WHEN YOU ARE ‘CHOSEN’ YOU ARE ASKED TO WEAR THE CROWN AND ALL THAT IT BEARS

Dr. Ashley Cham shares the power of Esther and her story of perseverance

(Louisville, KY) CHOSEN Jewels From Queen Esther’s Crown is the latest book authored by business and community leader Dr, Ashley Cham.

Dr. Cham explains the story of Esther in the bible. Each jewel tells a piece of the story. When you have a calling on your life you have just as many setbacks. The CHOSEN are always being tested showing that you have a higher calling. The story unveils the sacrifice it takes to wear the crown.

The book explores Esther’s story. Becoming the queen of Persia and courageously saves her people from annihilation. It takes you through her strength, courage, faith, and divine providence in the face of adversity. It also reminds you that no struggle is too big for God. “Just because he is not mentioned throughout the verses does not mean he was not present. Which brings another poignant observation. Just because it is not mentioned does not mean it is there, says Dr. Cham.”

She goes on to say “In a world where so many women are searching for meaning and impact, Esther’s story is both timeless and urgent. CHOSEN brings to life a season in history when a young woman’s courage and wisdom altered the fate of an entire people—a reminder that even those who feel ordinary are capable of extraordinary influence. Esther was able to change her stars, stepping into a purpose that neither she nor anyone around her could have imagined. Her journey is a testament to the transformative power that comes from recognizing one’s worth and boldly walking in one’s calling.

In current times, more than ever, we need to lift up stories like Esther’s—stories that awaken women to their own potential and inspire all of us to create positive change in the world around us.” You can find in Esther 4:14, that God places individuals in specific, difficult positions for a divine purpose. This is where the common phrase, ‘For such a time as this’ comes from.

Dr. Cham says, ‘Find your crowned calling’ and step out on faith and be fearless in the battles you face today.’

We are excited to share that Dr. Cham is hosting a CHOSEN Jewels From Queen Esther’s Crown book launch which includes a book signing will take place on Sunday, March 8th from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center, 3029 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd.

Successful entrepreneur & Kentucky native Robyn Cunningham brings awareness to the silent killer of suicide

Posted on by

What looks like a perfect life to some is masking depression, stress and feeling of hopelessness

Frankfort, Ky- — Entrepreneur Robyn Kay Cunningham pens her first short story.  Her newly released book is entitled ‘My Journey To Faith’ A Short Story.   The successful owner of DB Bourbon Candy takes you through her life. Facing grief of loved ones to serve in the military during the time of war.  This veteran learned to suppress her feelings until they felt like she could not go on.  Using her faith and understanding that she has so much to live for and a support system helped her reimagine life. 

This short story is a conversation piece and a story of overcoming the unbearable.  Cunningham is telling her story to help others that feel alone.  She says, ‘Recently, I have seen so many people take their lives through suicide and I want them to know that you can bounce back but it takes time.  You cannot give up on yourself.  You cannot be ashamed of your struggles.  It makes you who you are.  My life just kept hitting me with so much at one time.  It just kept piling on. I made mistakes but I am here today to say I have a testimony, and I feel if I can change one life then it was worth telling it.”

Cunningham adds “I used my faith to overcome some of the things I was going through but when you read my story you will understand how difficult it was and I begin to question so many things.  I had to step back to catch my breath because the very people who showed me with love had no idea that when I saw them it caused me to keep reliving memories I was trying to forget.  So, it felt like I could never heal.  I know so many people are feeling like this and I was to be a voice to those suffering in silence.  You can heal.” 

Today, Suicide is the 11thleading cause of death in the U.S. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Data & Statistics Fatal Injury Report for 2023. The report also says suicide was the second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 10-34, and the fourth leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 35 and 44.

In 2023, National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an estimated 12.8 million adults age 18 or older reported having thoughts of suicide, and 1.5 million (0.6%) adults attempted suicide during the past year. 

Cunningham is open to sharing her story with your group and/or organization.  She can be a part of your next panel discussion, book signing and/or be a featured speaker.  Please contact VIPP Communications at info@vippcommunications.com or contact our office at 502-341-7306 for availability.

The VIPP Report: Hip-hop Artist R. Prophet speaks out on police brutality in his new book

Posted on by

HIP-HOP ARTIST R. PROPHET IS FINALLY READY TO SHARE HIS ENCOUNTER WITH POLICE THAT LEFT HIM CHARGED, HOSPITALIZED AND UNKNOWN FATE

Ryan-Prophet-3-D-Cover-1-e1581984003631-166x300

It’s a story of survival when he felt like he was in a fight for his life

(Atlanta, GA)  We’re hearing their stories of racism and police brutality leaving many horrified that they never noticed before now. Today, you hear the names George Floyd and Breonna Taylor plus countless others.  Many lost their life and we will never be able to hear their stories but there’s some survivors.  Let me take you back to April 2013 where, two-time Grammy nominated hip-hop/rap artist Ryan “R. Prophet” encountered law enforcement on a Kentucky road.  He shares his story and the things he’s been dealing with since that night.

In Prophet’s new book, “Grams to Grammy”, it takes you back to that early morning safety checkpoint where things escalated leaving Ryan in the hospital, arrested, charged with third-degree assault, resisting arrest, and menacing among other the charges for the former member of Nappy Roots.  He also gets candid about what happens when these traumatic incidents take place.  Prophet can explain first-hand the affects it causes.  From expressing anger, to depression followed by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Currently, the book is charted as #1 new best seller on Amazon as part of the #sfirmcelebrityseries.  It’s filled with issues that many in the African American community face but often times rarely discussed from mental illness to living in impoverished neighborhoods where people feel like there’s a target on their back.

Prophet shared his experience with several media outlets shortly after the incident but has rarely spoken publicly until now.

Prophet, an advocate against police brutality feels like he needs to take a stance and talk about his experience of being tased some 15 times at the hands of Kentucky State Police. His case did not go through the judicial process, but it was reported but not confirmed by involved parties that he was awarded a one million-dollar judgment.

To setup an interview with R. Prophet and/or any other media inquiries please contact Sherlene Shanklin with VIPP Communications at info@vippcommunications.com.

The VIPP Report: Darnell “SuperChef” Ferguson host first book signing on one year anniversary of his new restaurant

Posted on by

Darnell

ENTREPRENEUR & TELEVISION PERSONALITY ADDS AUTHOR TO HIS TITLE WITH THE RELEASE OF HIS NEW BOOK “KNOWING IS HALF THE FIGHT…COOKING IS THE OTHER.”

(Louisville, KY) Have you even seen the Louisville entrepreneur and owner of one of the most notable restaurants in Louisville do anything on a small scale?  Your answer is likely “no” because he does everything in a big way or should we say “supersized”?  Darnell “Super Chef” Ferguson releases his new book on the one year anniversary of the opening of his restaurant Super Chefs. On Saturday, July 15th, Darnell and his Super Chef team will celebrate overcoming obstacles from fire to flood but their faith is what got them to see this day.

At 11:00 am Darnell will host a book launch & signing session of his book entitled “Knowing is half the fight…Cooking is the other”.  This was the brainchild of “Super Chef” when he was in culinary school.  Fast-forward several years later with a successful business and frequent appearances on several national cooking shows this was the perfect time to finish the project.

Ferguson says “When you read my book, it will give you healthy cooking tips, smart serving sizes to assist with portion control and mental food tips.  When customers come into my restaurant they always stop me and ask general questions about food, preparation and dieting so I put many of the answers in the book.  Knowing is half the fight. I hope when you read it that you will have several “I didn’t know that moments.”

We invite you to come taste great food including free appetizers and pick up an autographed copy of the book for $20.00. Breakfast and lunch is served 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Tuesday-Sunday and Dinner is from 5:00 pm to 10:00pm Thursday-Saturday.  Super Chefs located at 1702 Bardstown Road with street parking and convenient parking in the back of the restaurant for customers.

You can also purchase “Knowing is half the fight…Cooking is the other” online at http://eatsuperchefs.com/ and/or www.iamsuperchef.com.
