Chanel Speedy®️ popped into It’s Just A Conversation Podcast with hosts Ceon and Marcus to promote her book Eye See Reality, speak her truth and offer laughs. Her intellect, comedic approach, and personality flowed just as eloquently and refreshing as the tone of her voice. Her assertive nature, confidence behind her experiences to translate into meaningful messages and give her standpoint within any topic thrown at her was entertaining.
Chanel Speedy®️ deep diving into her book Eye See Reality
To have her on the show and navigate through her resume, professional background and offer insight in regards to financial literacy, social issues and being innovative has demonstrated longevity, dedication and being fearless.
Eye See Reality written by Chanel Speedy®️ her authorial debut is for a mature audience with a poetic heart, as the volumes of three generations are compiled into fictional poems, letters, soliloquies and short stories. This penned exploration is shining a light on love, loss, personal matters, resilience, and growth. This book is for her, she who has faced difficulties and lived beyond her wildest dreams. This is for her, she who exudes an undeniable amount of strength to encourage you, YoU, and YOU to continue to shine your inner light beam. Despite the reality she has seen.
Eye See Reality is a fictional and raw component of the senses through the composition of vanity and the pitfalls of being a woman. Often, while reading an anthology of poems they are not interwoven to connect the fabric of character development.
What is the focal point of what we see as the reader? What does she carry on her sleeve from her experiences? What is the little girl looking forward to becoming with a higher form of self to make her decision?
