Review by: Brutha Wayne on April 16, 2012 :
This is MOSDEF a woman that has come a long, long way from where she started. Honestly, I thought that I had gone though a few issues in my own life, and I have, but nothing like what Sheila has gone through. Her story will inspire anyone who takes to time to read it. The phrase "God is good all the time, and all the time God is good" applies here for sure. We may go through a trial, recover, and move on to a better place before the next trail comes. But Sheila faced trail, after trail, after trail, after trail.

I have a new found respect for this woman. It's one thing to see a person doing well for themselves, so well that you may think life has always been good for them, but when you are allowed a peek into what God has actually brought them through, well, all I can say is that God is good.

Empress Sheila R. Smith has MOSDEF earned her current place of blessing, she is truly a "Woman of God".
