Fancy: How would you describe your swagher? What makes Lynette, Lynette?
Lynette: My swagher is bold. I believe in living out loud, seizing the moment, and making the best out of every situation by turning each of life’s lessons into unlimited blessings. What makes Lynette, Lynette? My willingness to think outside of the box makes me who I am. I am not afraid to stand alone or follow the road less traveled. I am a firm believer that what God has for me is mine, therefore I don’t have to rush the process or try to figure out what lies ahead; I can simply live each day at ease. I take pride in the ability to become better instead of bitter; wiser instead of weaker.
Fancy: What sparked your passion for writing?
Lynette: In 2011 I was given a book about inspiring women by a family member, they wanted me to read the book since I was always trying to inspire others. I took one look at the cover of the book and thought, if I wanted too, I bet I could write a book to help inspire others. Just like that the idea came to me, I sat at my computer, grabbed my bible, and said, ‘Lord if this is your will, please make a way.’ Within six hours, I had the title and the first 28 pages to my first book. I have been writing and publishing books every since.
Fancy: Is it safe to say that you also coach through your writings?
Lynette: Of course, in fact, the majority of my coaching is through written words. I believe that you can reach others through writing. When you coach through writing you allow the reader to interpret the book for themselves and apply it to their lives as needed. They can then return back to the written words at any time and utilize it to help them on their journey in life.
Fancy: You also write across different genres. Is that ever a challenge for you?
Lynette: Writing in itself is a challenge for me. I am not a traditional writer. I am an emotional writer. Every book, except the journal, was inspired by a significant life event. I use writing as my therapy when I am dealing with life events and having a difficult time coping. I write to release my emotions. All of the books were inspired during seasonal changes in my life; they were not planned. The first four books were written when I was building my foundation in Christ and learning who I was, while the three urban fiction books were written as a result of bad break-ups and during times that I questioned my faith. The children’s book was written after I lost my mother. She battled mental illness for most of my life, and after she died, I wrote the children’s book Birdie’s Way to shed light on mental illness and the impact it has on children. My ‘Unstoppable’ interactive journal is the only project that I completed on purpose. It was something that I wanted to do for me, something to help push me towards being a better person while motivating others to do the same.
Fancy: So your ‘Unstoppable’ interactive journal inspired your Unstoppable collection. Can you tell us a little more about the collection?
Lynette: The Unstoppable collection is a collection of apparel and limited accessories. There are t-shirts, hoodies, cell phone case covers, and laptop sleeves just to name a few. The collection is simply to help you feel unstoppable. With the hustle and bustle of life, we forget and need to be reminded that we are truly unstoppable. We each have something unique about us that allows us to do great things. The collection reminds us to keep going, it motivates us to never quit, and most importantly it ignites us to become unstoppable.
Fancy: What are one or two ways, we can practice being Unstoppable in 2020?
Lynette: Various steps to being unstoppable are included in my online course “Unstoppable 2020â€, but two of the ways to practice being unstoppable is by releasing negativity and finding your ‘Why’.
Once you release the negativity in your life (negative people, toxic environments, negative thinking) you can then focus more on yourself and when you do you will be able to find your ‘why’. Why do I exist? What am I passionate about? What are my life goals? Once you find your ‘why’, you will be on your way towards becoming unstoppable.
