Some people will tell you that Iyanla Vanzant is a speaker in a class all her own. For 18 years she studied everyone and everything that spoke to personal strength, personal growth and empowerment. She then integrated that information with her own experiences and developed a common sense approach for addressing life's challenges.

Her frank, down-to-earth, and inspiring manner of addressing life's issues resulted in the publication of ten books, over a span of seven years, five of which have been deemed by the New York Times as bestsellers.
