About the Book:

From “rising superstar” (BET), comedic actress, and online personality Pretty Vee comes a 100-day devotional and guided journal to help you define your goals, find the strength to reach them, and unapologetically go out and get what you’ve been dreaming of.

Pretty Vee, a multi-talented comedian, actress, and philanthropist, has crafted a captivating and unique devotional blending humor, sincerity, and relatability to help make the path to spiritual enlightenment accessible and engaging for everyone. She lives by the mantra “a delay is not a denial,” meaning we all have hopes and dreams, but we may need a little help to get past the hurdles. She herself has faced the anxiety of not knowing how to move forward in her life, before her mother, who is a pastor, helped her recenter and find her purpose. Far too often, life pushes us to move from one task to the next, creating a perpetual cycle of doing, doing, doing without ever taking a moment to simply sit and relish our blessings. We get so caught up in the hustle that we forget to look around and be grateful for what we already have, and what we’ve already accomplished.

This 100-day devotional is meant to be a guided journal to help you reach your goals and find a deeper connection with God while prioritizing your mental and emotional health. Pretty Vee includes prompts to help you reflect on your journey towards gratitude, stillness, and speaking your truth. Her many friends and mentors, including Shaquille O’Neal, Issa Rae, Lil Duval, Tiffany Haddish, Kierra Sheard, and Charlamagne Tha God also add their visions for a Pretty Victory.

While Pretty Vee has one foot firmly in entertaining, she also sees part of her path as helping to give back. With The Pretty Victory, she shows that brokenness doesn’t last forever. And that miracles, hope, and ultimately victories are all there for you too.
