The Walk: Accepting Your Life As It Is Now

“The act of walking requires you to take one step and then another until you arrive at your destination. In 'The Walk', Ledisi shares the steps she took to get to her best life. And just like her songs, the gems she so bravely shares about her life will inspire many. I am so proud of her! Keep walking in your majesty, my beloved.”
~Iyanla Vanzant, Host, Iyanla: Fix My Life

“'The Walk' reminds us to keep our insanely complex lives simple with childlike optimism and a steady spiritual realignment. Through her writing, Ledisi organically expresses the power of faith through glimpses of her personal journey. Well done, my friend.”
~Tyler Perry

“Just like her voice, personality, and music, Ledisi has written a book to uplift and empower the world. Her joy for the simplicities in life is contagious. What a wonderful book.”
~Patti LaBelle
