If we have learnt nothing else during 2020, We Are Stronger together💞 Whether it’s fighting the invisible enemy Corona Virus or challenging Racial Inequality or Fundraising for the NHS & Key-workers, we have come together to make a difference. 

Whilst I continue to do my part for these campaigns I wanted to do something special for Black History Month, specifically for Authors, Independent Bookshops & Black Voices. My campaign is a Free Book Drive!

I have been supporting Independent Book Shops who are committed to promoting Books by Black British Authors by donating free copies of my Book ‘Cinderella’, I Wish!  By Dominiquè DeVeraux

I am Calling All Authors & Independent Bookshops to join this Free Book Drive....... Be part of the drive for change in your local book shop, while providing tangible support to independent booksellers during this economically challenging time. 

 It’s really easy to get involved...

Authors

If you are an Author wanting to donate one or more of your books, simply contact a indie bookshop & ask if they want to join the Free Book Drive, when they say ‘Yes’ you give them a copy of your book.

Independent Bookshop

For independent Bookseller wanting to be part of the Free Book Drive, just say ‘Yes’, when an Author asks you if you want to take part. Or contact your wishlist Authors & ask them to take part in the Free Book Drive.

My hope is a new dawn in the book world when Black British Authors are valued & promoted as a commodity of the wonderfully rich & diverse tapestry of British history & society.

For more information or to ask a question about my Free Book Drive complete the contact form or send me an email cinderellaiwish@gmail.com

The catalyst for my search for a new way of life was crystallised when I realised that my relationship & drive for success was killing me slowly. 

Some how my measure of success was based on the life I created for others rather than how I felt. Don’t get me wrong I could see red flags but my self confidence had eroded to the point that I allowed my friends & family to convince me that the red flags were actually scarves. 

But 5 years ago, I realised if I didn’t make a serious change in my life I would die needlessly. Even with my incremental changes my mind continued to be scrambled with continued thinking. I felt unable to silence my mind, until I read The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle. This book has taught me how to control my thoughts & ultimately my mind.

Over the past 12 years I have batted with weight gain caused by medication and again this year my new year resolution was to lose some weight & improve my sense of well-being. By the grace of God, Keto Diet, grit & determination. I have done it! I’m nearly back to my old slimmer self. I’m size 10/12 from a size 16, in just 5 months! But more importantly, I feel great & I have improved my health including my BP is at an all time low... I feel fabulous! Check out Keto Diet
