In brief :
By now her story has been well documented. Born in Brooklyn in the back of a taxi, Iyanla Vanzant was given to her grandmother at age 2 after her mother died. A troubled and abusive childhood was followed by teen pregnancy, abusive marriages, and welfare. But it is from this very less than inspiring background that Vanzant has built the foundation for transformation. Not merely a survivor, Vanzant became a standard bearer and trend setter.
Fee Range :
$10,001 - $20,000
Since then, Ivanla Van Zant has earned a B.S. degree from Medgar Evers College and a J.D. degree from Queens College Law School. She went on to become a practicing attorney, serving nearly four years as a public defender in Philadelphia. But it was not enough. She was also seeking spiritual growth. While working with a group of women on public assistance and creating lectures about changing their lives, Vanzant penned Tapping The Power Within: A Path To Empowerment For Black Women. This book containing basic spiritual principals, self-affirmations, and personal rituals became a best-seller when published by Harlem Readers & Writers in 1992. It was the start of a new career for the resourceful Vanzant.
In addition to her books, Vanzant has established the Inner Visions Spiritual Life Maintenance Center and Bookstore, where she regularly conducts personal growth classes and weekend workshops for both men and women. She makes regular appearances on radio and national television and has given numerous lectures at such events as African American Women on Tour, the Essence Music Festival, Howard University and the Apollo Theater. Her inspiration for her numerous projects is completely divine, she attests: "God told me to do four things: tell my story, teach His law, write books, and make people laugh. That's what God told me to do...What I write about, I live."
With so many achievements and activities, Vanzant declares that her greatest achievement is being able to look into her grandson's face as an inheritor of her legacy of survival. The key for Iyanla Vanzant, and for us all, is to be able and willing to hear the voice when it comes, and great things will show up to take us out of our "In The Meantime" experiences. Her motto--"I am just an ordinary person committed to doing extraordinary things" is the chorus to the song of Iyanla Vanzant, a song with the rhythm of self-realization and a melody of inner peace that we are all invited to sing.
