Rebecca was brought up in the ghetto, never had a good education, and her job didn’t have any remote relation to being a writer. Yet when she started dreaming, her work became the stuff of dreams, figuratively. And even when no one saw any sense in it, that’s all she wrote. She shares her spiritual journey of how having nothing of what you need dictates nothing about what you do and what your dream tells you to make real, or more, magic.

Rebecca Tinkle is an enchanting writer and speaker. She draws the parallels between being an underdog and achieving true greatness. She shares tips on how to turn a life that “doesn’t look good on paper” into a rich and satisfying story of triumph that will not only inspire you, but those around you as well. Humorously using her own experiences of “not being good at anything” to demonstrate how a lack of education, skills, and talents unlocked the two keys to ultimate success… tenacity and authenticity.
