Conversations Presents Mississippi author Kia Stokes

 

Conversations is pleased to represent Mississippi Kia Stokes.

A native of Jackson, MS, Nakia Stokes is the author of the inspirational novella UNBOUND. The book chronicles the challenges of individuals not too different from ourselves who are forced to recognize their weaknesses and look for real strength outside of themselves.

Like her characters,Nakia has suffered a number of tragedies during her childhood, including sexual abuse. God has allowed her to rise above the hurt and turn the pain into power. He has brought her from tragedy to triumph, and after the storm she was able to focus on her passion: Writing.

Kia's literary mission is to give God the glory while addressing real life issues with a touch of spiritual humor and to offer the way to a victorius life through Jesus Christ. Her work demonstrates and promotes the importance of salvation, healing, deliverance, the power of forgiveness, unconditional love, and healthy relationships.

She spends most of her time with her loving husband, bonding with her daughter and serving the community with the sophisticated women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Upsilon Upsilon Omega Chapter. Along with her husband, she is also Co-President of the married couples ministry at Cathedral A.M.E. Zion Church in Jackson, MS.

UNBOUND will be available nationwide Tuesday, October 7, 2008 however advance copies can be purchased via Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Unbound-Kia-Stokes/dp/143439171X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222100336&sr=8-1) or through the author.

Missed our exclusive interview with Rob from the hit VH1 show "I Want To Work For Diddy"? Listen to it here! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/conversationslive/2008/09/22/Rob-Smith-from-VH1s-I-Want-To-Work-For-Diddy Many learned about Rob Smith from the hit show on VH1 "I Want To Work For Diddy." When he was eliminated on the second episode, the most we had found about him concerned his service in the army and information about his sexuality. But what about the Robert that existed before we met him on reality tv? As the first openly gay Iraq War vet of color on reality tv how does he feel about that responsibility? And when it came to the episode where he was eliminated, who did he think about going up against instead of Poprah? We talk about that, his endeavors with www.afterelton.com and more during this interview.
