Freedom means being able to wake up every morning and loving who we are, loving the person in the mirror, and accepting the created of God. Loving ourselves in such a way that we are no longer bound by shame, guilt, and feelings of inadequacy. We have moved past the slavery and entrapment of "She Thinks" to the freedom of "She Knows". When a woman knows her worth her boundaries are limitless. She knows she is valuable and deserving of respect. She has broken the cycle of thinking she is not worthy; she has learned to stop underestimating her capabilities. Her life experiences have helped her to understand who she is, who she was created to be, and who is the Master of her steps. A woman who knows her worth understands that being tired does not make her weak; being strong does not affect her femininity; being single does not mean she is alone; or that being humble does not mean she is a doormat. She can stride through life knowing that she can move mountains with just the sway of her hips, the curl of her lips, the slant of her eyes, and the meeting of her thighs. A woman who knows her worth is a force to be reckoned with because she has survived her story and she courageously keeps pushing forward; living her best life in positivity and unapologetically.

This book is a collection of conversations to help deal with the everyday dynamics of life. It is meant to inspire the readers when faced with challenges, as well as developing a closeness with God through the scriptures. While the conversations may have some motivating moments, it is really more a collective work of inspirations. So you ask, what is the difference? I've heard it said that motivation is PUSHING people but inspiration is PULLING something out of people. If I'm motivating you, I'm having to push you to do something you don't want to do. If I'm inspiring you, I'm pulling something out of you to do what you always wanted to do but may not had the courage to do. Conversations which inspire are meant to excite, encourage, or breathe life into. It is a desire that everyone who reads these conversations will go away inspired and challenged to be better and changed to do better.

Why do women feel the need to compete, compare, undermine, and undercut one another? Why do we feel on guard and on the defensive with other women? We all are adequate; we all are unique; we all are brilliant, gorgeous, fabulous, and talented in our own right. Too often we make unfounded presumptions about one another. We become mind readers. When we attempt to read someone''s mind, we assume we know what they think or feel without direct evidence. Mind-reading often leads to confusion, resentment, and frustration and sets the stage for "she thinks." How many of you have heard the term in reference to yourself, "she thinks," and the sadder aspect of it, how many of us have said it about our sistahs. Each one of us has the power to break that stereotype, to start engaging in honest dialogue about, "she thinks." I invite each of you as you read this book to delve into your psyche to understand where and why this mindset starts, so that we can begin to break the cycle of "she thinks."
