Covering seven decades of living, traveling, and growing, this book follows Cynthia James’ journey of self-discovery and authenticity. She uses her own life experiences as a backdrop for her exploration of how the voice is used as a tool of engagement; how a singular or collective voice can enhance empowerment, transparency, and accountability; and, finally, how expression can develop new ideas, shift cultures, political views, transform organizations, create laws, and improve lives. Written for anyone who wants to discover the power within that makes them special, this book has a vital message: Uniqueness is your own glorious imprint on this planet, and it is calling you to come out. It doesn’t matter if your awakening is large or small; it doesn’t matter what your age, race, religion, or history is; anyone can begin right where they are, right now.
