by LASHEIKA C. BOYD

Vanessa R. Tracy is a native of Brundidge, Alabama. She is a public speaker, Author, grandmother of four, and mother to the beautiful Melody Shari of Love and Marriage Huntsville. The hundredth episode aired on April 29th, 2023.

God has blessed Vanessa to be able to live her life as she wants to and on her terms. The freedom that she has in her life now is truly exciting. The Author is her true self on and off the screen. She describes herself as humble, loyal, and blessed. Those characteristics shine through. She has a calm, laid back demeanor and handles herself with grace and poise on camera. Vanessa says that she has gotten used to being a celebrity and she loves interacting with her fans. Something that people may not know about the Author is that she has a great sense of humor. “Laughter is good for us all” said that author. She would prank people when she was pregnant with Melody and making people laugh continued and it always will.

Vanessa R. Tracy did not have a vision of being an author at a young age. She wanted to be a news anchor. She had a gift of public speaking and writing award winning speeches in high school. As the author got older and life experiences happened, she started writing her most intimate thoughts in a journal. Ms. Tracy’s first novel “Ushered but Yet abandoned”: The Mask of a First Lady are writings from her journal. Her first draft came from a deep hurt, by the time she wrote her second draft she was starting to heal, by her third and final draft she was a completely healed woman and on her way to the life she deserved.

The Author loves spending time with her four beautiful grandchildren which she has written books for and about. You can find her books “Chronicles of a Grandmother-Mother” on her website www. Vanessartracy.com. They are also available at Target, Amazon, and Walmart. Vanessa is teaching her grandchildren to have a personal relationship with God. The legacy that she wants to leave her grandchildren is t eaching them who God is and she has laid that foundation. Doing something every day to please God is so important to Ms. Tracy and she takes one day at a time to do that. Her love for God is everything to her.

When Ms. Tracy is not spending time with her grandchildren and daughter, she is reading a good book, working in her flower garden, or visiting the elderly at nursing homes. She loves to sit and converse with them. They enjoy the company. “To brighten someone’s day is so rewarding,” said the author.

Vanessa would like her fans to know, “If there is something that you want to do in your spirit, do it”, Don’t let people’s opinions and negative words stop you because words can penetrate and follow you”. “Never take life for granted”.

It was such an honor and a pleasure interviewing Ms. Tracy. She is truly a Godly woman.
