Rev. Dr. Iyanla Vanzant is the New York Times #1 bestselling author six times, has authored seventeen books which have been translated into twenty-three languages, selling over 10 million copies collectively; four-­‐time NAACP Image Award recipient; three-­‐time Gracie Award winner, three-­‐time Honorary Degree recipient, and those are not the best ways to describe Dr. Vanzant. Mother, grandmother, good girlfriend, wise-­‐woman, life coach, spiritual teacher, soul technician, attorney, and “the fixer” are better but still, not quite right. Minister, prayer warrior, servant, cultural custodian and student of life are the words she would use because this captures the presence of her being and the essence of her soul.
