Enhancing Your Life One Strand at a Time: The Next Chapter
Enhancing Your Life One Strand at a Time: The Next Chapter is where memoir meets method; an intimate, hard-earned love letter to textured hair and the women who wear it. From a little girl in New Haven braiding yarn into her own hair to a licensed cosmetology professional shaping confidence in the salon chair, Nekesa Namosunge J. Smith traces the moments that built her craft, her courage, and her calling.
But this isn't just a story about hair. It's about identity, safety, mentorship, and the decision to choose yourself again and again until your life starts to match your purpose. With warmth, humor, and straight professional truth, Smith invites you to stop "going natural" and start claiming what's already yours: your crown, your texture, and your radiance.
A Girl Like Me: Flawed but Favored
After surviving a traumatic and psychologically abusive relationship, Erica Emani offers this memoir as a vital gift for young women-and men-navigating love, identity, and self-worth. Research shows that countless victims of domestic violence, particularly verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse, go unreported each year due to fear, coercion, mistrust, or the invisible nature of the harm itself. This silence leaves many suffering alone, unsure whether what they are experiencing even "counts" as abuse.
Have you ever looked back on a relationship and wondered how those choices would shape your future? Perhaps you lacked guidance growing up, or followed your own path only to find yourself repeating the same painful patterns-different faces, same heartbreak. If so, you are not alone.
Drawing from raw, real-life experience, A Girl Like Me, Flawed but Favored is both a cautionary testimony and a message of hope. Erica Emani shares how deeply our choices can cost us, while also revealing how healing, restoration, and protection are still possible. Through faith, resilience, and the decision to trust God fully, this memoir points readers toward a path not only of survival, but of redemption, freedom, and favor.
