Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 06, 2017 -- Thursday, April 13, 2017 at 7pm EST, Barnes & Noble will host Dr. Karen R. January’s Book Signing at their Upper West Side location 2289 Broadway New York, NY 10024 to present “Lessons Mama Never Taught Me”. The Q&A will be moderated by Actress Imani Hakim, Former Child Star from UPN’s “Everybody Hates Chris”, Netflix’s “Burning Sands” and Syfy’s “Sharknado 4”.
"Lessons Mama Never Taught Me" (LMNTM) addresses universal issues which impact women, men and children of different cultures, and shares how to overcome life's burdens and challenges. “LMNTM captivates readers with candid stories about extramarital affairs, abortion, internet dating, abuse, chemical dependency, mental illness, rape, gender identity, and topics that have been minimally addressed or not addressed at all. The book follows dramatic real - life stories of ten women who fell into the depths of darkness because of specific lessons never taught by their mothers.
Imani Hakim will ask “taboo” questions during the Q&A in a colorful yet sophisticated way to bring forward answers to questions many are afraid to ask and answers all women should have in order to feel worthy of healthy relationships.
Imani landed her first television role in 2005 as one of the leads in the hit TV show “Everybody Hates Chris,” followed by guest star appearances on many shows such as “ER,” “CSI,” “State of Affairs,” “The Replacements,” “Wizards of Waverly Place,” and others.
