Coming on the heels of Lupita Nyong'o's rise to fame, "Whose Shoes Are You Wearing? 12 Steps to Uncovering the Woman You Really Want To Be" (ISBN: 9780996097802; Kkula Media; Paperback; May 13, 2014) written by East African sisters, Christine K. St. Vil and Julian B. Kiganda, pulls no punches, offering readers a unique and practical guide to self discovery and authentic living.
Nyong'o's own East African heritage played a major role in her personal struggle with self love, as well as her triumph of self acceptance, and finding success in embracing all of what has made her a unique individual. St. Vil and Kiganda can relate -- they experienced many of the same challenges as Africans growing up in America that Nyong'o has openly spoken about. Reconciling these issues, coupled with the universal themes of self love; finding your purpose and passion; trusting your spirit; and, learning to walk confidently in your own shoes, is what makes this book a must-have for anyone ready to live their lives boldly and fearlessly. The book addresses issues faced by women of color on a daily basis, including how to integrate culture and heritage with the woman they aspire to be. "Whose Shoes Are You Wearing?" gives readers powerful insights from a spiritual perspective regarding the need to find and fit into their own God-given shoes.Videos
