Taunya Lynnette defied the odds to make a successful career in information technology, one of the most male-dominated fields in the corporate world. In Just Being Me, she draws upon her life experiences to offer valuable insights to help readers chase and achieve their dreams and live fulfilling lives. With the help of this book, you will learn to let go of your past, learn from your mistakes, and move on toward a better future. List your goals and work toward accomplishing them by building your self-esteem and confidence. Believe in yourself and encourage others to do the same. Acknowledge your fears, but never let them overwhelm you. Be brave and face them head-on. Self-assess your values, interests, natural talents, and personality, and then work on your skills by investing in yourself for a better life.
Just Being Me is part memoir, part self-help guide that will empower and teach you to maximize your talents and use them to enrich and fulfill your potential, allowing you to live your best life. In this book, Taunya Lynnette shares some personal anecdotes, including how she overcame sexual harassment and hostile work environments to continue on her path to making her dreams come true. Taunya Lynnette emphasizes prioritizing life experiences over material possessions, advising readers to socialize with like-minded people and friends who encourage and bring out the best in them. Additionally, always try to keep the faith and practice grace and kindness. At each chapter's end, you will find a few "food for thought" snippets to apply in everyday life. Overall, I found Just Being Me to be very inspirational. Highly recommended.
