Where I Started

My Story

Never judge a book by it's cover. Everyone has a story....There once was a strong Black woman named Alicia Beatrice who found herself taking care of everyone else but herself and was kicked out of the community where she devoted most of her time and talent building their empire until one day she had a breakthrough. So I quit my nonprofit job in 2009 and started my first online business in 2010 as a consultant while working as a stay-at-home mom during the first year of my son's life. In 2016 I finally decided to break the silence and write my first book to share my powerful testimony  to inspire and encourage other Black women to heal their mind, body and Spirit through love and forgiveness.

  • “From Exile to EMBRACE has given me courage to face my everyday struggles and fears head on. I know that I’m not alone in the struggles that I go through. I have a new outlook on how I perceive things.”
    Monica, Nonprofit CEO
  • “The part of the book that really has personally helped me is EMBRACE Your Emotions. I am a very sensitive person so I feel my emotions and notice them but the one thing I have had a hard time with is VOICING my emotions. “My voice does matter."”
    Denise, Financial Advisor & Health Coach
  • “You have already given me back my life and that was only on page 3!!!! I've waited my whole entire adult life for your transparency, edification, and abundance of illumination into self!  I never thought someone could understand my past hurts, mistakes, and tragedies but you have definitely diagnosed me and given me a prescription to my deliverance through this book! Thank you for allowing God to use you in such a prolific way.”
    Tia, Business Coach
  • “From Exile to EMBRACE has helped me to really embrace my story.  I've read this book twice. I love the way it's put together. Alicia is an extraordinary young woman. She has shared her story in a way that is so amazing. It so easily brought my thoughts out and onto a page. Things I'd begin to realize she helped me to understand and name. And although it's her story she makes it your story. I'm actually gaining more insight of myself and how this has really helped me. Wow. Thank you so much. You are truly amazing. Keep God's light shining bright!”
    Stella, Life Coach
  • “I went to several sessions and her workshop was the only one that I received an answer to an issue that was happening in my family, my whole family, two generations of family.”
    Central Texas African American Family Support Conference attendee and nonprofit leader
  • “Alicia I just enjoyed your talk, your wonderful testimony. It has helped me and it will help my family. I have a grandson that can benefit from what I heard today will help him. Bless your family and wish you a Happy New Year.”
    Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church ministry leader
  • “I know in talking to you and actually reading your book, it sparked for me to share my story on paper... I didn’t know how I was going to navigate revealing that to the world.”
    Crys, Chef & Food Influencer
  • “This is an excellent book. You are going to touch and improve many lives. A purchase I'll never forget. Mental illness and recovery are two crucial elements. This is a shorter literary piece to help. EVERYONE should have this mini manual to refer to. Your candid nature was enjoyable and your writing almost flawless. Two thumbs up from me.”
    Brandalyn, Author & Speaker
