Overview

This book is not your typical ""brown girl"" tear-jerker sob story highlighting how a girl who was born and raised in a misogynist culture was mistreated and abused as she grew up .... in a society where girls are considered socially and economically disadvantaged as compared to their male counterparts. At her university graduation, where she graduated in the upper half of her class as a software engineer, the author of this book was titled ""The Iron Lady"" by her classmates. She went on to experience a spiritual transformation of sorts that influenced her to make some major life-changing decisions at a very young age, which defied the social and cultural status quo for young women hailing from her demographic, leading her to be scoffed at and marginalized by her elders and peers alike. Deserted by her extended family in a ghetto for over a decade, left to survive in a neighborhood crawling with streetwalkers, drug peddlers, blue-collar wage earners, and café-hopping night owls, she decided to turn her life around by writing and documenting her thoughts and insights online, which criss-crossed between faith, self-transformation, psychological resilience, and motivational grit. She might not be the next Maya Angelou or Oprah, but her story of going from a ""brown girl"" jilted for her adherence to her beliefs, to an international self-published author representing her faith and ethnicity on a global scale, is worth more than just a cursory read! This is a book about surviving against the odds. Having the guts to go against the mainstream. Taking a dignified stand against the majority. Refusing to conform to the status quo. Abolishing stereotypes and swimming against the tide. Breaking free from societal shackles to become emancipated. Liberated. Unfettered. And free..... at last.
