SYNOPSIS
When Vanessa copped a gig at Uptown Records (now defunct)—whose roster included platinum-selling artists such as Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Heavy D & The Boyz, Al B. Sure!, Father MC, Guy—she was for certain that money, power, and fame were lying in wait around the corner. To her surprise, the only thing lurking ‘round the bend was a maximum-security prison awaiting to snatch her up and strip her of her dignity. In time, however, she would discover that her dignity and the high seat she sat on in the music game weren’t the only things in life she’d been stripped of.
BEFORE TRUTH SET ME FREE chronicles the journey of a sweet, innocent fool BEFORE her twin flame—unknowingly and spontaneously—activated her Kundalini, sending her onto a fast track to ascension and self-love, and setting her free from some of the greatest lies ever told.
