ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL ADVANCE NATIONAL COVERAGE: Florida faith-based writer Acetra Dee Russell defies rash of odds, makes her ceremonious authorship debut in Fall 2023
Andre Johnson 
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18/NKJV)
HEALED & BLESSED
For what it’s worth, 2008 was a challenging year for Acetra Dee Russell.
In many aspects, though, it also was a stretch that had ultimately given way to a defining moment, of sorts, for this esteemed devout woman of faith.
A monumental one, to put it more precisely.
Consider, for instance, how God had strategically infused within Russell the unction of the Holy Spirit during that timeframe, an awe-inspiring discovery that subsequently led to this beloved minister making her authorship debut.
As part of Making Headline News’ 2024 Essence Music Festival advance coverage leading to the “the party with a purpose” event July 5-7 in New Orleans, Russell spoke at length about how God had given her the vision to compose 100% Healed: A Mother’s Journey of Moving Mountains to Heal the Heart After Death and Divorce, her highly-anticipated book that aligns with the divine purpose for which God created her.

“(I was blessed to) pen my story in 2008 after my youngest daughter was diagnosed with cancer,” Russell told MHN this week.
A compelling, fascinating read that is comprised of 156 pages, Russell’s 100% Healed: A Mother’s Journey of Moving Mountains to Heal the Heart After Death and Divorce is suitably deemed a “deeply moving” memoir, one in which this faith-based author takes her readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing after facing two of life’s most heart-wrenching challenges: the untimely death of her daughter and the dissolution of her marriage, according to a detailed breakdown of this book via Amazon.com.

“Guided by faith, courage, and an unwavering spirit, she offers an intimate portrayal of her path and the tools of empowerment she used on the road to become ‘100% Healed,’” said publisher Taushauna Burrel via Amazon.com for Russell’s November 2023-released memoir. “This book will illuminate your journey from heartbreak to hope.”
And then there are a number of profound key features in Russell’s 100% Healed: A Mother’s Journey of Moving Mountains to Heal the Heart After Death and Divorce.
Amongst them:
- PROFOUND PERSONAL NARRATIVE: The author peels back layers of her own life, sharing raw and vulnerable experiences of pain, loss, and the burdensome mask of strength she wore for years.
- SPIRITUAL AWAKENING: A pivotal realization shifts the focus from her daughter’s physical healing to the author’s own spiritual and emotional journey, offering readers a unique perspective on the true nature of healing.
- JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION: Experience a transformational journey from despair to hope, from control to surrender, and from masked pain to authentic strength.
- GUIDANCE AND INSPIRATION: Find guidance, support, and inspiration for your own life challenges, as the author shares valuable insights and lessons learned on her path to healing.
- FAITH AND SURRENDER: Discover the power of faith, the strength in vulnerability, and the peace that comes from surrendering to a higher power.
- COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION: Connect with a community of readers who share in the journey of healing, find comfort in shared experiences, and draw strength from the knowledge that you are not alone.
As Russell recalls, she began producing her first book sometime in 2008 and finally witnessed her published masterpiece come full circle last year.
“I chose the book because I knew there were woman out there like me who needed to know how to heal from the aftermaths of death and divorce,” Russell told MHN. “God was very instrumental in orchestrating the penning of this book. I was able to close a chapter of hurt but also allowed me to minister to women and men who are trying to navigate the pain of losing a loved one as well as experiencing a divorce.”
Fortunately for Russell, it was time well invested, producing a book that has resulted in her fair share of rave reviews.
“I’ve received feedback stating how my book has helped people take the steps to healing by knowing they are not alone,” Russell, the creator of Moving Mountains Ministry Inc., said. “Having the faith as little as a mustard seed, you can tell your mountain of tragedy to move.”
For her valiant authorship efforts, Russell will be afforded the golden opportunity to promote her new book, most notably during The Power of WE Conference October 11-13, The Voices of Purpose Virtual Summit June 15, Powerful On Purpose September 28, as well as an appearance on Black Authors Association podcast at a time and date to be determined.
Also, Russell was featured in Literacy Moments Magazine’s June edition.
SET ASIDE FOR GOD’S USE
An adjunct professor at Glory to Glory College of Theology and Leadership, Russell doesn’t shy away from the notion that God strategically ordered her steps to compose her first book, one that has been as good as advertised since its Fall 2023 release.
“God was very instrumental in orchestrating the penning of this book,” Russell said. “I was able to close a chapter of hurt but also allowed me to minister to women and men who are trying to navigate the pain of losing a loved one as well as experiencing a divorce.”
