Zara Hairston proclaims: We are not always responsible for what has happened to us, but it is always our responsibility to heal from it. With a bachelor's degree in journalism from Temple University and a master's in biblical counseling, Zara seamlessly merges her literary prowess with self-healing empowerment. Utilizing both personal and professional experiences in childhood, family, marital, and religious trauma to drive change, it is her lifelong commitment to uplift the voices of those silenced by emotional oppression. Honored as "Best Writer" by the National Association of Black Journalists, recipient of the prestigious DeAnn White Journalism Award, and featured on ESSENCE.com, Zara’s unique calling has garnered acclaim. And she fervently answers that call daily, deeply engaged in advocating for emotional justice as founder and president of the Planted By Calm Creative Group. Hairston unapologetically professes that unless others experience their right to emotional freedom, she cannot fully experience her own. Read Zara’s “It Came 2 Pass” fiction novel series for page-turning storytelling based on true events, and “Dying to Submit” to untangle debilitating misconceptions about submission in marriage.
