📚🚀🎉The success of a launch is all about the energy, Marjorie noted. And see, 👇🏿we all know that it's the family, community, and their gestures of support that make the energy. All the best, Marjorie, as you establish a centre to support those in situations of domestic abuse!📚

📚🚀✒️The Signing. Author Marjorie signs a copy of her book for friend Owen, who was her classmate back in their school days in Jamaica. To purchase a signed copy of THE SILENT VOICES, VOL. 1:adifferentbooklist.com/item/pk8NTVPDn… #ReadDifferently #BookLaunchesTO #CaribbeanVoices #DebutNovel 📚

📚🚀🎉The Interview. Delving into the book, Marjorie reveals that character Monique vows to not be like her mother who was abused by her husband. In so doing, she becomes the abuser like her dad. Marjorie discusses too the forms of abuse - including financial - that men suffer.📚

📚🚀🎉Marjorie discusses her message in THE SILENT VOICES: Children are the future, so it's essential that they are brought up in stable, nurturing environments. Domestic violence disrupts the stability needed in the home for children to grow healthily and flourish in society.📚

📚🚀👏🏿An amazing turnout this Easter weekend to champion Marjorie and her new book, THE SILENT VOICES, whose main message - without overlooking #VAW - is that domestic violence does not discriminate in terms of gender. Men sometimes are victims. Congratulations, Marjorie!📚

📚👏🏿🎉Congratulations, Desmond! And, if you missed yesterday's motivational talk, don't miss out on signed copies of LOOKING BACK:adifferentbooklist.com/?q=h.tviewer&u… Finally, 🙏🏿Dez and Kay for challenging the stereotypes that exist around humanitarian work. TY all for supporting the event!📚

📚🗣️Stories interwoven throughout LOOKING BACK explain why Dez has faith in the Almighty. In one intense moment after Freetown was attacked by the rebels, at a checkpoint, a soldier identified the person near Dez as a collaborator. The distinction had to be precise, or--listen.📚

📚🗣️Dez greets the audience and pronounces his message for the day: Dreams come true for those who have the values of faith, hope, perseverance. He survived the chaos of war-torn🇸🇱 by holding fast to principles instilled in him since childhood and to his hope for a better life.📚

📚🗣️👏🏿Today's book talk by Dez Kamara, author of LOOKING BACK, was marked by the ethereal in the stories shared and direction given: Have faith; do your work to the best of your ability, as it serves the divine and humanity; dreams do come true.🙏🏿Dez and Kay Morris for hosting!📚
