Retelling of the Story with Lisa Bent

Shine Out Loud Show

On the show, I have the Author, Presenter and Change Agent with a Psychotherapy and HR background, Lisa Bent. Who is a Jamaican descent writer from South London, whose work examines the inner self-work required to heal and thrive. Her degree in Counselling influences her writing style, and she champions the continuous journey of self-exploration. In 2015, after six years, she concluded the award-nominated blog Deeper Than Twitter. She has contributed to Precious Online, The Tribe and the KOL Social Magazine. She is sharing her journey to creating her first novel Symona's Still Single.
Her brand new novel Symona's Still Single centres on the journey Symona takes to her forever relationship. Symona Brown is a 37-year-old Jamaican British woman living in South London looking for her Mr Right whilst her biological clock loudly ticks on. After a boozy Sunday brunch, she announces to her close girlfriends that she is ready to up her game and starts actively dating, to their surprise and delight. After being consciously single for several years, Symona remembers what worked and what did not in the dating arena.
We delve into Lisa's other works beyond being an author, as a presenter and change maker. We take the conversation on a journey looking at everything going on in the world from George Floyd's death and the Black Lives Matter movement to Black women owning their right to thrive.
