\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hemmingway\u2019s<\/strong> journey to becoming an entrepreneur was not without its trials. A devastating car wreck left her at a critical crossroads, facing a major career decision and impending surgery. It was a moment that could have broken her spirit. Instead, it propelled her to leave behind a successful corporate career and take a leap of faith into the unknown.<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Looking back on her journey, Hemmingway <\/strong>reflects that prayer and faith emerged as foundational pillars that have profoundly shaped her path. She credits resilience, fortified by prayer and an unwavering faith in God, as her steadfast companions through every challenge.<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With Juneteenth on the horizon, Hemmingway<\/strong> is excited about an upcoming event at the Kafe hosted by one of her Brewing Partners,\u00a0Stephanie Outten, <\/strong>Founder and CEO of\u00a0Cocoon to Wings Publishing\u00a0(CTWP).\u00a0Cocoon to Wings Publishing is based in Tampa, Florida, and works with individuals nationally and internationally to support their dreams of becoming published authors.<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Black and Brown Book Bazaar will feature Black and Brown authors from Central and South Florida, showcasing their fiction, nonfiction, self-help, journals, and children’s books.
