Nkem also co-authored "The Unstoppable Woman's Guide To Emotional Well-Being" with 21 other Authors and Life Coaches.
She believes that childhood orientation helps shape or destroy a child’s life and mindset. Children learn from what they see and hear. This belief made her create LIFE LESSONS; a collection of inspirational children's books, to help empower, educate, enrich, and inspire more than one child at a time. She writes each book with every child in mind. "Educate a child, and inspire an adult." In 2013, the book ZOE (First Edition) was endorsed by the former Mayor of Houston, Annise Parker. Second Edition of ZOE, ALLEY-GATORS: The Bullies of Poughkeepsie, and ODERA: An Orphan’s Tale were released in 2014. ABOUT A BOY was released in June 2018. All her books have been donated to many local libraries, and to the less privileged kids.
Nkem has been interviewed live by Emmy Award Winner, Melissa Wilson of Fox 26 News, during the 2014 Black History Month Celebration. She has also featured live in Washington, DC on VOA - Voice of America/Africa 54, ABC 13 Eyewitness News Houston and interviewed by Melanie Lawson on “CrossRoads," FOX 26 News "Black Voices,” and on Isiah Factor Uncensored."
“Each day is an opportunity to grow." She says. Nkem believes that we should not only exist but live life to the fullest, against all odds. Nkem is an unstoppable woman because she always takes God on board with her in all that she does.
Nkem lives each day thankful!
