On Monday, March 9, 2015, Iyanla Vanzant, author, inspirational speaker, and host of “Fix My Life,” will deliver the next Brain Food Lecture in Lawless Memorial Chapel at 7 p.m. on Dillard’s campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Iyanla Vanzant is one of America’s most profound spiritual leaders and acclaimed empowerment legends. Her body of work spans over three decades to include 15 published books, five New York Times best sellers (translated into 23 languages and with sales exceeding 8 million copies), CDs, television, radio and on-stage performances.
Likened to other great African American Women in our history, Iyanla embodies a no-nonsense approach in her message and teaching style. Outspoken, fiery, transparent, truthful, and sage-like are just a few of the common adjectives used when describing Iyanla Vanzant.
Her latest book, Peace from Broken Pieces, chronicles her extraordinary professional success against the backdrop of personal tragedy. As the world watched her as a regular guest expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show then onto her daily talk show, “Iyanla”, her marriage was crumbling and her daughter was losing her battle with cancer. Peace from Broken Pieces shares the spiritual lessons learned and the wisdom gained during this difficult time.
