Woman Of Purpose Spotlight: Author-Tina Brown

Tina Brown has always thought of herself as being a little different from most people in terms of the way her mind works.  While it's true that she's an educated, professional, black woman, who has an AWESOME relationship with the LORD; she still struggles with truly understanding WHO she really is, beyond the labels that others have given her.

 Through the journey of authorship, she is beginning to appreciate her life experiences and recognize how it has shaped the many levels of her personality.

 But of course, in her own words: "I am still a work in progress!"
Currently, Tina Brown lives in Stroudsburg, PA with her daughter. She is  a Human Factors Engineer by day,  and an Author by night. Her first book, A Life Not My Own, is the story of her childhood and young adult life. There's love, loss, loneliness, triumph and more within the pages.
When you read her book, YOU will to feel as if you are just having a chat with the author. She said: "I want YOU to feel what I describe in the book. I want YOU to know that ALL things are possible with perseverance and God's help! My next story is created from conversations that my grandma and I have had over the years. So far, I like how the characters and the storyline are unfolding".

“A Life Not My Own”

Her memoirs take readers on the journey of her troubled childhood and exciting young adult life.  

When you read this extremely poignant book, expect to be touched as the words jump off the pages.

The book is available in eBook or paperback format through all the standard sites (Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and many more).

Her website offers autographed items, upcoming events, book swag and more!

Interview With Tina Brown:

1: Tell us a little about who Tina Brown is and what is your vision/mission:

I am Mom, FT worker, PT writer and Christian. I've always envisioned myself as a Helper. Doesn't matter what's involved.  I feel most at peace when I know that I've done the best I can at helping others.   I hope that my book will allow me to reach the many people who are struggling in so many different ways.  I want to provide words of encouragement, but more importantly, real (no joke) tools that can be used to over-come the obstacles they face... 

2: What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

There's just no getting around that fact that we need money to live.   For most of us, that means working for someone else.   That's OK, but at times, it can be emotionally and mentally exhausting.  I like the idea of doing my own thing, even if its only on a part-time basis to supplement my FT position, (which I love).

3: What advice would you give to women leaders who have gone into business or would like to, but do not know how to take the first step?

First, develop a realistic plan for achieving your goals, envision yourself achieving those goals, and surround yourself with positive people. Too often we allow the naysayers to destroy our dreams.  Know that all things are possible IF you're willing to work hard and NEVER get up. 

4: What advice would you give to women who are trying to "connect" with their true purpose in life? Be quiet and listen! I believe that we are all here for a purpose.   Sometimes our purpose is so far from what we believe possible, we struggle to accept it. Just know that if you are truly called, there's no running away.   There's someone out there, maybe even lots of people out there, waiting for you to do the work that so many before you have prepared the way.  Hence, the title of my book, A Life Not My Own.

5: What are 5 final things you need women to remember?

•  We can do all these through Christ who strengthens us.
•  Nothing is impossible if you will just hold on
•  You are never alone
•  Find strength in your struggle.
•  God willing, tomorrow is coming, so ya might as well be prepared for it.
