"This is my riveting and magical memoir of how on March 19, the world I existed uncomfortably in abruptly changed. On that day a beautiful Nubian woman draped in turquoise and silver with braids and no shoes appeared to me and instructed that I have a picture painted and gift a copy to each woman on it. Not a big deal except the women was singers Nancy Wilson, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Maysa Leak, Lalah Hathaway, Ledisi Young and Lizz Wright. Read how the universe lined up for me to meet these greats in such miraculous ways and within 5 months. Be amazed at how this Great Mother was responsible for a 1999 painting and the esteemed women I was able to meet from that picture. In this book you will find a story of transformation, amazing pictures taken on this journey, therapeutic friendships and some of the remarkable works of these great tone masters. I also list some of their sacred songs and books that helped me to "Know Thyself", and open my heart so that I could heal, care, and love again."
