Resilient Walker

Can you hear the sound? Listen closely, can you hear the silence? It's deafening, isn't it?

The sound of the silent victim is a fearful sound. The innocent remain terrorized in silence. Victims are voiceless.

I've walked this path of silent tears for too long, and now, my life is a story of overcoming, growing resilient, losing my voicelessness, and speaking out.

The hard part wasn't escaping the poverty, the projects, or the violence. The hard part was facing the past, the pain, the fear.

Everyone, abuse victim or not, has a wound to heal--whether internally or in a loved one. Join me in learning how to move from broken to resilient. We are free to heal ourselves. We are free to heal others.

In Resilient Walker, Dr. Shree Walker retells how she transformed her nomadic life once built in poverty, abuse, and defeated thinking into a vibrant career helping others overcome their circumstances and rise through resiliency to success.

Dr. Walker, the strongest, the bravest, and the most courageous woman I know.

Her story is absolutely mesmerizing! It will leave you feeling as if you walked in her shoes, experiencing every dark move, and every emotion. I smiled, I cried, I cringed, asking myself, why her? Why anyone?

I do believe this book will help, not only young females, but anyone, male or female, that is going through, or has gone through what Dr. Walker has. To look at her beautiful smile, today - you would never believe her past existed.

Shree has a purpose here on this earth and I'm positive, whatever that purpose is, it will have a beautiful, colorful, positive outcome.

I am honored to call her my friend.
