Debut Book Out Now
Pressing Through to My Purpose by
Nia Nicole
My painful unique journey inspired me to write this book. I started writing Pressing Through to My Purpose in 2017 because I didn’t think I would ever see the inside of a classroom again. I was cracked, bruised and broken. Releasing my frustrations through writing stirred up a lot of unhappy memories, but it was healthy as well because I was releasing what was bottled up. I stopped writing because I felt like I didn’t have a proper ending… Oh but then, 2020 happened!
“When I got home I read your book, and once I started, I did not put it down. It is a like you said, "an easy read," and I will add a good read. I thank you for your testimony. Our lives have similarities and I applaud you and your tenacity to press through to your purpose. For sure I know to Put God first and making Him the head of my life then everything else is secondary. Thank you for Pressing Through To My Purpose!”

“I just finished your book. So proud of you walking into your true purpose. The book was a real easy read and it kept my attention. It felt like it was building up to something great and that was your true purpose of what you went through, to bring you to what exactly God had in store for you. Keep pushing and I'm excited for what is in store for you in the next year, 5 yrs, and beyond. Now I can go to sleep because I couldn't lay down until I finished it.”
