Heal. Experience at Atlanta. The event will be held at the Pink Charm Boutique located at 3029 Grandview Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30305.
The Chicago native published her first book back in October 2018 titled I’m Writing My Wrongs, I’m Not Righting My Wrongs available on Amazon.
The Write. Paint. Heal. Experience hits Atlanta in May
Since released, the thought-provoking novel has touched and healed many women of color who can relate to Inita’s past life of insecurities, not being able to look at herself in the mirror, people pleasing, uncertainty and stagnation. She even went as far as designing an intimate women’s workshop by the name of “The Write. Paint. Heal. Experience” which focuses on helping women move forward and begin to heal through creative writing, artistry and public speaking.
Inita has also ghost authored books for people like Evan Holyfield son to Evander Holyfield, Atlanta rap artist J Torah, a luxury real estate agent, and a former NFL player. Recently, she closed a deal to ghostwrite a novel for a retired NFL player who has not given consent to release his name. However, Inita is writing faithfully whether it be for herself or for people who are inspired by her work.
In addition, Inita is a loving mother of two and is an entrepreneur. Winning people with her smile and gentleness, Inita plans on taking her women’s workshop across the country impacting one woman at a time.

In today’s society, many of us are struggling in our relationships – good or bad – happy or sad – we are striving to make them better than they were yesterday. From our personal observation, the issue that many us have is, that we react more from our emotional side than the practical side, meaning we “feel this way” more than “I thought this” with respect to the issue.Last year we created and hosted a series of events entitled Kocktails & Konversations with a few close friends, as a panel discussion on “What It Takes For Proper Relationship Development.” The focus of the discussion was – Where our emotions should stop and where critical thinking should begin in our love relationship development. We decided to begin the serious again one expand the platform, this time we have invited local celebrities to sit on a panel and discuss a variety of topics.Each of the co-panelist have similar, yet diverse backgrounds allowing attendees to relate in different aspect to the panelist views / perspective on Love and Relationships. We invite you to come participate ask questions, see how we relate to others, and make new friends.Explore Atlanta at your own pace
