For the past 24 years Iyanla has studied ...earning a Masters of Arts degree in Spiritual Psychology in 1999. She then integrated that information with her own experiences and developed a common sense approach for addressing life�s challenges. Her frank, down-to-earth and inspiring manner of addressing life�s issues resulted in the publication of ten books, over a span of seven years— five of which the New York Times has deemed best-sellers.
Some say Iyanla is not a speaker; she is a teacher. Delivering more than 250 keynote addresses annually, she teaches a common sense process for discovering your spiritual identity and its inherent power. Her work, she says, "Teaches people how to move beyond, whatever has happened in their lives in order to do and be what we came to life to do and be. We are divine!" Iyanla teaches that you cannot expect to evolve politically, socially or economically until you evolve spiritually. It is this message, conveyed with love, humor and humility, that has earned her an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York.
