Be the Change: A Story of Hope in the Face of Adversity - 2419

Be the Change is the recollection of Iyessia Gardner's life one letter, one word, one sentence at a time. Her memoir is centered around a motherless child who felt unworthy, unvalidated, and insecure. This little girl grew up afraid of her own shadow and often wanted to disappear within herself. Iyessia shares the challenges in her childhood with the absence of her father and the lack of love from her mother. In her journey, she desperately yearned for a mother's love and a father's strength. Iyessia then shares her experiences as a young lady moving from South Philly to South Jersey, and her determination to provide a different life for her children. She was determined to change the trajectory of generational occurrences in her family. She desired to give her children something she never experienced herself. Her children would receive all the love and support that she yearned for as a young child even in difficult times. Finally, Iyessia finds all the love and safety that she needs in Christ Jesus. And, through Him, she is determined to end the cycle of dysfunction that had become a norm and Be the Change. Be a positive change in her family and amongst her peers. As she was created to Be the Change, so are you.
