Georgia author Niamia “NeeNee” Eason’s much-anticipated breakthrough emerges, courtesy of a pair of intriguing books

April 1, 2020 Andre Johnson Leave a comment

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105 KJV)

LIGHT BULB MOMENT

**DOUBLE FOR HER TROUBLE —** A licensed minister of the Gospel who resides in Sylvania, Georgia, Niamia “NeeNee” Eason is the mastermind behind the books entitled, “Help Me See The Light!” and “Help Me See The Light: The Journal,” two awe-inspiring projects whose release dates are separated by 14 days.

As Niamia “NeeNee” Eason recalls, her faith was on trial unlike never before.

All things considered, it seemed her faith during what undoubtedly was a tumultuous season in her life was on the brink of evaporating all together.

In essence, it seemed she didn’t know which way to turn.

But God…

“I couldn’t rest at night,” Eason, during an interview this week with Making Headline News, said recalling the intriguing and memorable events that had ultimately given way to her becoming an author. “It’s like God didn’t allow me to rest until I accomplished what He purposed me to do…tell me testimony.”

A book that comprised of 70 pages in length, Eason’s “Help Me See The Light!” is centered largely on this Christian-based author’s fervent desire to “see the light” or, garner some much-needed spiritual relief while treading in what she deems “a dark desolate place.”

Once Eason had finally heeded God’s commands, what she had eventually discovered was that a massive portion of her destiny was at stake, a sequence that, to her credit, had come wrapped up in not one, but two spiritually-empowering books.

To her credit, Eason’s authorship debut actually commenced in 2014 during which she began composing her book. Still, in spite of what she describes as a rash of “life-changing events,” her quest to witnessing her books published and on the market was ultimately fulfilled and, much to her delight, thus erasing the memory of her season in the wilderness.

BUY AUTHOR EASON’S JOURNAL: https://www.amazon.com/Help-Me-See-Light-Journal/dp/1686681712

Eason’s “Help Me See The Light: The Journal” is 76 pages in length and is an inspirational written work that’s geared toward helping you, particularly on your journey to seeing the light.

“I could not function,” Eason, a native of Savannah, Georgia, writes in a detailed introduction of her book at Amazom.com. I really needed God to help me. My prayer during this time was ‘God, shake the foundation!’”

Moreover, Eason emphasized, there are times when life hands us some of the greatest challenges and trials, and we feel helpless in trying to see clear of them.

“In this book, you will find a testimony of a life impacted by many of those challenges and how just calling on Father God can change it all,” Eason eloquently acknowledges. “Asking God for light to shine in the darkest times of your life may be the answer to even your life’s present circumstances.”

Eason’s “Help Me See The Light: The Journal” is 76 pages in length and is an inspirational written work that’s geared toward helping you, particularly on your journey to seeing the light.

“With quotes and questions to get you on your way, you’ll love it,” Eason said of her sophomore project. “Asking God for light to shine in the darkest times of your life may be the answer to even your life’s present circumstances.”

Nearly one year removed from having ceremoniously stepped into the world of authorship, Eason — who spent a stint in the United States Navy — has been as good as advertised as a relatively new writer, considering the feedback since her books’ releases have been overwhelmingly favorable.

“People have told me they never knew I experienced the things that I did, and it even became a part of a church’s Bible Study group,” Eason said. “Also, it was said that my readers now see the light in their lives.”

For starters, she has her Most High God to thank for providing her with the sense of direction she needed to diligently step out on faith as a rising author.

“I believe God predestined me to write these books for such a time as this and to share it with the nations,” said Eason, adding that she’s available for speaking engagements said. “My stepdaughter was my inspiration for the journal. She kept pushing me to write more and, yes…eventually, I pray it turns into a movie or play.”

Talk about exercising faith the size of a mustard seed.

THE LORD’S DOING

Nearly one year removed from having ceremoniously stepped into the world of authorship, Eason — who spent a stint in the United States Navy — has been as good as advertised as a relatively new writer, considering the feedback since her books’ releases have been overwhelmingly favorable.

Chicago businesswoman Tabitha Purifoy making monumental strides through her newly-erected nonprofit organization

April 1, 2020 Andre Johnson

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. (Philippians 2:3 NKJV)

TAP-PING INTO SUCCESS

**REPRESENTIN’ THE CHI —** A native of Camden, Arkansas who presently resides in Chicago, Tabitha Purifoy, 47, is the mastermind behind TAP, a rising Illinois-based nonprofit organization that was organized to help people identify and decide on the next chapter in their lives.

Tabitha Purifoy has always been armed with a servant’s heart.

To her credit, she doesn’t mind reminding the world of it.

“I love helping people,” Purifoy, during an interview this week with Making Headline News, said, explaining specifically what she loves the most about her current business venture. “The smallest things mean so much to those that I’ve helped.”

Much to her delight, coupled with the fact that she is walking fervently in the purpose for which she was created, Purifoy’s entrepreneurship track record is such that she deems it therapeutic to empower others become a better version of themselves.

As Purifoy acknowledged, amongst her strategic ambitions is to eventually oversee the day-to-day operations of her newly-establish nonprofit organization on a full-time basis.

“I’m a natural giver,” Purifoy said of her business venture that figures to become a fixture throughout Chicago’s massive Metroplex, much sooner than later. “I have always been a person who loves to give and help people identify and decide on their next chapter in their lives.”

An acronym that stands for Turning Around Programs, Purifoy’s TAP is a relatively new organization yet, fortunately for this progressive, thriving businesswoman, it is already enjoying a considerable amount of success, given it has begun to attract the attention of the media.

**HEART OF GOLD —** “I love helping people,” Purifoy, during an interview this week with Making Headline News, said, explaining specifically what she loves the most about her current business venture. “The smallest things mean so much to those that I’ve helped.”

Talk about witnessing what undoubtedly seems to be some positive signs of things to come.

A successful Corporate America profession who works as a Chicago-area Human Resources Director, Purifoy is certainly armed with the educational credentials which, to her credit, has afforded her the golden opportunity to make a business-related dream a reality.

Upon graduating high school, earned a degree in Public Administration from Texas Southern University.

As Purifoy acknowledged, amongst her strategic ambitions is to eventually oversee the day-to-day operations of her newly-establish nonprofit organization on a full-time basis.

Given the immeasurable she’s made since its much-anticipated inception, she seems well on her way to accomplishing such a feat.

“I know my purpose and vision,” Purifoy said. “I’m actually an HR Director at a nonprofit organization now, but my goal is to get my nonprofit organization up and running not only here in Chicago, but in Houston, Ohio, Arkansas, and many other states eventually.”

At the rate this opportunistic business professional is going, her quest to bring about a national attraction to TAP appears highly attainable.

“My kids have been my motivation,” said Purifoy, when asked who are amongst those who have greatly inspired her to exercise her faith through the ever-so-competitive world of entrepreneurship.

A successful Corporate America profession who works as a Chicago-area Human Resources Director, Purifoy is certainly armed with the educational credentials which, to her credit, has afforded her the golden opportunity to make a business-related dream a reality.

Interestingly, Purifoy announced that she has started what is known as the “Dress To Impress” campaign, an up-and-coming endeavor whereby she’s accepting the donations of slightly used casual clothing, many of which will be given to someone who aspires to pursue a professional or business-related career.

“I have been doing this since I was able to share (with the masses about my nonprofit). “If you ever ask anyone about me, they would all agree if I have a whole pie, I will always share,” Purifoy said.

That, by all accounts, practically sums up why she customarily exhibits a servant’s heart, one in which she doesn’t mind reminding the world of it.

Article in The Charlotte Observer fuels author Dr. Belay D. Reddick Sr.’s desire to compose an intriguing book

March 30, 2020 Andre Johnson

Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! (Psalm 133:1 ESV)

AUTHOR OF BROTHERLY LOVE

**LEADING BY EXAMPLE —** Interestingly and to his credit, such an intriguing and thought-provoking story in The Charlotte Observer essentially fueled Dr. Belay Reddick’s desire to compose a rather empowering and informative book entitled, “There’s No Danger In The Water: Encouraging Black Men To Become Mentors,” an awe-inspiring written work that made its official debut in August 2013.

DALLAS — Approximately a decade ago, Dr. Belay D. Reddick Sr. began browsing the pages of The Charlotte Observer, which boasts the second largest circulation of any newspaper in the Carolinas.

What he subsequently discovered was something that essentially rested upon his spirit for quite some time.

“It was an article I read in The Charlotte Observer newspaper, written Eric Frazier titled, ‘Two Boys. One Roof. One Left in School,’” Dr. Reddick told Making Headline News during a weekend interview. “It talked about only half of black males in North Carolina would graduate on time. Two best friends helped to show why and Danquirs Franklin was one of the featured in story.”

Interestingly and to his credit, such an intriguing and thought-provoking story essentially fueled Dr. Reddick’s desire to compose a rather empowering and informative book entitled, “There’s No Danger In The Water: Encouraging Black Men To Become Mentors,” an awe-inspiring written work that made its official debut in August 2013.

A book that is comprised of 98 pages in length, Dr. Reddick draws specifically on his experience as a prominent mentor coach during which he strategically provides practical advice on how to inspire African-American boys which, in turn, would affect positive change in their lives, according to a detailed synopsis of this writer’s book at Amazon.com.

According to Reddick, readers of that book would discover tips on everything from creating youth summits and working with the community, to employing effective topics in mentorship work and taking self-assessments.

“For every adult black male who wants to save a generation of lost black boys, ‘There’s No Danger In The Water’ will help you,” Dr. Reddick emphasized.

Just recently, Dr. Reddick announced the forthcoming release of his second book. His project, “Now, Let Me Tell You How I Really Feel,” is scheduled to debut in April and will be available for purchase through S&B Company and Amazon.

A book Dr. Reddick needed somewhere in the neighborhood of three years to assemble, “There’s No Danger In The Water: Encouraging Black Men To Become Mentors” acknowledged this book, by all accounts, has created a unique dialog, particularly with regards to how today’s black boys are raised in single parent homes. As a result of such a familiar trend, Dr. Reddick said more men have volunteered mentors.

“Fatherless black boys are at a loss for positive male role models,” Dr. Reddick said. “After reading the story about Danquirs Franklin, my purpose was to save a generation of lost black boys.”

“I would like to say that one of the greatest investments that we can make as adults is building into the lives of our young black men,” Dr. Reddick said. “I always believed that mentoring is the answer.”

March 29, 2020 Andre Johnson

Beloved, I pray you to prosper concerning all things and to be in good health, just as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2)

SHE AIN’T WAISTING NO TIME

**MILWAUKEE’S BEST —** A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Daphne R.

Interestingly, Green offers consumers Waist Away Slimming Cream, a product that helps get rid of what company officials describe as “love handles,” as well helps tone and flatten your stomach or, to put it more precisely, helps you to achieve a much-anticipated “six pack.”

In a finding her fervent niche within a company that has garnered global success, Green deemed it essential to name her venture, “Waist Away by Daphne Rene,” an endeavor that caters mostly to individuals and groups ranging in ages 18 to 60.

“My drive is to offer the best health advice and helping others to reach their goals,” Green told Making Headline News during a recent interview. “What I like most about my business is seeing people happy, achieving their weight lost goals.”

For what it’s worth, long before Green was introduced to Waist Away, she admittedly struggled with her own weight, something she sensed she had to do something about, much sooner than later.

“After have four children and having unwanted fat in areas that I couldn’t get rid of, I decided to do something about it,” Green, a Memphis Melrose High School graduate, said. “I got tired of saying, ‘I can’t wear the clothing I want,’ because of how my stomach looked in them.”

“My adventure has taken me to at least 20 states so far,” Green said. “I know it’s a lot of people that have insecurities about their weight and large stomachs and would love to have a flatter stomach. Most of my clients have larger stomachs, because of childbirth, stress or a lack of control through bad eating habits.

“And I enjoy helping them to lose unwanted fat in areas they have a hard time losing it. I also wear my own products to show them that it’s possible and my products are guaranteed to work.”

All the while greatly enabling others to live and savor a healthy, carefree lifestyle.

FedEx Corporation Executives partake in recent tour of UNICOR’s Operations in Forrest City, Arkansas

March 28, 2020 Andre Johnson

SEASON OF THE REBIRTH

**FRESH START —** In July 2019, Dr. Belay Reddick urged FedEx Corp. Executive Vice President and CFO Alan B. Graf, Jr. in a letter to visit the UNICOR inmates because they were more likely to find and keep meaningful employment, and hiring them can pay big dividends for his company.

FORREST CITY, Arkansas — If re-entry involvement could be attributed to personal rehabilitation, Dr. Belay Reddick could well be the banner bearer.

Dr. Reddick, 51, is an accomplished author and is a current incarcerated.

Interestingly, Reddick garnered praise for bringing FedEx Corporation executives to UNICOR, a vital correctional program within the Federal Bureau of Prisons, for a tour of its furniture factory and to speak with the offenders who participate in the UNICOR program about employability skills needed for the workforce in early February.

Attendees included Barb Wallander, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Brandon Tolbert, Vice President of Human Resources, Rosemary Paden, Human Resources Advisor to Barb Wallander, Frank Olson, National Trainer, and Marlon Sanders, National Recruiter.

Dr. Reddick is the re-entry clerk for UNICOR in Forrest City, Arkansas, a company that customarily produces office furniture for the U.S. military. He is tasked with helping UNICOR inmates approaching release from custody get back on their feet. His goal is to ease the transition of inmates back into society, connecting them with jobs, housing and other resources.

“Learning, teamwork, putting customers first, and strong communication skills are all important in having a successful career,” Wallander recently told a crowd of roughly 130 inmates. “If you put the hard work in now, it’ll pay off later.”

Wallander added that FedEx Corp. will hire an ex-felon, provided the individual can pass a drug test and his date of conviction was at least 10 years ago.

In 2016, Dr. Reddick received media attention for hosting 12 senior advisors from the Obama administration at the Atlanta federal prison to hear a debate of three inmates with lengthy custodial sentences challenge a team of three Morehouse College undergraduates.

Tolbert offered tips as well, mentioning that he recently hired an ex-felon. Tolbert told the group of men that he believes in second chances.

“Always take 100 percent responsibility. Think like an owner. Play offense. Leave a legacy,” Tolbert said.

After giving motivating and inspiring highlights of their careers, the FedEx Corp. team conducted highly effective mock job interviews. Interestingly, the team provided critical feedback to the UNICOR inmates regarding their resumes content, eye contact, posture, communication skills, personal appearance, and overall job interview performance.

The team then viewed a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation about UNICOR Forrest City’s state-of-the-art equipment, and the various training inmates receive in the program.

A native of Jacksonville, Dr. Reddick is a licensed minister, author, publisher and motivational speaker. A Paxon Senior High graduate, Dr. Reddick attended Florida Community College at Jacksonville, Hillsborough Community College, as well as the Goshen Biblical Institute & Theological Seminary and NationsUniversity.

In July 2019, Dr. Reddick urged FedEx Corp. Executive Vice President and CFO Alan B. Graf, Jr. in a letter to visit the UNICOR inmates because they were more likely to find and keep meaningful employment, and hiring them can pay big dividends for his company.

Three months later, FedEx Corp. contacted Operational Accountant Marilyn Phelix who retired last December about Dr. Reddick’s letter, and the opportunity to visit the inmates in 2020.

Dr. Reddick’s personal story is worthy of a Charles Dickens novel, according to sources with knowledge of his situation.

Prior to his conviction in 2005 for engaging in an illegal check passing scheme, Dr. Reddick was a homeless man, living in his car. He says that was an “idiotic thing to do.”

Consequently, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, far from his family in Jacksonville, Florida.

He found himself in a gloomy place, surrounded by negativity and looking for a chance to help others who have taken wrong turns in life. It’s the kind of story prison staff members rarely see.

“I’m a proud, rehabilitated returning citizen,” Dr. Reddick said. “The things I’ve had to contend with have shaped me as a much better man and a much better person.”

In 2016, Dr. Reddick received media attention for hosting 12 senior advisors from the Obama administration at the Atlanta federal prison to hear a debate of three inmates with lengthy custodial sentences challenge a team of three Morehouse College undergraduates.

“We have so many barriers in place,” says Dr. Reddick of finding employment post-incarceration. “If I can change that, then my living won’t be in vain.”

To his credit, Dr. Reddick plans to bring other major U.S. companies to UNICOR such as Amazon and Walmart. He estimates these reentry events will help between 300 to 600 inmates a year. The men there, he added, will be able to take care of themselves and their families financially, helping to make communities safer.

A native of Jacksonville, Dr. Reddick is a licensed minister, author, publisher and motivational speaker. A Paxon Senior High graduate, Dr. Reddick attended Florida Community College at Jacksonville, Hillsborough Community College, as well as the Goshen Biblical Institute & Theological Seminary and NationsUniversity.

“It’s an effective way to help reduce high recidivism rates. I want to bring these companies in to benefit inmates scheduled to be release from custody within 6 months. That’s good for the prison, and it’s an awesome collaboration effort. It really provides inmates with hope, and it’s why I’m doing it,” Dr. Reddick said.

“I just thank God for having the full support of UNICOR General Manager Dennis Merrion. This is something that the Federal Bureau of Prisons should be excited about, and it all started with my letter.”

Houston entrepreneur Janelle Malone of Cultured Realty: ‘I had no choice but to use my gifts and follow my passions’

March 26, 2020 Andre Johnson

DALLAS — Janelle Malone was literally born into this ever-so-competitive world of entrepreneurship.

To her distinctly unique credit, she has steadfastly grabbed a firm hold of her awe-inspiring niche as an accomplished businesswoman.

For Malone, 42, her rise to entrepreneurship success began years ago under the tutelage of her beloved mother, who was a crafty and resourceful businesswoman in her own right.

LONE STAR SUCCESS

**BASKING IN GOD’S GLORY —** A native of nearby Fort Worth, Texas, Janelle Malone is co-owner of Cultured Realty, a Houston-based real estate company she oversees along with fellow business partner Raevonne Walker.

“Thanks to my mom, I was groomed early as a woman and an entrepreneur,” Malone told Making Headline News this week. “My mom ran a mobility impaired transportation company and she owned a cleaning service. I got married early in life, and my ex-husband was a serial entrepreneur. We owned two barber shops, two snow cone stands, and a lawn service. I had no choice but to use my gifts and follow my passions.”

All things considered, Malone didn’t just aggressively put her immeasurable God-given “passions” on display but, to her credit, she’s now taking that about which she was taught and passing along such keen knowledge to others.

A native of nearby Fort Worth, Texas, Malone is co-owner of Cultured Realty, a Houston-based real estate company she oversees along with fellow business partner Raevonne Walker.

As one of the masterminds of a company that went into operations on February 8, 2020, Malone works in a variety of roles, most notably as a real estate broker, licensed real estate instructor, and productivity coach, among others.

As Malone explains, that she has been afforded the golden opportunity to fortify her assortment of gifts in one of America’s most popular industries undoubtedly is a dream come true.

“God gave me a natural gift to educate, encourage, counsel, and assist others,” Malone, a graduate of Fort Worth’s Trimble Technical High School, said. “I wanted to have time with my children and my real estate career allowed me to be a great mom and never miss an event in their life. The constant push of living by faith has driven me to the person I am today.”

**MOM KNOWS BEST —** For Malone, 42, her rise to entrepreneurship success began years ago under the tutelage of her beloved mother, who was a crafty and resourceful businesswoman in her own right.

After graduating high school, Malone subsequently earned an Associate’s Degree from my associates degree from Tarrant County Community College. Her professional experience in real estate spans two decades, a stint that includes this native Texan having started her own brokerage firm in her native establishment.

Interestingly, Malone joined Keller Williams Realty in 2015 during which she assumed roles as a coach and trainer which, much to her delight, allowed this business coaching guru to train and empower agents nationwide.

“I’m a real estate broker and I coach agents to success,” said Malone who, along with working alongside Walker as the faces of Cultured Realty, teaches courses at Champions Real Estate School a few times a month.

“I create a positive growth environment that allows me to shape agents’ mindset and real new levels, both personally and in their business,” said Malone, explaining what she loves the most about her profession, which caters mostly to individuals ranging in ages 29 to 52. “I can grow through others. I have a natural ability to reach the unreachable and teach the unreachable.”

**TEAM TEXAS —** As one of the masterminds of a company that went into operations on February 8, 2020, Malone works in a variety of roles, most notably as a real estate broker, licensed real estate instructor, and productivity coach, among others.

By and large, Cultured Realty has is thoroughly committed to empowering like-minded professionals to become a better version of themselves, a trend that practically sums up its rapid — and continuous — growth since its recent inception.

“I want to help people break through barriers that have held back imbedded potential,” Malone said. “(I want to help them) reach heights that can change and disrupt generational curses in their families, leave legacies, and live a life by design.”

In acknowledging God first and foremost for her sustained success, Malone doesn’t shy away from the notion that she was blessed mightily to have at her disposal people who helped steer her in the right direction.

**YOU GO GIRL!!!!!** As Malone explains, that she has been afforded the golden opportunity to fortify her assortment of gifts in one of America’s most popular industries undoubtedly is a dream come true.

“He always put someone in my path to help and support, and they almost always were better than they came,” Malone said. “My ex-husband made me believe that I could orchestrate my own destiny and my small wins were my confirmations.”

Today, unlike never before, Malone’s primary focus is centered largely helping others to press and navigate their way to entrepreneurship success.

“When I help others grow, I grow,” Malone said. “I am charged to use my gifts so I don’t disappoint God and I make a good use of my skills. I have so much to share and most of it comes naturally. I believe that you are as strong as your weakest link. It’s selfish to be able to help and you don’t.”

Spoken like a true and long-standing business professional, was literally born into this ever-so-competitive world of entrepreneurship.

Houston businesswoman Raevonne Walker’s Cultured Realty growing in unprecedented numbers

March 26, 2020 Andre Johnson

MAKING MAJOR STRIDES

**DOING IT BIG IN TEXAS —** An accomplished businesswoman who boasts a remarkably solid and immeasurable entrepreneurship tenure, **Raevonne Walker** is co-owner of Cultured Realty, a Houston-based real estate company she runs along with fellow business partner Janelle Malone.

DALLAS — When Raevonne Walker and her son packed up and relocated from Minnesota to Texas some 15 years ago, what they had ultimately discovered was that such a move was a prodigious blessing in disguise.

Prior to their bolting the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, Walker was informed by doctors that her son, Jahyier, was diagnosed with a rare heart defect, thus suggesting that they relocate to the southern region of the country, considering her son had been hampered by what she described as “some underlying issues.”

Given the severe circumstances surrounding her son’s health, not only was the move essential in many aspects but, much to the delight of Walker, it turned out to be a precursor, of sorts, to her having connected with the divine purpose for which she was created.

An accomplished businesswoman who boasts a remarkably solid and immeasurable entrepreneurship tenure, Walker is co-owner of Cultured Realty, a Houston-based real estate company she runs along with fellow business partner Janelle Malone.

A rising establishment that is located at 2611 Cypress Creek Parkway, Suite A101 in Houston and is less than two months removed from having gone into full operations, one would hard-pressed to believe this company is in its infancy stages, considering it’s already enjoying a considerable amount of growth.

During a phone interview with Making Headline News this week, Walker said Cultured Realty has compiled a team of 41 agents since its inception and that she’s hopeful such rapid growth continues.

A company that was founded on February 8, 2020, Walker — who was fixture for years for Keller Williams Realty — emphasized, among other things, that Cultured Realty is aiming to acquire 150 agents by the time the company reaches its six-month anniversary.

“It was a different situation, because with me coming from Keller Williams, I pretty much knew what I wanted to do,” Walker told MHN. (I told my business partner) we have all of what we need to start a company.”

**ALL-STAR TEAM —** Part of helping agents to diligently discover a better version of themselves falls under the Business Coaching umbrella of Cultured Realty. Through this entity, in fact, Walker and Malone customarily shepherd agents through a wide range of empowerment sessions, many of which are geared toward helping them devise strategic plans to create and achieve specific goals and ambitions, coupled with what Walker refers to as some much-needed “accountability.”

As Walker recalls, her rise to professional real estate success was spearheaded in large part by her son’s unlikely diagnosis, coupled with a whole lot of faith.

“It was amazing,” Walker said of her ceremonious exit from Minnesota to the Lone Star State, a development that had ultimately given way to considerable progress in her son’s health. “He started playing football. He scored the first touchdown for his new high school. He was ranked (nationally) in gymnastics.”

Aside from Jahyier having evolved and flourished as a multi-sport athlete, Walker, meanwhile, began moving ever so closely to her purpose as gifted real estate professional, a God-orchestrated discovery she doesn’t merely take lightly.

“If we wouldn’t have moved, I wouldn’t have started this company,” Walker said. “I wouldn’t have gotten married. I wouldn’t have had two more children. (This move) changed my life completely.”

One of Houston’s finest real estate ventures that boasts a diverse cast of leaders who are committed to building business through strong alliances, Cultured Realty has reaped sustained success, in large part because it thrives off of empowering agents to believe the unbelievable, think the unthinkable, and achieve the unachievable.

How else to explain why its mission is centered largely on Agents building agents with systems that work?

As for the rapid growth within a company whose best and brightest days are seemingly well ahead of it, Walker is confident such a trend is a continuous sign of things to come.

RAISING THE BAR

**MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE —** Given the severe circumstances surrounding her son’s health, not only was the move essential in many aspects but, much to the delight of Walker, it turned out to be a precursor, of sorts, to her having connected with the divine purpose for which she was created.

“To me, it’s not mind-boggling,” said Walker, alluding to the number of agents her company has acquired in such a brief time frame. “The growth doesn’t make that big of a deal to me. The growth in the individual is what’s more important.”

All things considered, part of helping agents to diligently discover a better version of themselves falls under the Business Coaching umbrella of Cultured Realty.

Through this entity, in fact, Walker and Malone customarily shepherd agents through a wide range of empowerment sessions, many of which are geared toward helping them devise strategic plans to create and achieve specific goals and ambitions, coupled with what Walker refers to as some much-needed “accountability.”

“I’m always trying to be better than myself,” said Walker, a progressive, thriving businesswoman whose entrepreneurship reputation is such that she’s thoroughly committed to ensuring that like-minded professionals follow suit.

What a massive difference a relocation has made.

**ON THE MOVE —** A rising establishment that is located at 2611 Cypress Creek Parkway, Suite A101 in Houston and is less than two months removed from having gone into full operations, one would hard-pressed to believe this company is in its infancy stages, considering it’s already enjoying a considerable amount of growth.

Baltimore-area author Debrayta Salley relishing God’s amazing grace through her latest book

March 21, 2020 Andre Johnson

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV)

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

**AMAZING GRACE —** A native of Baltimore, Debrayta Salley is the mastermind behind the spiritually-empowering book entitled, “Grace FULL Seasons Anthology: Stories of Triumph, Victory And God’s Faithfulness Through the Seasons of Life.”

Because of whom she is and because of where God is taking her, Debrayta Salley didn’t just write the vision down and make it plain on the figurative tablet of her heart.

More than anything, she has diligently taken the vision and run with it.

“God gave me a glimpse of the vision for an anthology in 2012,” Salley, during a recent interview with Making Headline News, said, recalling the memorable developments that contributed mightily to her latest authorship milestone.

Much to her delight, Salley’s awe-inspiring vision — or her God-mandated topic, per se — didn’t come full circle until sometime in 2018.

A native of Baltimore, Salley is the mastermind behind the spiritually-empowering book entitled, “Grace FULL Seasons Anthology: Stories of Triumph, Victory And God’s Faithfulness Through the Seasons of Life.”

A MUST READ — A written work that is comprised of 100 pages in length, Salley’s “Grace FULL Seasons Anthology: Stories of Triumph, Victory And God’s Faithfulness Through the Seasons of Life” appropriately issues a pivotal remind to God’s people.

A book that is comprised of six brilliantly gifted authors, Salley’s Christian-based book is roughly a month removed from its much-anticipated release date, a feat that is a true testament of her immeasurable contributions to the Body of Christ.

“The main reason that I brought these ladies together for this writing project was to provide an outlet for them to tell their stories for their personal satisfaction and, most of all, for God’s glory,” said Salley, explaining what was the single, most underlying reason she chose to produce her latest book.

KINGDOM CONNECTED

That is, “In everything, there is a season,” said a spokesperson for Salley’s latest project at Amazon.com. “Whether your current place in life is indicative of the winter, spring, summer or fall seasons, never forget that God walks with us through them all.

“He will never leave you nor forsake you,” Salley writes, steadily reinforcing God’s splendor to His people through her newest book. “He will also extend to you a priceless gift: a measure of grace to sustain and strengthen you through it all.”

Salley’s “Grace FULL Seasons Anthology: Stories of Triumph, Victory And God’s Faithfulness Through the Seasons of Life” is her seventh book dating back to 2010, including four she composed in consecutive years from 2015 to 2018.

“Our decisions and connections must always be God-led, inspired and divinely aligned and never motivated by the quest for recognition or acceptance.” — Author Debrayta Salley

“After writing my memoir in 2012 (Back To The Scene Of The Crime: Breaking Unfruitful Patterns By Bringing Hidden Things To Light), I became aware of just how powerful it is to tell your story in your own words and on your own terms,” said Salley, an accomplished Biblical Life Coach, Inspirational Speaker, and Wellness Advocate. “Not only does it promote a sense of healing, renewal, and freedom for the writer, but it becomes medicine for someone else that may be encountering a similar situation.”

A book that is comprised of six brilliantly gifted authors, Salley’s Christian-based book is roughly a month removed from its much-anticipated release date, a feat that is a true testament of her immeasurable contributions to the Body of Christ.

As for her latest written work, Salley began assembling her chapter sometime in 2018, then subsequently compiled a team of authors in July 2019, a trend that has given way to a rather intriguing work of art.

“This book is related to my God-given purpose, because it provides a safe space for women to step out of their comfort zones, out of fear, and any shame they may have been holding onto about certain seasons of their journeys,” Salley explained. “(I’m committed to) supporting them in embracing the uniqueness of their stories.”

Salley said other books are surely forthcoming, much sooner than later.

Salley’s *“Grace FULL Seasons Anthology: Stories of Triumph, Victory And God’s Faithfulness Through the Seasons of Life”* is her seventh book dating back to 2010, including four she composed in consecutive years from 2015 to 2018.

“I have a few book projects that God has downloaded in my spirit, but I haven’t begun to assemble them yet,” Salley said. “Stay tuned. I’m certain that there are many speaking engagements in my future. However, in this current season, my primary focus is on rebuilding my life mentally, physically, and spiritually…shoring up my foundation so-to-speak, so that it’s secure enough to withstand all that’s to come. I’m expecting great things.”

Amongst the biggest reasons, by all accounts, is that more than anything, she has diligently taken the vision and run with it.

With God, her Helper, steering the way.

GOD’S LEADING LADY

“This book is related to my God-given purpose, because it provides a safe space for women to step out of their comfort zones, out of fear, and any shame they may have been holding onto about certain seasons of their journeys,” Salley explained. “(I’m committed to) supporting them in embracing the uniqueness of their stories.”

TEN-NES-SEE THIS WOMAN OF EXCELLENCE

Although it is one of the city’s most poverty-stricken establishments, a number of individuals are proud to call South Memphis home.

Memphian Marquita Williams undoubtedly is one of them.

“Raised in South Memphis,” Williams told Making Headline News during a recent interview.

To her distinctly unique credit, Williams has, in turn, has made the Bluff City proud, notably as a thriving and flourishing entrepreneur.

A 2001 graduate of the Memphis’ historic and now-defunct George Washington Carver High School, Williams has made immeasurable strides as a fixture for Revenge Body Bar Medspa, a Mid-South-area venture where women customarily come for company officials describe as “a body that they once had or a body that they never had.”

MORE ON MARQUITA’S VENTURE: https://www.revengebodybarmedspa.com/

Located at 3242 Players Club Circle, Suite 4 in Memphis, Revenge Body Bar MedSpa has become widely known as your one stop shop for non-invasive body treatments, weight loss therapy, vitamin shots, and IV hydration therapy.

A company that is nearing its one year anniversary on April 1, Revenge Body Bar MedSpa has become a fixture in the Mid-South, in large part because is it a medical weight loss ran facility, one that’s owned and operated by Williams and an accomplished medical professional.

**HOLDIN’ IT DOWN —** To her distinctly unique credit, Williams has, in turn, has made the Bluff City proud, notably as a thriving and flourishing entrepreneur.

Much to Williams’ delight, her rise to entrepreneurship success came at the disposal of a variety of like-minded business professionals, most notably fellow Memphian and current Atlanta businesswoman Candance Holyfield, who’s widely known as the “Six Figure Spa Chick.”

“She travels all across the world teaching spa professionals how to create and operate a successful business,” Williams said of Holyfield, who’s believed to be the leader of the largest African-American spa professional venture in the United States called Spa Boss Tribe.

Interestingly, Williams certainly boasts the educational credentials, which have greatly afforded her the golden opportunities to function mightily in her element.

Much to Williams’ delight, her rise to entrepreneurship success came at the disposal of a variety of likeminded business professionals, most notably fellow Memphian and current Atlanta businesswoman Candance Holyfield, who’s widely known as the “Six Figure Pack Chick.”

Williams earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from LeMoyne-Owen College in 2007, and then followed that up with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Baptist College of Health Science.

Consequently, she graduated from Walden University in 2016 with a Master of Science in Nursing, with an emphasis to become a Family Nurse Practitioner.

She’s currently pursuing an MBA at Walden University and is scheduled to earn it later this year.

“As a nurse, I’ve worked countless hours taking care of people,” Williams said. “I knew it was something so much more for me to do than to continue at the bedside. I was tired of the same thing every day.”

Something eventually had to give, Williams said.

“I was missing important things such as family events, activities with my kids, not spending enough time with my kids…basically I was burned out and knew I was underpaid,” Williams recalled. “I started doing my research on what can I could get into doing while utilizing my nursing degree.”

Fortunately for Williams, she ultimately came across a rather unique and effective strategy while weighing her career options.

“I ran across IV Hydration therapy and I was shocked that this could be done outside the hospital doors,” Williams said. “I found me a class to take and went from there. But even at that moment, I knew that wasn’t the only thing I wanted to do.”

That, to her credit, is why she still deemed it essential to keep her options open.

BLUFF CITY SENSATION

A company that is nearing its one year anniversary April 1, Revenge Body Bar MedSpa has become a fixture in the Mid-South, in large part because is it a medical weight loss ran facility, one that’s owned and operated by Williams and an accomplished medical professional.

“As I began my weight loss journey in becoming a healthier me, I ran across non-invasive lipo procedures,” Williams explained. “I did more research on it. I was like, ‘Okay, people really could use these procedures.’ They are safe and an alternative to surgery, (so I said) ‘Let me get into this ASAP.’ Found my classes and went from there.”

And the rest, as they say, was history.

Today, unlike never before, Williams is not only walking in her divine purpose but, most of all, she’s garnered a new, carefree lease on life.

“It is important to inspire others, because my purpose is not for me, it’s for the people,” Williams said. “I want people to know that if you can think it, you can achieve it. It all starts with a desire.”

Well and appropriately said by one of South Memphis’ own.

Georgia author Dr. Estella Dior’s “You Were Destined To Survive” impacting a generation one life at a time

March 14, 2020 Andre Johnson

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18 NIV)

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

**A MUST READ —** A book that was officially released in October 2019, Dr. Estella Dior’s “You Were Destined To Survive” depicts the lives of a number of women, many of whom have not only survived some of the most horrific traumas anyone can experience, but much to their delight, they were blessed to have overcome that through which they had endured.

While addressing the media Saturday morning, Dr. Estella Dior wasted little time issuing a rather direct message, coupled with a pivotal reminder to her fellow sistas.

So ya might wanna take heed.

“The single reason was to uplift and empower others (women) to know your past doesn’t determine your future,” Dior during an exclusive interview with Making Headline News, said, explaining vividly what fueled her fervent desire to become an empowerment author.

A Brunswick, Georgia-based author who’s had to press and navigate her way through a rash of obstacles — notably molestation, rape, teen pregnancy, and depression, among other turmoil — Dr. Dior deemed it essential to share of her spiritually-empowering testimonies with the recent release of her book entitled, “You Were Destined To Survive.”

BUY DR. DIOR’S BOOK HERE: https://www.amazon.com/Were-Destined-Survive-Estella-Dior/dp/1701682907

According to a detailed introduction at Amazon.com, Dr. Dior’s book is appropriately described as a “compilation of stories,” many of which will take readers on a ride through the lives of 12 women who have gone to great lengths to share what this brilliant writer describes as their “darkest secrets,” or those “dark moments” that subsequently led them to truly walking and living in their light.

“One thing each of these women has in common is that they are true overcomers and they refuse to allow the toughest circumstances keep them down,” said an Amazon spokesperson for Dr. Dior’s “You Were Destined To Survive.’ “The only time you’ll find these women kneeling is to pray and give thanks to God for bringing them so far.”

A book that is comprised of 177 pages in lengths, Dr. Dior began composing “You Were Destined To Survive” sometime in January 2017 and needed somewhere in the neighborhood of a year and a half to complete a project that will be on display during her upcoming book signing April 4 at 6 p.m. EST at the newly-erected La Quinta by Wyndham Brunswick/Golden Isles, located at 100 Capital Square Drive in Brunswick.

When asked what the single is, most underlying reason she elected to write “You Were Destined To Survive,” Dr. Dior, a native of Miami, said: “In life, we all have struggles called survival moments. But that’s when God will reach way down to pull you from your valley experiences.”

A Brunswick, Georgia-based author who’s had to press and navigate her way through a rash of obstacles — notably molestation, rape, teen pregnancy, and depression, among other turmoil — Dr. Dior deemed it essential to share of her spiritually-empowering testimonies with the recent release of her book entitled, “You Were Destined To Survive.”

Dr. Dior’s “You Were Destined To Survive” is her third published work to date.

In 2005, she made her authorship debut when she wrote “Everyday Grace, Everyday Miracles.” Consequently, she released “Diary Of A Street Princess” in 2013.

Now that she’s approximately six months removed from having witnessed the release of Book No. 3, chances are Dr. Dior will write and release other books as a strategic way to encourage and empower the masses, not to mention as an effective way to advance the kingdom mightily.

“This book is the sole purpose of God creating me, to empower, uplift and share my journey,” said Dr. Dior, adding that her memoir entitled, ‘I had To Die To Live Again’ is presently in the works. “The feedback has been amazing and (readers have told me) it’s helping and empowering and really inspiring them.”

Interestingly, a vital portion of Dr. Dior’s story includes having once been incarcerated with Alice Marie Johnson, whom actress Kim Kardashian reportedly helped garner clemency after she was sentenced to life in prison for a nonviolent drug offense in 1996.

“I also did time with Mint Pearl Thomas, and Tina, which are D. Thomas’ mother and grandmother,” Dr. Dior recalled. “To witness God move in these women’s lives, to be given life and two life sentences and to see day light. (This is why I want to) help express the stories I’m sharing, that even in our survival moments, (God’s) there.”

So ya might wanna take heed.
