For all that we talk about self-confidence and self-acceptance, insecurity never really seems to go away, does it? Well, it can. In this book therapist and etiquette teacher Loretta A. Morman shares with you her insight on how to overcome misconceptions many girls of color have about their own selves. Various messages reach us from marketing and advertising companies, through different forms of entertainment, mainstream culture and even our own family and friends. However, those messages aren't always true or right. There are ways to take care of yourself with love and devotion, habits and perspectives that will take you to new places of validation and esteem, ones you never thought you would reach. Morman will tell you what God's word says about beauty and give you practical advice on how to be the best version of yourself-which is the most beautiful thing of all. A graduate of Michigan State University (B.A. in psychology) and University of Chicago (M.A. in Social Service Administration), Loretta has definitely prepared herself educationally to gain the proper training to fulfill what she believes she has been called to do...help motivate young people to live beyond the boundaries of their cultures and exceed the limits of their environments.
