Reseña del editor:

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross The Audacity of Beauty is a compilation of 35 life-changing stories that discuss relationships, body image, abuse, cancer, drugs, race, self-esteem, and death. The true stories in this book were carefully compiled over a total of three years and were written by women from four continents. Each story reinforces the inner strength of a woman and the fact that self-love, acceptance and healing are attainable despite one's past or present. The Audacity of Beauty also includes a fun and interactive workbook that offers life-enhancing activities. Teenage girls and women of all ages will feel a sense of strength, courage, and hope from this classic. The Audacity of Beauty was creatively composed to leave readers feeling an instant connection to the author of each story, while evoking the senses. This book will make you laugh and cry, but most importantly, you will embrace the audacious notion of the true meaning of beauty, which is skillfully portrayed within these pages. The Audacity of Beauty will give you the tools needed to love yourself despite the media’s interpretation of beauty, despite past hurt and pain, despite that one person who refused to see the beauty in you, despite the loss of love, despite the sickness, and despite the negativity others have inflicted on you. You are bold. You are beautiful. You are The Audacity of Beauty. Demia Doggette, author of The Audacity of Beauty, grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois where she attended an ethnically diverse school and church. This background enabled her to gain an awareness that the various struggles of females are not limited to race, culture, or community. They are mutually experienced by women worldwide, but can be overcome with the proper tools. Demia received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oakwood University, a Master of Science in Management and a Master of Business Administration from Florida Institute of Technology. Her life experiences and educational background, combined with her passion for people, providentially led her to author this book and further her reach by creating Beautiful Epiphany.

Biografía del autor:

Hi! My name is Demia Doggette, and I am a dreamer, an optimist, and a lover of tulle skirts. About 2 years ago I was inspired to write a book for women that tackles the issues of low self-esteem and body image insecurities. After years of gathering, writing, and editing, my book was complete, but my passions continued to flair. I wanted to continue creating positive outlets for women that allow them to be themselves and embrace their inner and outer beauty, and this my friends is how Beautiful Epiphany began. I am such a girly girl that loves all things fashion and beauty, but I also aim to feed my inner desires for knowledge, growth, and empowerment. I searched and searched for a platform that would allow me to do just that, but my search came up void. Now don’t get me wrong, I saw a lot of fashion blogs, networking tools, inspirational books, and beauty websites that were absolutely amazing, but I wanted something that would encompass the woman like me that wants it all. So instead of complaining about this lack, I decided to create it. Welcome to my version of a blog on steroids! Beautiful Epiphany is open to women of all ages that are dedicated to feeding their desire for Fashion, Purpose, Beauty and Empowerment. Now that you know a bit about my passions, I can share with you my boring credentials (Forbes said it was a good idea to include this part, lol). I received my Bachelor’s of Arts in Communication from Oakwood University. After graduation the economy was terrible and my job search continuously came up void. I had the option of moving back home, or going back to school; in an attempt to keep my sanity, I chose the latter (just kidding mom and dad, I love you both dearly). I have always been one to love a challenge, so I decided to push myself to obtain two Master’s degrees before the age of 24, and I did just that. I graduated from Florida Institute of Technology with a Master’s of Science in Management and Master’s in Business Administration... and to add a cherry on top, I received a certification in Human Resource Management as well. One of my favorite quotes from Steve Marboli states, “There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.” Fabulous comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors so join me and women across the world and we discover our own Beautiful Epiphany.
