“If Time heals all wounds,” . . .
. . . why does mine feel so fresh and painful after so many years?” Why am I trapped into a false identity? Why do I still feel hurt from all the names I was called as a child? Why am I stuck in my past? Why do I struggle so much with low self esteem? Many ask these questions, but few get an answer. The False Label Series responds in a bold, practical, and strategic way. Since God loves us and is for us, and created each and every one of us so unique and special, and has a plan for our lives which is prosperity and not disaster, life can be a fun adventure, one we’re free to enjoy, not one requiring us to live in pain, bitterness and low self esteem .This series interacts with common questions, offers next steps, and simplifies complex ideas.

What is False Labels anyway?
It is a system that helps people reclaim their authentic power, evolve faster, heal, transform, and live satisfying, fulfilling lives.
False Labels is a new, truly revolutionary how-to book, for people like you and I who love the human potential movement and seek a game-changing approach to self-discovery, self-acceptance, love of life, and reality creation
It’s about those lies we are told by the people in our lives—mothers, fathers, brother, sisters, friends, teachers etc about who they think we are or what we ought to be. But because Only God determines our destiny and not man, we need to wear the labels He has for us like victor not victim, like unique and special, chosen, blessed, beautiful, etc.
If we are not standing for the right values and principle, that’s a lost for the world
There is no more appreciation for women intellectuals’ because it’s all about the body and not the brain.
Fl takes the stand that the media is portraying women’s primary values as their youth, beauty and sexuality – rather than their capacity as future leaders.
Women are brought up to be fundamentally insecure
Who are these books for?
Many want a healthy self esteem, fulfillment in their lives, active faith, many want to be set free from a stronghold that has held them back for so long, many want answers as to why they have been called all sort of names or labeled as not good enough, but feel ill-equipped to achieve that goal. The False Label Series is the perfect resource for people from all works of live who are struggling with low self esteem, those stuck in the pains of their past, those who have heeded to these false labels and have ended on the side lines of life, feeling washed out and drowning in self-pity and low self esteem
And those wandering why they are here on earth for. Whether you’re taking your first steps, gaining a big-picture overview of who are and your life’s purpose, or looking for fulfillment in your life, this series will help. It’s more than just a book. It’s a guide; not with instructions, but full of exercises. A book not only to read but to write in, like a journal with spaces for you to write your discoveries, to track your progress and to map your new path! A guide for you to experiment a set of different proposals which I drafted based on a lot of stories that I have compiled from my experiences and those of many others. All in all, I want the book to be a companion for you in your quest to design the life style that matches that of your dreams! They’re great books to read on your own, but they’re even better when read and discussed in a group.
Why self publish?
As the changing economy forces the publishing industry to morph, first-time authors face a growing challenge. If you’re not already well-known (i.e., have a significant ‘platform’), publishers are less likely to invest in you. It’s more economically feasible for them to publish a known commodity than the unknown lady. Well this unknown lady refuses to give up on a dream God has placed in her hands. That’s where you come in.
What have I done so far?
Sent out free copies of my books to people of all ages
Have been responsible for marketing and promoting my books and my presentations
Have attended the best women’s conference in New York
Have done presentations (speaking engagements) in churches and youth groups in New York where I leave.
Currently planning and working on offering one-day free workshops to girls in my community.
It’s been the most amazing self publishing two full books both of which have been best sellers on Amazon kindle, with the third book to be release in two weeks. But now is the time for me to boost up my exposure visibility and sales both on and off line. The thing is, I’ve spent ALL of my savings, all the money I get from my regular job as a nurse to get these books out. There are over 80% of people both young and old who are stuck in some identity they never asked for. There are an incredible number of teenage mothers around the world who have been considered forgotten. They need those methods and practices outline in these books.
This is where your help comes in.
Finding my true calling in writing and speaking has given me healing. It’s been a very therapeutic journey. But there is even something that will mean the world to me, getting these books and its message to those that need throughout the world
The Impact
We are living in very difficult moment but it’s even tougher for young women and girls all over the world especially with the media’s definition of true beauty and with people in our live who have their own definition of who they think we are or what we should be. So many people both young and old are wrapped and caught up in these beliefs and trapped in trends and fashions that make them to act in different ways. Most people drift through life without knowing who they are or their life’s purpose. Every one of us has a story where we are walking around feeling limited or small or not good enough.
But!!!
The False Label Series
-Re-defines beauty as not just a thing of mere looks but as something that comes from the inside out.
-A thing of not only our bodies but our brains.
-Teaches people from all works of life to find their inner strength instead of trying to fit into the status-Quo. No child of God is perfect so no need to fight to fit in or be perfect.Hey! Children of God don’t fit in, they stand out.
-The books will be used as a vehicle for hope, inspiration, encouragement and awareness.
-Women will begin to connect with God or deepen their current relationship with Him.
- This will result in a greater confidence, stronger self-esteem and the finding of purpose for their lives.
-Armed with that, women are less likely to fall into abusive relationships, depression, isolation, negative self-talk, sexual indiscretions or living up to the stereotypes of this world.
To break out of a barely get-by-life style and live your life to the fullest,
Stop going through life with self pity and low self esteem, focusing on the negative.
It teaches that we need to drop all those stories we have been told in order to become who God created us to be.
- To have courage to accept our imperfections and treat ourselves kindly
-To celebrate who we are joyfully, completely and with pride
-To know that God created everyone very unique and special
-To believe that we are God’s masterpiece and can brighten the whole world in and around you.
-And to believe we are enough because we are enough.

There are several exciting projects in the works which will be funded with the help of any additional revenue that comes through this fund-raising campaign. They include:
I intent to offer monthly 1-day free workshops, for girls and women in my community beginning next year (2013).

Each 1-day workshop will end with a sharing salon where participants will share some of the lessons they learned from the series and from other participants at the workshop.
Would you be willing to help this girl who refuses to be average, who has a passion to make a difference, and who has a plan to help spread the message of community, belonging, forgiveness, love, the love of God and acceptance to more people in our country and the world?

About me and the creation of the False Label Series
Two images from my childhood come rushing to mind when I think about the person I am today and why I am drawn to sharing my story with people all over the world. The first image was from the first time I was treated like an outcast and told by many that I will never amount to anything. Having a child as a teenager and out of wedlock is wrong but not as bad as to earn me the names I earned. The second image was from the way my son was treated. Not only did people call me useless for having a child out of wedlock, they transferred that unto to him and called him a bastard. That was so hurtful and destroying emotionally and completely damaged everything I ever had as self-worth.
Every time that I heard people call my son and I names, it reminded me of what I was not. During that period in my life I was uncomfortable, insecure and struggling. I was at war with myself .But one day, so tired of fighting with myself I decided to turn things the other way. I was determined to know why I was created and what my purpose in life is. While on a quest on finding out my purpose I started writing to myself (a journal). Gradually I noticed my journal was becoming a journey, not just a simple destination. They were real life happening at the moment. I’d completed two to three a week. They were thick and full and ripe with feelings and thoughts. Whenever I was down and read from my journals I felt like an angel was talking to me. It felt so uplifting. My own words became an inspiration to me. I was reminded of how important it is to believe in myself and remember that we are all created unique and special., I came to this wonderful self realization that I a masterpiece carefully handpicked by God. I am not a mistake, nor useless nor a failure, nor any of the other names I was called. I also realized I had to stand out instead of try to fit in. Then I decided to do what I am asking you today to do. To take off those old false labels and re-label yourself with what God says about you. He made you special and unique
People around me would read them and said: “Oh! I totally felt this way or I relate so much—”. I was fascinated with people’s truth, how they were perceived by others and how that didn’t necessarily jibe with what they felt. People would say: “you are so put together” but didn’t know what a struggle my life was. They also didn’t know how apart I was from myself. I wish there was a book like this when I was growing up. I had so many different struggles centered around negative belief system I had formed based on what other people said about me. This is a universal struggle. A friend who read from my journal related to my story so much. Then I decided to test it on girls from other parts of the world and they all related in one way or another. Then I knew I was not alone. I discovered who I am through this journey and what my true calling is on this earth.
I know women were relating to my daily struggles and triumphs as I walked with God. But how can we combat this? How can we empower our minds and spirits and the generation to come?
So the idea of having a strong voice became very confronting.
I made a pact to share my story with others because I believe only shared experiences help. I had to step out of my comfort zone and into a role I was unfamiliar with. Planning, writing and publishing a book on my own meant a very tough challenge in the real world, which was frightening at first, but once I gained confidence I embraced all challenges head on. So it was because of my own life’s challenges and experiences that I set out and swore to compile one of the best self-discovery frameworks I have ever seen. No ifs or buts. Why? Because I was fed up of—living my life based on what people thought about me. Personal growth is my passion, and I have looked at an endless amount of materials over the last seven years to confidently be able to make that statement. The series came to me synchronistic ally as I worked on my own life’s toughest inner challenges and experiences. And it rang true. And I tested and confirmed it against many credible sources.
In fact, I believe so much in this passion and the need for it in the world, that
I have decided to give this my full attention, answer my life calling (not just this book, but helping people reach their highest potential and live in harmony with Life).
The Ultimate Goal is…. /mission
Mission to help any girl who is on the verge of dropping out of school. Her goal: to provide them with social and financial support, enabling them to finish school and become leaders in their community.
No girl left behind because of names, or child birth, rape.
Anyways, when all is said and done, my target is to reach young women and girls from neighborhood in Bronx New York to the ones in the suburbs of Africa, India and Asia who have been considered the forgotten so as to help tip the scales and usher in a more compassionate world and one in which beauty in no longer defined based on physical appearance only but the what is in the brain. A world where people learn that they are ok just the way they are. By December 2013, my goal is to have directly or indirectly reached at least 13 million book readers, app users and movie viewers.
Share and Enjoy
We hear so much about the tragic consequences of bullying on television, in the newspapers, magazines and the radio. The lives of uncountable young people have been taken due to the primitive and vicious hands of bullies. We have also heard about the emotional scars that bullying leaves in the lives of its victims and the psychological torture . Very long before “bullying” became a world’s conversation, there were people like Rosemary, Delia,Lisa etc whom we met earlier in part one, who were faced with a gantlet of assault,teasing, taunting, humiliation and sexual harassment. They were denied meaningful parts of their lives, education and social privileges either because they were born with a disability or developed one somewhere in their lives. People treated them as if they are from another planet .But the children who famously were the ones causing others pain were advertised. No one saw any problem in it. The adults didn’t care just as is happening nowadays. They couldn’t be bothered, neither did they notice or actively participated. They could stand right by someone being bullied even to the point of death but will not say a word nor take any action.
