Ms. Barnett is current Deputy Editor in Chief of Harper’s Bazaar; former Managing Editor of Teen People, (where she made history as the first African-American woman in the country to head a major mainstream magazine); and the former Editor-in-Chief of Honey magazine.

ATTENDEES WILL EACH RECIEVE A COPY OF GET YOURS! AS PART OF THEIR $15 REGISTRATION FEE. OUR CUT-OFF DATE FOR THE EVENT IS FRIDAY, MARCH 14TH, IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE TIME, PRIOR TO THE EVENT, FOR THE RECEIPT OF THE BOOKS.

In GET YOURS! Ms. Barnett shows urban women how to achieve their wildest dreams…today, this year and for the rest of their lives! With humor and honesty, she shares her own story of transformation from insecure people-pleaser to strong, independent woman. She reveals the personal philosophy that allows her to look and feel fabulous, find love and achieve history-making professional success.

The book also features an impressive list of exclusive interviews, including Gayle King, Venus Williams, Sanaa Lathan, Mo’Nique, Gabrielle Union, Hill Harper, Sarah Jones, Kelly Rowland, Mellody Hobson, Kelis and India.Arie.

Weaving together intimate anecdotes, exclusive celebrity interviews, thought-provoking quizzes, and brilliant-but-basic tips, tricks and tools, Barnett gives women the insight and encouragement to:

  • Identify and pursue their true passions.
  • Let go of any negativity that’s holding them back.
  • Find the man of their dreams—and build a lasting relationship.
  • Achieve your professional goals and accumulate real wealth.
  • Get the body they’ve always wanted.
  • Develop their personal style and nurture their creative talents.
  • Form unbreakable bonds with their family, friends and their higher power.
  • Enjoy life and make every day count!

GET YOURS is a powerful guide that gives all women the tools they need to discover their passion, create their purpose and live adventurous and fulfilling lives.
