The Queen of daytime TV, Oprah Winfrey once said, “It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. The ability to triumph always begins with you.”
I have overcome overwhelming stumbling blocks to become who I am today, through my self named “dark valley experiences”! I have resolved to use this book to document my story, and with this I intend to empower people to not let their struggles deter them from succeeding.
I had a troubled childhood and was exposed to physical and sexual abuse. That withstanding, I still managed to score good grades in school. However these grades didn’t save me. My autobiography, A PIECE of CAKE shares how I managed to break free from a spell of hopelessness. This is exactly what I want the reader to take from it.
I did not allow my troubled past to deter me from emerging victor. Through hard work, determination and a really close relationship with God, you surely can’t fail. I’ve labored to take the reader by the hand and lead them down the path of self discovery, self help, self-empowerment and self love. Breaking free is only possible if you “tap the power within.” My story is a manifestation that “valleys are purposeful”!
Do you need more of this inspiration? Look out for my autobiography A PIECE of CAKE which will be launched on 11th July ’15.
