BY SPECIAL TO THE HAMPTON ROADS MESSENGER


HAMPTON, Virginia- The Hampton Roads Messenger had a successful first session for the “Meet the Author” series.


The event featured two inspirational African American authors from the Hampton Roads area, Kimberly Bright and Deborah Juniper-Frye. Each author read an excerpt from their stories, discussed their novel journey, and participated in a Q&A session.


Kimberly Bright is a retired


teacher and licensed life coach in general and personal life coaching at Bright Life Coaching.


Kimberly is the author of the


book “You Were Not Created To Live This Away”. Its main purpose is to teach the reader how “facing your fears one faith step at a time” can change their life.


Bright shared a great acronym that she lives by, “H.O.P.E, hold on pain ends. It could take over a process of a decade or a year, to get through your grieving process,” she said.


Deborah Juniper-Frye has 20 years of professional expertise and knowledge in the care and compassion for the Bereaved.


Deborah is the author of the two books, “Grieving Under Grace” and
