This book is intended to challenge you to take an in-depth look at your life and catapult you to change; wherever changes need to be made. I encourage you to face your fears, tell truths and live in freedom, walk in your purpose and inspire others to do the same. There are some things I have learned as it relates to transition. The word itself does more than describe a movement, it involves changing the nature, purpose or function of a thing, place or person. Wow Grow with me as we journey together and transform all areas of our lives.

As a child, Shantelle found herself expressing her thoughts through writing. She wrote her first poem and created, produced and wrote her first play at the age of 9. She also appeared on Super Six School News as a newscaster at 10. Her early discovery of words ignited a passion for reading the dictionary and any book she could get her hands on. Although she was encouraged as a young child to sing, dance, write and SPEAK, she was very shy. She didn’t have a solid understanding of who she was or her purpose and the importance of how she could impact others using her words. Writing became an outlet but there was still some disconnect. She went on to have children and marry at a very young age and that only compounded the identity crisis that was rooted deep inside. As her youngest child entered school, she desired to have a deeper understanding of herself. ＂My transitioning must have a purpose and my longing for ＂more＂ was growing.＂ She has since gone on to write numerous poems and short stories and this is her first published work with many more to come. She is also a trusted confidant, counselor, and friend to many who say that her words have inspired them to move beyond their fears and catapult them to the wonderful possibilities within themselves. Shantelle has a true gift for giving insight in both straightforward and insightful ways while always speaking in Truth, love and accountability.
