Through the Storm (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692984093)

Formerly known as Lakeisha McQuinn, Amina I. is a mentor, business owner, and first-time author. Having endured the experiences described in Through the Storm and learned from them, she was inspired to create a nonprofit organization, A New Beginning, Inc., serving convicted men and women who are soon to be released, as well as those who have already paid their debts to society and are actively seeking change but need assistance of various kinds. The organization is dedicated to motivating and uplifting those who've felt all hope is lost, but are willing to embrace change with the support of A New Beginning. Amina's days are spent traveling to jails and prison houses, where she gives public speeches and coaches inmates to prepare them for new life on the other side of the prison walls. Amina has also created her own fashion powerhouse, AminaI., offering a line of refined clothing to the virtuous woman who takes pride in her nationality. The line has clothing for every occasion, from the nine-to-five environment and the everyday look, to the date night on the town with the husband, and tailor-made garments designed for a special event. Whatever the occasion, AminaI. has the attire for you that reflects your inner beauty-beautiful, elegant, humble, spirited woman of God, to be respected. Amina can also be found on social media, where she mentors women on virtue, life, health, and beauty. She's also the creator of MFB Entertainment, with which she travels and promotes the gospel through music. Be on the lookout-she and her crew may be coming to a venue near you.
