Author Jahza Hall (Philadelphia, PA)

I want to thank my coach, Tiphane` Purnell, for taking the time to not just coach me but to hold me accountable to complete my book assignments. Usually, when booking a service, people give you what you pay for and just that, but to her, it wasn’t about just the money. Tiphane's passion is for her clients to succeed. The day I contacted Tiphane to sign onto the Pen It Project, it was like she knew exactly what I needed before me saying too much. Once I told her about my story, she was then able to pull more out of me beyond what I wanted my readers to know. When I reached out to Tiphane, I told no one, and I was in the middle of planning my wedding and working multiple jobs, but she still encouraged me that I could accomplish my goal. I had a choice to wait, but with contacting Tiphane, I left the conversation believing that I can and WILL do it. I really want to thank her. Not just for this project, but for the many projects and fellowships to come.
