What are three books that changed your life—and why?
My Three Life-Changing Books:
- The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama
In 2008, Barack Obama made history—not just by becoming the first Black president of the United States, but by daring to hope in a country that had never seen a person of color in its highest office. Against all odds, he ran. Against all odds, he won.
This book reminded me of a profound truth: no matter what, keep going. Set your sights on your goal and stay the course. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. But with belief in yourself and faith in your purpose, you can rise above them all.
- No Limits* by John Maxwell
John Maxwell’s message is simple but powerful: stop placing limits on your potential. He identifies 17 capacities we each possess—creativity, energy, leadership, and more—and invites us to grow them on purpose.
This book lit a fire in me! I was so inspired that I began studying leadership and personal development, ultimately becoming a certified coach, speaker, and trainer through the John Maxwell Team. Today, I use what I’ve learned to help others transform their lives and live on purpose.
- I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou told her story with raw truth—her ache of abandonment, the pain of trauma, and the cruel sting of racism. Yet her spirit never broke. She discovered that love, kindness, and the power of words could set her free.
Her poetry is both spiritual and liberating. When I’m feeling low, I revisit “Still I Rise” or “Phenomenal Woman.” They remind me of how beauty and power can emerge even from suffering.
The thread that ties all three together?
Never give up. No matter what.

The Bible continually has a powerful impact on me. No where else have I found such comfort to pain, such awareness to growth and the tools learn how to surrender control to the One that has ultimate control! ♥
