“I’ve just finished reading “Meet My Three Friends Purpose, Power and Passion “ written by Dr. Tamara Mangum. This book has taken me on a roller coaster ride of self-examination, reflection and realization. Through her work, I have come face to face with my biggest critic, my loudest champion and my greatest asset - ME! By exposing her own experiences with how she recognized and followed her passion- I can now fully appreciate the effects my upbringing had in my own path towards peace and fulfillment. After recognizing the basis for our passions, Dr. Mangum helps her readers to move into a deeper sense of self in discovering the truth of one’s purpose. From her, we learn to be mindful, thoughtful and yes, purposeful in our pursuits. Purpose adds deliberation and some much needed balance, but as Dr. Mangum soon reveals - the ultimate result is power! Power enables us to utilize our inner grit to bring positive outcomes.  Coming from humble beginnings, I am now armed with such self-awareness that i’m more motivated and focused than ever before. I highly recommend this thorough example of self-actualization for any woman who is seeking purpose, filled with passion and is open to harnessing their own power.”
