You wear the smile. You play the part. But you're caught in the exhausting cycle of pretending and performing. You chase the version of freedom the world promised would satisfy. And yet, you're still not free. The lies we believe -- about ourselves, our worth, and what will truly make us whole -- keep us bound in invisible chains. But there is a way out. Madison Prewett Troutt invites you to confront the lies that are holding you hostage and to step boldly into the life you were created to live -- a life anchored in truth that leads to a freer you. Dare to Be True is real talk from Madison's own life lessons and experiences that will help you: call out the lies that keep you stuck and small; silence the noise of culture and tune into God's truth; stop spiraling in sin, shame, and isolation, and receive grace; step into your purpose with clarity and without apology. This isn't just a book about recognizing what's wrong. It's an invitation to step into the abundant life you were made for. With interactive challenges at the end of each chapter -- Truths for You and Dares to Do -- you'll be pushed, encouraged, and equipped to live with boldness, purpose, and freedom. Fake freedom will leave you empty. But real freedom? The kind your soul has been craving? That starts when you dare to be true." --Dare to Be True explores themes of personal authenticity, self-reflection, and faith-based identity. Drawing from her own experiences, Madison Prewett Troutt discusses the challenges of social pressure, self-perception, and the search for meaning. The book encourages readers to examine beliefs that may limit their sense of freedom and to cultivate a life grounded in honesty and purpose. Each chapter concludes with reflective prompts and activities designed to help readers apply the ideas presented and consider how they relate to their own values and goals.

Professional troublemaker : the fear-fighter manual / by Ajayi Jones, Luvvie,author.(CARDINAL)846870;
Be. Know yourself ; Be too much ; Dream audaciously ; Own your dopeness ; Trust where you are -- Say. Speak the truth ; Fail loudly ; Ask for more ; Get your money ; Draw your lines -- Do. Grow wildly ; Fire yourself ; Take no shit ; Build a squad ; Get a Nigerian friend ; Fuck fear."With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her inspiring and professional troublemaking grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle. The point is not to be fearless. It is to know we are afraid and to charge forward regardless, to recognize the things we must do are more significant than the things we are afraid to do. This book shows you how she's done it, and how you can, too."--

Professional troublemaker [large print] : the fear-fighter manual / by Ajayi Jones, Luvvie,author.(CARDINAL)846870;
"Luvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker, she's not alone. We're all afraid. We're afraid of asking for what we want because we're afraid of hearing "no." We're afraid of being different, of being too much or not enough. We're afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly, meaningfully change our lives, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free. With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle. The point is not to be fearless, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Let's go!"--
