God’s Princess Journal: I Am the Daughter of The King of Kings Paperback – May 22, 2024

Shanae Watkins has defied societal expectations, shedding the negative labels cast upon her at a tender age—those of failure, rejection, and even a violent criminal—all by the age of 11. Despite a painful and brief past, Shanae found herself on a challenging, often solitary path, exacerbated by headlines that pushed her into a relentless battle against the odds throughout her teenage and young adult years.Her journey unfolded from one chaotic episode to another, from being kidnapped to experiencing a hit-and-run incident at the age of five. Evolving from a naturally curious and wise-beyond-her-years child into a "runner," she would leave home for weeks at a time, yearning to belong everywhere yet unsure of her place. Some choices were hers, while others were made naively or, more often, by those who preyed upon her desire for freedom, ultimately leading to the loss of that very freedom.As a single mom, Shanae found healing through hardship, facing rejection and abuse from the world she sought safety in. Today, she is fully committed to healing from the valuable lessons she considers part of her daily journey as a woman.Internationally introduced through the cable documentary "Girlhood," Shanae has shared her story on platforms like Oprah, Geraldo, The Montel Williams Show, and MSNBC. She has participated in regional panels discussing the juvenile justice experience, childhood and adult trauma. Presently, Shanae is the proud mother of three children, a business owner providing services centered around femininity, sisterhood, and faith-based support. She co-hosts a podcast aimed at helping women find clarity in love, life, and spiritual healing and is the published author of the eagerly awaited 2022 release, "From Girlhood to Womanhood."In defiance of circumstances and the inner voice echoing naysayers, Shanae refused to be defined by the names society tried to give her. Two decades later, she stands as a blooming rose in the darkness, using her own light in an unapologetically authentic way. In her debut book, "From Girlhood to Womanhood," Shanae shares her profoundly personal journey with a candid, good-hearted girlfriend approach, embodying the rose that thrived against all odds.In the pages of the God's Princess journal, my hope is that over the next 90 days, you will uncover the radiant light within yourself. Through prayer, scripture reading, and thoughtful prompts, my prayer is that you embark on a transformative journey, kickstarting a lifelong process of recognizing yourself as the beautiful, loved, and unique woman that God intended you to be. You are a cherished daughter of The King of Kings, a true Princess of God. Read more
