I'm Highly Percent Sure: A Memoir of Intuition, Instigation, and the Bold Pursuit of Purpose

In this rich, transparent, and witty memoir for women in business, the Co-Founder of WangaWoman LLC, current President & CEO of Essence Ventures, and ambassador of authenticity navigates the lifelong battle between her intuition and inner saboteur delivering “instigational” inspiration and career advice with a passion to help every person discover the purpose they were born to deliver to the world. Published by Amistad in collaboration with Lavette Books.

It Ain’t Math, it’s MISSION powered by INTUITION.

Intuition is like the “endocrine system” of authenticity and purpose. Most of us don’t know its full function until it malfunctions, and every part of your existence that depends on it goes into dysfunction. At that point, every part of your anatomy (humanity) becomes compromised until the system can move into repair and recovery, which is a complex and intrusive restoration journey of personal growth that will scare you just enough to never “not mind” your intuition ever again. At its apex, you move forward in ways that are generally accepted as good, bad, and most importantly, less-worse.

“I’m Highly Percent Sure,” invites your curiosity to my co-existence with intuition, sometimes with foresight but oftentimes, without.
