ABOUT OUR GUEST

Introducing Haronepthia Cameron, a seasoned Registered Nurse with 20 years of experience and a Master's degree in Christian Counseling. She is also a certified Paracletes Counselor. Her passion for helping others understand how past experiences, whether from distant childhood or recent events, may provide insights into their current challenges, stems from her own life lessons. Her commitment to listening and caring for others has been an intrinsic part of her life from her earliest memories.

​She gained her most valuable lessons from her beloved mother, who instilled in Haronepthia the values of commitment, endurance, strength, and love amidst turmoil. Her father's battle with an addiction that hindered his true potential taught her about struggle and resilience. This experience shaped her life's mission. Guided by the Holy Spirit, she dedicates herself to aiding others in overcoming obstacles that tether them to a destructive existence. She joins us for the Inspirational Author's segment to discuss her book, "Untitled."

ABOUT “UNTITLED”

DISCOVER THE YOU GOD INTENDED YOU TO BE - The journey to discover your true self is personal, and for most women, undefined. Life has a way of showing you who you are...if you listen. The voice of God is always speaking to you, but you must listen and search within to find answers. Your journey is Untitled, until you name it. Explore your life and become acquainted with the you God intended you to be. Be careful not to build an alter at the place of pain, disappointment, anger and unforgiveness, and remain there for the rest of your life, limiting your journey. Doing this allows someone else to tell you who you are. Take your POWER back and determine the adventures of your own journey. AVAILABLE AT Home | haronepthia
