"Therefore, I Am" Memoirs of the Unspoken truth is an expressive testimony of the life Tracey S. Smiley. It depicts the deeply rooted unspoken beliefs witnessed throughout my childhood. The book details family personalities and interactions that give insight to how I was influenced. You will discover how growing up in a bold and eccentric family forces you to wear a suit of armor every day! You will read about some of the ravaging experiences that shaped my understanding of life, fostered some of my outrageous behaviors and now decades later, still have an impact on my life today. These memoirs are my courage to live in my truth, share my mental health journey and restore the power in me that has been waiting. I hope to encourage and inspire readers to step out on faith and do the same!
