As women, we learn how to master the masquerade. We are taught to conceal our scars and hide our pain. We are encouraged to keep secrets and keep others far away and not to let anyone too close for fear that they might detect the damage buried beneath. Dear Young Woman was written by women who are determined to change this narrative. The authors of this book are from different parts of the globe, but together they stand to collectively remove their masks and speak their truth. The testimonies in this book range from molestation, to failed marriages, suicide attempts, life as a side chick, and near-death experiences, just to name a few. The stories between these pages are proof that God gives beauty for ashes and that He has a purpose for your pain. Prayerfully the power of these testimonies will shatter barriers and bridge gaps among women around the world, and create a culture of transparency that encourages meaningful dialogue so that we as women can discover the beauty in our similarities instead of highlighting our differences.

"Who can I turn to?" is a question I've asked myself many times as a single mother. You see, I have to put on my cape, vest, and shield every day to be everything to everyone, all while often feeling overlooked. I've had to be an employee on the job, a student in the classroom, the "perfect woman" for a man. And let's not forget, a chef, chauffeur, disciplinarian, etc., to the child(ren.)At the end of the day, when I stripped myself of the badges, titles, and accolades, I found myself alone with no one who could relate to what I was going through. At that moment, I knew that I had to reach out to others who share my experiences and create a safe space for us to relate, relax, and release. "Dear Single Mom: You Were Built to Defy the Odds" is a compilation of testimonies shared by mothers who can not only relate to one another but who also came together to empower other single moms.This book is a tangible reminder to let other single mothers know that they aren't on this journey alone, even though they may "feel" as though they are by themselves.
