I have had high blood pressure for 20 years, but after my 80lb weight loss, I no longer do. The only reason I know is because I’ve almost passed out in the shower on a few mornings. Coworker convinced me to get a bp monitor. Perfect bp is 120/80. At waking, mine was 96/55 WITH my bp medication.

“Why do you write books and who inspired you?” I write because I was told that I couldn’t write and that black people weren’t smart. My momma (Irene Elizabeth Wells) told me I could do anything I put my mind to, so I honor her by showing the world that I can!
