 Who  goes through life without bruises and knockdowns? No one. But do you  know who comes out on the other side with healing and strength? Those  who make up in their minds that they want a different way of  experiencing life. The good news is that there's no reason why you can't  be that person. The Bible says that the steps of a good man or woman  are ordered by the Lord. Yet sometimes those steps take us down a road  of pain, disappointment, misfortune, and trials that we would not have  chosen for ourselves. It's at these times that we can experience  tremendous growth and breakthrough in our circumstances and in our faith  by allowing God to work all things (even unpleasant things) together  for our good. 

 Dr. V's memoir, "From the Projects  to a Ph.D.: A View from the Other Side of America," was written to  inspire and uplift the human spirit. In the book, she provides an  awareness of cultural biases and shares strategies to effectively  communicate across cultures. 

Her other projects  include Christian, contemporary, women’s fiction, and non-fiction books  that focus on relationships and women’s issues. Currently, she teaches  on the university level and is a nationwide literacy trainer. In her  spare time, she likes to sew and spend time with her family.
