StoryTime with Stephanie

In this episode, Shaqwana discusses aspects of her life's journey shared in her book, "Recipes to a Healed and Happy Life." I couldn't wait to chat with Shaqwana! She so eloquently tells some of her most painful experiences and asks thought-provoking questions to offer the reader a chance to reflect and journal.

Her book is also filled with mouth-watering recipes for readers to try. If anyone knows Shaqwana, you know this woman is a minister of the Gospel, a soul-healer, an amazing wife and mother, a woman who believes in lifting other sisters, and she can COOK and BAKE like nobody's business.

On this week's episode, we are chatting it up with author @KimberlyEdwardsGowdy as our guest. Kimberly is the author of "The Colorless Womb," and this is a story near and dear to my heart because it centers on the fertility challenges many African American women face.

Kimberly is bold and candid as she shares her fertility journey that led to what I would call a God-ordained appointment with destiny.

Only God would show up for His daughters the way He showed up for Kimberly.

In this episode we are sitting down with Radio & TV Personality, Davica Williams @davispeaks_, to discuss her book, "The Wonder Years: Me, Myself and My Story."

Davica is a highly sought-after public speaker and award-winning philanthropist whose transparency affords her the opportunity to effectively impact people from all walks of life. In her book, she shares her, and her twin sister, Demetria Williams', inspirational story - the story their family would prefer the world didn't know.

My first guest of season 4 is the Love Warrior herself, @lindsayenita. We chatted about her book, “Lessons Learned from a Side Chick.” You need to listen to this conversation if you are married, divorced, dating, boo’ed up, or single. I’m telling you, it will help you understand how easy it is for the “side chick” to step in and claim your spot.

But, when you encounter God’s love for you and experience what it means to love yourself, then you can learn how to love others at a whole other level. Grab a copy of Lindsay’s book at www.LindsayEnita.com.

We ended season 3 of StoryTime with Stephanie with Brenda D. Hardy, author of "Intimate Moments Devotional: A Closer Walk with Him in Our Personal Relationship with God. "I can't think of any other way to close out what has been a phenomenal season than to have Brenda share the importance of developing intimacy with God.

Her 31 "Love Letters" are designed for us to understand God's love for us, our relationship with Him, and ways in which we can draw closer to Him daily.

This episode we talked with author Annette B. Smith to discuss her book, Nyrah's Bully, inspired by a true story. It pains me to know that children are still being bullied worldwide. It's often at the hands of a child who also has been bullied.

This was a candid conversation with Annette about what made her write this book, as well as the numerous children's books in her portfolio.
