LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE EVENT!: A WORKSHOP WITH KYONNA BROWN
Presenter: Kyonna Brown (Blessed Hands: A Pathway to Forgiveness)
Time: 11:00 a. m. - 12:00 p. m.
Location: Harlem State Office Building Plaza, Author Talk Tent
In my prison cell, I had to forgive myself. I was upset and angry, but if I had not looked beyond my incarceration, I would have not realized that I was there to find my purpose. And it begins with forgiveness. Forgiveness allows you to have a superpower that only you possess. The power to be free. One should attend this workshop to understand the true vision of forgiveness. Forgiveness is tied to the emotion of anger and can take your life on a path of destruction.
Do you think situations of forgiveness comes against you or for you? Life doesn’t happen to us, it happens for us. Attendees will learn how to take life’s adverse situations and use them to become better until they get to their best. Forgiveness allows you to change your perceptions and grow.

How can you ensure that your book reaches a buyers' screen?
