Have you ever felt like you wanted to die -- only to realize that you have so much to live for?Rahimah shares this compelling story about her life as an amazing young Black girl, who came of age when she was a daughter, a granddaughter, a motherless child, and a mother. Take this journey with her, as she attempts to walk by faith while learning how to live with love and hate; while coping with life and death; while seeking to understand race and religion; while determining the difference between truth and lies, and while overcoming trials and tribulations.Throughout her life, Rahimah has struggled with fear, rejection, and abandonment. This is a story about vulnerability, insecurity, sexuality, and spirituality. This is a story about being torn between loyalty and integrity; and choosing between self-destruction and self-awareness. This is a story about determination and inspiration. Everyone has a story. This is Rahimah's story. This is her life -- (The Life of Rah).
