Book excerpt: Empowered Women of Social Media: Finding Global Unity in Social Communities is a compilation featuring 32 stories from around the world. Each woman who wrote her story met on a Facebook group. With power and resolve, they said YES to telling their story, some for the very first time. Hot Pink Publishing has a mission of empowering women to write their story no matter how painful, to enjoy a life free of sadness and pain.
