Ordained Minister &
Award-Winning Relationship Specialist
 
 
People across the United States and abroad know Dr. Grace as the award-winning relationship specialist, dynamic minister, former TV talk show psychologist, and noted author of several bestselling books.  But there is much more to the story of the woman who has already impacted thousands of people with the life-saving, healthy relationship-building message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  At the tender age of 10, Dr. Grace witnessed the brutal murder of her mother (an international fashion model) by an ex who became a stalker.  After overcoming that early childhood tragedy, Dr. Grace determined that her life's mission would be helping individuals and families to avoid all forms of unhealthy relationships, and instead, build balanced lives of respect, self-worth, healthy love, and strong family bond with God at the very center. 

Dr. Grace, who earned a Ph.D. in Social Psychology (1997), and an M.P.S. in Urban Ministry (2002), is an anointed minister and genuine humanitarian, who specializes in all areas of relationships.  She has won several awards for her effective relationship & life-empowerment programs, and for her on-going community and international outreach, including recognition by Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the East, and the Smithsonian Institute's Anacostia Museum.  In March of 2000, Ebony magazine named Dr. Grace as a favorite "motivational" expert along with Bishop T.D. Jakes and Oprah Winfrey.  In the same year Dr. Grace received two major awards from the Institute of Caribbean Studies in Washington D.C. and from Women at The Top of Their Game, Inc. in Chicago.  In November of 2004, she won the prestigious "Woman of the Year" Award from Women of Substances Ministries, Inc.  And, in June of 2009, Dr. Grace was honored by The City of New York, where she received the "Award of Distinction for Leadership and Service" from The New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr.

Bestselling Author

 

Dr. Grace is a prolific and award-winning author whose relationship and life-empowerment books are enormously popular throughout the United States, Europe and the Caribbean.  Her 10 Choices books series, published by Crown Publishers (a division of Random House), has continuously-topped several national and international bestsellers lists, while her follow-up title, You Deserve Healthy Love, Sis, has carved a unique niche in the lives of women worldwide.  The format of her groundbreaking bestseller, The Band-Aid Bond (How to uncover the hidden causes and break the pattern of unhealthy loving), is being used as a guideline by many leading psychologists, pastors, and counselors across America and abroad. Its delightful companion, The Sacred Bond (7 spiritual truths to recognize and marry your very own soul mate), is endorsed by ministers, therapists and celebrities, and is being used as a training manual and "required reading" by many Singles Ministries and women's groups in America and England.  The first printing of her latest book, The Sanctified Bond (A simple understanding for a life empowering relationship with Jesus through the Holy Spirit of God), co-authored with her 12-year-old daughter, Dena, became an instant favorite when it sold-out within the first 30 minutes at its 2006 Barnes & Noble launch.
