Reviews
"Your writing is exquisite. You are truly talented, insightful, and brilliant. Your writing is so raw and candid. Your honesty and passion are palpable and come alive through your words. I was so moved by how personal your writing felt, how you spoke with such truth and fervor. Your words convey your passion, faith, love, and devotion and how they are so clearly leading forces in your life. Your writing comes across as authentic and unapologetic--it was an absolute joy to read. Through your words, you so clearly expressed pain, frustration, and disappointment. At the same time, you brilliantly communicated feelings of hope, commitment, empowerment, and jubilance. That's no easy feat, but you managed to intertwine these opposing forces seamlessly and beautifully."

"Move over, Iyanla. Here comes Yumica! The text was very easy to read, as it was written in "down-to-earth" language. It covered many topics realistic and compassionately without making any judgments."
