Definitely Ministers To The Hungry Soul

This is a beautiful story about life, love, family, and self actualization. It is spirit and soul, and it is heartfelt and challenging. This is so much more than a self help book. For me, it's a story about coming to terms with the woman that you can be when you stop allowing fear and expectations of others to guide your life. Today was my second time listening to this, and I am reminded how necessary the author's words are. Her voice is soothing and rings of familiarity, like I'm hearing from a dear friend.

This is a must `read` for any black woman who needs to be reminded of her value and worth. Listen to it today. And then to all the other women who do not fit into the construct of blackness, you should listen too. Any woman can relate to feeling of inadequacy and just not thereism....
Chewing from teachers like this author encourages and affirms in a way in which we all can relate.
