Over the past four decades ESSENCE introduced our readers to
inspirational voices such as Susan L. Taylor (In the Spirit; Lessons in
Living; All About Love); and New York Times Best-Sellers Iyanla Vanzant ("In
the Meantime," and "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up"), Juanita Bynum
("Matters of the Heart"), and Bishop T.D. Jakes ("Before You Do" and
"Reposition Yourself"). Now, ESSENCE is pleased to share an incredible new
uplifting and empowering voice with its 7.5 million readers and book lovers
everywhere. In the tradition of Iyanla Vanzant's blockbuster 1993 book Acts
of Faith: Daily Meditations for People of Color, ESSENCE is pleased to
collaborate with powerhouse musician Ledisi for a soulful and enlightening
collection of the singer's inspiring meditations, quotes, and anecdotes
charting her astonishing transformation as a woman and an artist.
Ledisi, who has been described as having a mix of Tina Turner's energy, Nina
Simone's brilliance, and Ella Fitzgerald's range, is a multiple Grammy
nominee who has quickly connected with ESSENCE readers because of her
authenticity and tenacity to strive for success on her own terms.
