Growing up, Natasha (Tash) Craig Durkins struggled fitting in with kids in her community. Desperate to belong, she abandoned her uniqueness, too unpopular for the White kid cliques and teased by Black kids for "acting white." In time, Tash learned to create her own circle rather than seek one to fit into. Building resilience in her triumphs over life's challenges, she discovered her true self and learned how living authentically helped her create a Fiercely Joyful life.

Being Fiercely Joyful is having the powerful feeling of happiness, freedom, fulfillment, and peace that comes from choosing to be the version of you that aligns with your purpose. Not the version of you others prefer but the one that is authentically you.

Do you:

• Bite your tongue too often?
• Conform to others' expectations?
• Pretend to be happy when you're not?
• Struggle to articulate what brings you joy?

If you answered yes to any of these, Fiercely Joyful is for you. It took Tash many years to get here, which isn't a place of perfection, but a life filled with enduring joy. Tash shares her experiences, lessons, and knowledge to help others seize the power of authenticity. In reading Fiercely Joyful: 11 Keys to Living Authentically & Creating a Life You Love, you will learn how and be inspired to be more of who you are meant to be: the best version of you, which is the whole version of you.
