I am busy planning my future book tour and can't wait to meet and inspire even more of my readers in the days to come!

I was honored to have been asked to speak at Columbia University (yes, the Ivy League school in Manhattan!) twice!!.
I had a speaking engagement and meet-and-greet with so many wonderful people and The New York City Insider picked up the story.
