POV: You stepped out on faith, finished the book and now the enemy is big mad 🙌🏽

But guess what? God already turned it in my favor.

These books didn’t just show up… purpose did.

Every tear. Every battle. Every silent prayer. It all led to this moment.

📚 Beautifully Scarred is here.

And on Thursday, I get to hold space with some of the realest, strongest, most purpose-filled people I know at The Exchange: Book Signing & Networking Mixer.

🗓 July 24th | 7:30PM–9:30PM

📍 Solaire Rooftop, Richmond VA

🎟 Tickets include food, 2 drinks + book signing experience

God did it. And I want you in the room when we celebrate that.

Let’s make the enemy even madder 😏
