Forgive Her; She Was 16

Forgiving One's Mother Will Set Your Soul Free.

For the trapped little girl inside the woman, or the currently silent teenager who's tears were caused by her mother-----Forgive Her; She Was 16 was designed for you. Jazzmine Nolan, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, professor and the 1st to break generational curses in her family, built up the courage to reveal her experiences as a motherless daughter.

In addition to sharing these heart felt experiences, she walks the reader through the many ways she developed herself in spite of her absent mother. She encourages the reader to develop skills and learn lessons from their own experiences instead of falling victim to them. She thoroughly explains the black mothers pain from the child's perspective with complete acknowledgement of its effects on both lives.

If you're having trouble forgiving your mother for her shortcomings, which in turn is hindering you from becoming the best version of you, it's because you have been burdened with harboring the events behind "What happens in this house, stays in this house."

It's time to acknowledge those events, work through those events, obtain the structured path to forgiveness and begin developing who you are because of them, not in spite of them.

Learn how to:

      Forgive your mother

      Forgive yourself and others

      Identify your pain and the effects

      Identify your areas of strength and awareness

      Identify your areas of development

      Determine your self-leadership style on the path to creating your version of a woman

Forgive Her; She Was 16 will provide you with a companion in your silence. While making it okay for the little girl you are, or the one inside of you, to validate the heartbreak caused by your mothers inability to love you the way you desired to be loved. In acknowledging the pain, you are then able to humanize your mother while giving yourself the permission of freedom.  

In all of our pain, we are still woman. She is not exempt from the process of becoming a woman. As much as we expect perfection from her, she was 16, and these expectations are highly unrealistic, however, never explained to us, the child.

So, let's begin the process of acknowledging, forgiving, accepting, respecting and honoring the journey to womanhood as it is very different through the lens of a motherless daughter.
