Valorie N. Parker invites
you to travel along her
incredible journey from pain to
power. After surviving a 19 year
marriage of domestic abuse, she
found herself homeless, but not
hopeless. Armed with a
foundation of faith, she and her
four children began to rebuild,
restructure and reposition their
lives for success.
Valorie has
authored three books. The first,
"From the Soul of a Woman, Love
Shouldn't Hurt" tells her story,
giving an overview of her
beginnings, her marriage and its
transitions, the breakup and the
restructuring of her life.
Motivational speaker Les Brown
wrote the forward for this book.
The second book,
"Unveiling Secrets from the
Heart: Forgiving Your Past to
Free Your Future" is simply what
it is. Valorie believes
that you have to forgive where
you've been in order to free
yourself to go where you have to
go to complete your destiny.
This forward was written by
actor Malik Yoba, and includes
chapters from her friends: Les
Brown, who wrote about "The
Battlefield of the Mind;" Tawana
and Toby Williams, who wrote
about "The Power of Love;"
Dwight and Sadie Pledger wrote
about "The Power of
Forgiveness," and finally Dr.
Sheron Patterson wrote about
"The Power of Change".
The third book is "Restored
Vessels: Young Adults Overcoming
Adversities." This book was
written and inspired by five
young adults. The E-Book is
available with four stories,
while the book has five stories
along with the foreword by Seth
Joyner, Former NFL Player.
Valorie has raised four children
of her own and has had to impart
into each of their lives,
individually, not collectively,
because each had their own
personalities.
She credits much of her
children's successes to her
having the patience to LISTEN to
their cries, and the courage to
not only listen, but act on
their needs. In this book she
speaks from the heart as she has
in the first two books, but this
time she has incorporated
chapters from young adults who
share from their own
perspectives how they were able
to turn their traumatic
experiences into triumphs, and
beginning with the story of her
eldest son, David A. Parker and
ending with her youngest
daughter Stephanie N. Parker.
Other contributing authors in
this power-packed book are
Omekongo Dibingo, who is a
Speaker, Author and Poet, Star
Bobatoon, who is an Attorney
Trainer and Speaker, and
Jacquelyn "Tiffany"
Gates-Michael, a Wife and Young
Mother.
Valorie is president and CEO of
Arise by VNP and Associates, a
speakers bureau and public
relations company, and The Soul
of a Woman Foundation, a
non-profit organization that
serves the community. Her story
will encourage and inspire you
to hold fast to your dreams and
mount up with the wings of an
eagle and fly!!!!
It is no surprise that she has
earned the respect and
admiration of many in the
corporate and Christian arena.
Her impeccable reputation as a
businesswoman and mentor is
growing to new heights with
every round of applause and
standing ovation as she speaks
with power, passion and
conviction. Words never mean
more than when spoken by someone
who has lived them. Not only has
she lived them, but Valorie has
committed her life to sharing
the trials and heartaches that
she experienced and used as a
catapult to achieving her goals
and embracing her destiny.
Hurt" tells her story,
giving an overview of her
beginnings, her marriage and its
transitions, the breakup and the
restructuring of her life.
