When Women Talk, Volume 3.
Notes From the Future:
What I Would Tell My Younger Self
Genre:
Nonfiction personal essays.
In this book, my coauthors and I will share our stories of learning and life. We, as women, will inspire you to build community, to pursue your dreams, and to live your best life.
"When Women Talk has sprung from the belief that we all have a story to tell; there is someone who needs to hear it, and by working together, we can reach more people so that our stories can make a difference in someone's life."
(as shared by the curator).
Shop Amazon for:
Volume 1 (Stepping Forward, October 2023)
Volume 2 (Defying Societal Expectations, March 2025)
Funds and proceeds raised through book sales of When Women Talk are used to invest in the livelihoods of women worldwide. Those who purchase Volume 1, 2, or the soon-coming Volume 3 will make a difference in the life of a woman who will then make a difference in the lives of others through her success.
Anticipate Volume 3 in the fall of 2026.
Likened to Volumes 1 and 2, this will be a collection of stories from women who fought hard to get where they are and who are going to tell you that the path isn't clean.
Your moral support and encouragement in our collaborative effort to bring you this book is valuable. Through this, I find strength for writing my chapter:
"Sometimes the Journey from Nightfall to Sunrise is Not an Overnight Matter"
(my working chapter title).
My essay will show that we don’t have to bring ill-emotions from an upsetting childhood event into our adulthood. And yet if we do, there is hope for renewal. After all, it takes what it takes to get us to where we are today in life.
