Soul Sistas Wannabee!
by Newton Vanriel

---

Charm and Dawn are soul sistas from the heart. They share everything as they continue their adventures on the Spirit Farm. The “twins” believe that they can be anything they want to be, as long as you work hard and care about what you do. The Soul Sista’s series celebrates diversity and the true meaning of family and knowing it's ok to be unique. The Soul Sista’s Wannabee is the third book in the award-winning Soul Sista’s Series. The book provides a fun overview that highlights the power of being anything you want to be if you believe in yourself. The author continues to speak about the power of the Sista’s at libraries, bookstores, schools, theatres, conferences, vendor events, community agencies and numerous online podcasts. The world needs the Soul Sista’s.
