JOURNEY WORTH TAKING: Two-time published author Shanita Dawson-Ugwuoke finding her niche as faith-based writer
Andre Johnson 
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18/NIV)
WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED
No one aspires to get married only to get divorced, let alone shot and nearly robbed of his/her life.
Shanita Dawson-Ugwuoke can greatly attest to such a harsh, life-altering reality.
“After being shot multiple times by my ex-husband, I wanted to share my story with the world to let them know don’t let trauma stop you from living your life,” Dawson-Ugwuoke, during a recent interview with Making Headline News, said, recalling the rash of developments surrounding her fervent quest to emerge as a two-time published author. “(I want my readers to know that) God kept you for a reason, which your means story is not over yet.”
Indeed, it isn’t for Dawson-Ugwuoke whom, because of where God is strategically taking her, was blessed mightily to disclose her awe-inspiring testimony by way of Our Journey From Girls To Women: Lessons We Learned Along The Way, an intriguingly fascinating anthology that debuted in December 2024.
