Dr. La Shawn Denise Witt, widely known as The Global Strategist™, has released her long-anticipated and deeply moving memoir, The D.I.V.A. Herself: I Survived My Mess. This empowering book chronicles her personal journey through trauma, grief, and self-doubt, and ultimately reveals how faith, purpose, and resilience helped her rise.
Timed perfectly with Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Witt’s memoir is more than a personal story — it’s a rallying cry for women everywhere. By boldly sharing her experiences, she invites readers to look inward, find strength in vulnerability, and embrace the D.I.V.A. within: Determined, Inspired, Victorious, and Anointed.
“I wanted women to see that their mess doesn’t disqualify them from greatness,” says Dr. Witt. “In fact, it’s often the very thing that molds them into the powerful beings they were always meant to be.”
The D.I.V.A. Herself: I Survived My Mess is already resonating with readers nationwide, particularly those battling emotional wounds, personal loss, or identity crises. Through raw storytelling and spiritual insight, Dr. Witt encourages women to rewrite their narrative, proving that even in brokenness, there is beauty — and beyond pain, purpose awaits.
