ABOUT THE BOOK
Your destiny is in your hands! The legal and physical
shackles of slavery have been removed. However,
psychological shackles continue to hold many in bondage.
It’s time to completely remove the shackles of slavery.
Becoming encourages you to challenge deeply held
subconscious beliefs that affect every aspect of your life
and hinders you from your greater good. Becoming gives
you the opportunity to define your destiny for yourself.
You can abolish mental slavery by abolishing lingering
beliefs that remain from physical slavery! Learn how to
challenge and overthrow negative subconscious beliefs.
These beliefs, if left unchallenged, will hinder you from
claiming your success and your greater blessings.
Becoming begins a journey of self-development and true
self-love. It teaches the reader to look at self-sabotaging
behaviors and discover for herself who she really is. It
encourages her to become the greatest person she can
and to truly love herself.
"Becoming
is an
outstanding book that
captures the experience
of many if not most African
American women. Your
keen observations
regarding the impact of
slavery on African-
American women and
their relationships
with their men, children,
families and others are
eye opening. You have
boldly stepped out and
plainly stated what many
have been afraid to say.
The book Becoming
offers help to women who
want to make a difference
in their lives and in the
lives of others in their
sphere of influence.
Each chapter presents
common real life
experiences and
responses to those
experiences that require
personal reflection for
becoming a better person."

FREE PREVIEW
We must take our history into account when we look at where we are in life. It is essential that we factor in slavery, as it is a very big part of our history. Refusal to accept the fact that life in America was never a level playing field will result in feeling powerless and inferior. But when we look at the facts, and realize that many of our children score very highly on standardized tests, and in many other areas, then we will begin to see clearly that we are a highly intelligent group of people.
This is the antidote to the fear and self-doubt that arises from the false belief that we, as a people, are academically inferior. If we could only understand the severity of the mental and physical devastation our race has endured we would be more caring and compassionate toward one another as well as ourselves. Take a moment and focus on what it must have been like for our ancestors who were enslaved. Think about the strength and courage they had to have to face each day and then continue on your own mental journey.
Depending on your age and generation, it is likely that your great grandmother lived a part of her life in slavery; your grandmother may have experienced a life in an America tainted with the history of Jim Crow; your mother, segregation and the Civil Rights movement. Surely you can appreciate that we are a part of a family who has overcome tremendous odds.
The same genes and spiritual power that led them to victory are stored within us and will lead us to our own victories!
