She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard. (Proverbs 31:16 ESV)
REPRESENTIN’ THE SIP
Emily Strickland-Thompson is one blessed woman.
So much, in fact, that she has spent virtually a majority of her life doing the very thing she was ordained to do.
“I have been a leader and mentor all my life,” Strickland-Thompson, during a recent interview with Making Headline News, said, explaining at length that about which she has become overwhelmingly passionate.
To her credit, Strickland-Thompson, 45, has made immeasurable strides while functioning fervently in the divine purpose for which she was created. The longtime Memphis-area businesswoman, in fact, is responsible for wearing a variety of hats, most notably as an accomplished realtor, retail manager, inspirational speaker and life coach, and Mary Kay and Paparazzi Accessories consultant.
As if those endeavors aren’t enough to make for a busy lifestyle, Strickland-Thompson is co-host for Nerd Of The Culture Radio Show, as well as the founder and CEO of A Chance to Thrive, her nonprofit organization that has become a fixture for helping single moms who lack financial means get basic necessities and develop skills to advance in their careers or to start their own businesses.

“My mission is to transform the lives of single mothers, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and those who are ready to attain financial freedom,” Strickland-Thompson said. “I provide coaching and consulting that inspires, empowers, guides, and transforms motivated and passionate people to step into their purpose and achieve their goals, desires and dreams.”
Generally, Strickland-Thompson emphasized, this is done through heart-centered and service based personal engagement while providing what she appropriately describes as “a listening ear,” authentic feedback, and the tools and resources required to help those with whom cross path achieve success.
“It is my mission to ensure that you take charge of your life, break free from the chains and guilt of society, and step into the life God intended you to live,” Strickland-Thompson said of her strategic objectives.
A native of Rienzi, Mississippi — a rural Alcorn County establishment that is comprised of roughly 317 residents, according to the latest U. S. census — Strickland-Thompson recently made her authorship debut with the ceremonious release of Overcoming: In The Mist of It All, a spiritually-empowering written work that hit the market on February 8.
A life-alter book that is comprised of 146 pages, Strickland-Thompson’s Overcoming: In The Mist of It All eloquently reminds her reading audience of the array of Biblical personalities who miraculously overcame the toughest of adversities and hardships, “and so can you,” she stresses, according to a detailed synopsis of this author’s book at Amazon.com.
“Back cover troubles don’t last always,” Strickland-Thompson steadfastly tells her readers. “Are you tired of the rollercoaster of life? Wondering if your season will ever come? God never promised us a life without pain or trouble. He did promise to be there with us every step of the way. Overcoming will inspire and encourage you as you go through the process of healing. We must learn to trust God and know when we put our problems in His hands, He will put peace in our hearts.”

Besides witnessing the much-anticipated release of her first book, Strickland-Thompson has gone to great lengths to enhance her business-related mechanics, particularly in the wake of this unprecedented global pandemic.
“During this pandemic, we were able to assist with food and necessities,” said Strickland-Thompson, referring to the community activities through her nonprofit organization. “I know there’s purpose in pain. If you are going through it, went through it, and came out, why not help others do the same?”

Having assumed the role of a single mother more than two decades, Strickland-Thompson doesn’t shy away from the notion that she boasts a heart for aiding and empowering likeminded women, many of whom can greatly attest to such a commendable and awesome responsible.
“I truly believe God assign people to us to inspire, encourage, empower, or assist them in their lives,” Strickland-Thompson said. “I do not want to be the reason someone didn’t get a breakthrough or live their life to the fullest.”
Appropriately and eloquently said by one blessed woman.
