As a child, I did not get to choose my family, I did not get to choose where or how I grew up. As an adult, although I do get to choose, I have not always made the right choices for my life as I was ill-equipped to do so. But today, I choose to have a voice and speak on behalf of those who were never given the opportunity.

My truth is not dead! It may have been shot, wounded, bruised, paralyzed, and lying dormant in a coma; but it is time for the truth to rise up and do some spiritual, emotional and mental rehabilitation. Now is the time to speak the truth. I have a voice and it deserves to be heard—and so do you!

Story to Never Give Up

Natasha tells her story with language that helps you delve far into her world. As a child she faced serious and complex situations which any adult would find devastating. She shares how she learned to navigate her world and pull herself up to her higher self through, at times, pure determination and courage. She is no holds barred in sharing her most difficult challenges. This is a story of Hope and a message that with God’s help anything is possible for you too.

Let Truth Be Told!

Natasha's determination to survive and then thrive in spite of all the negative and devastating experiences she endured is impressive.
I liked her willingness to share her story even during the moments when her language went past colorful and was really strong to convey the message Natasha was truthfully trying to share.

The Power of Transparency

What a powerful story and woman!!!
Natasha tells her story with such passion and strength. Her transparency will inspire so many women to face their fears and speak their truth, The light that God put in her is so vibrant and she refuses to let any life experience dull that light. Natasha is truly an example of “you will come out of the fire without the smell of smoke.” I pray God continue Ms to bless her in all that she does!!
