Description
WHAT: Book Launch and Panel Discussion for “The Power of a Transformed Woman” by Twyla Martin. A raw, unapologetic discussion about strength, transformation, and rising above trauma.
WHO: Twyla Martin’s story begins in Dallas, Texas, but her journey truly unfolded in the heart of the Twin Cities. Raised in what some might call the “hood,” Twyla saw it as home. Her path was anything but easy, navigating life in and out of foster care, facing homelessness, and battling addiction while caught up in a toxic lifestyle. But Twyla was destined for more. This book isn’t just another tale of struggle, it’s a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and redemption.
