I am Power!

Activate Your Impowerment App™

From the creator of Momisms: Life Lessons from a Cool Mom comes a story that turns powerful life lessons into a heartfelt journey of courage, confidence, and self-belief.

When Kendi’s confidence is shaken by the words and actions of others, she must remember what her mom always says—keep your Impowerment App™ on!
Built on three simple yet powerful pillars — Attitude, Perspective, and Perseverance — the Impowerment App™ helps Kendi rediscover her inner strength and the truth that changes everything:

“I am power over me, not them.”

Through sports, setbacks, and a magical moment at the beach, Kendi learns that the real power to shine, succeed, and feel confident doesn’t come from anyone else—it comes from within.

A beautifully told story for children and families everywhere, I Am Power Over Me! inspires readers to keep their Attitude bright, their Perspective balanced, and their Perseverance unstoppable.

Imperfectly Perfect!

From the author of Momisms: Life Lessons from a Cool Mom comes another empowering story that reminds readers that perfection isn’t the goal — being proud of who you are is.

When Taye becomes determined to be “perfect” — to look perfect, act perfectly, and outshine everyone else — her mom gently reminds her of a powerful truth: no one has or ever will be perfect. Through dance recitals, soccer games, and a magical morning at the beach, Taye discovers that it’s our little imperfections that make us truly unique and beautiful.

Inspired by the Momisms that teach self-worth, gratitude, and resilience, Imperfectly Perfect celebrates the beauty of being authentically you — freckles, flaws, and all.

“Be proud of who you are and all your little imperfections — because that’s what makes you uniquely you.”

 

Look in the Mirror!

Inspired by Momisms: Life Lessons from a Cool Mom, Look in the Mirror brings to life one of its most powerful lessons — “Only say positive things to yourself about yourself… your brain listens and remembers what you say.”

When Taye faces a rough day at school, her teacher’s special mirror helps her see something she’d forgotten — her own brilliance. As she shares this lesson with her mom, sister, and even her dad, each learns how a simple reflection can build confidence, calm fears, and change how they see themselves.

Through kind words, self-belief, and a touch of beachside magic, Look in the Mirror reminds readers that you don’t always need a mirror to find your reflection — just the courage to see your own worth and speak to yourself with kindness.

“Look in the mirror and recognize your brilliance — and believe it to be true.”

 

I am Enough, Period!
