Stop Walking with Your Head Down

Makeup flawless, hair slayed, outfit on point. You’re ready to tackle the day. Stepping outside of your safe space, you feel confident in your stride…but then it happens. A glance from a stranger, a thought from the past, a hesitation…can trip you up. Your eyes fall from looking straight ahead to watching the ground, focusing on each step so as to not fall. It’s easy to get distracted by what’s under you, but taking your eyes off the prize can be detrimental. 


Stop Walking with Your Head Down is a collection of experiences of women overcoming insecurities. Different lives, different circumstances, different outcomes…as a collective, women have so many obstacles to overcome. The women in this anthology have cracked the code on how to reach within yourself and face each day head-on.
