Additional reviews of Warren's new release:
FOREWARD EXCERPT:
"Shellie R. Warrens daring to tell a story she is not far removed from is inspiring to me and it is my prediction, (just as Shellie predicted in my very first interview EVER) that her words will touch many others as well.
It is my hope that this story will move all who read it to hear past fear's whispers to love's bold and beautiful song. To live in love is your divine right."--India.Arie, Motown artist
"Shellie R. Warren is to writing, what Mary J. Blige is to song." --Gary A. Johnson, Founder and Publisher, Black Men In America.com
"Inside of Me is not just a book but an extraordinary act of courage. It requires great courage to expose the rawness of one's life experience; the 'not-so-pretty-side' of one's existence. Inside of Me is a victory! And for this, I applaud Shellie." --Hattie Winston, Actress [TV Show, Becker], Singer, Writer
"Shellie R. Warren provides a powerfully, honest testimony that it is bound to touch many lives. Her book is the Waiting to Exhale" for not only younger sisters, but young brothers. While this book is her first, it is unlikely to be her last." --Lucas Johnson II, author of Finding the Good
"While this may appear to be a book [Inside of Me] for women and sexuality, the male population will find this one womans story more than insightful." --James M. Lisbon, Founder, AMAG/Awareness Magazine
"Shellie R. Warrens voice through this book is the silent story of so many women young and old. I believe that her transparency will be liberating and cause women to know and understand that who you are should not be strangled by who you were."---Demetrus Stewart, President, Puresprings Entertainment
