AAALAC 🌟 Celebrating an Inspirational Queen for International Women's History Month! 🌟Triveda Harris


🌟 Celebrating an Inspirational Queen for International Women's History Month! 🌟

Today, we want to shine a spotlight on an incredible woman who embodies strength, resilience, and the power of faith. Triveda S. Harris, born and raised in Spartanburg, SC, has faced numerous challenges throughout her life, but she has never allowed them to define her. Instead, she has used them as stepping stones to help others and spread hope.

Triveda is a loving mother to three children, Kyla, Micah, and Nathan, who provide her with endless joy and keep her grounded. She is also a proud grandmother of two, cherishing the precious moments spent with her precious grandchildren. 

Triveda's journey has not been an easy one. She is a stroke survivor and a Chiari Malformation warrior. For those who may not be aware, Chiari Malformation is a serious neurological brain condition without a cure. Despite this, Triveda has not let it hold her back. Instead, she has dedicated herself to raising awareness about this condition and being a voice for others who are affected by it.

Not only is Triveda a testament to resilience, but she is also an achiever in the professional sphere. She holds an Associate Degree in Applied Science Medical Office Administration and currently works as a Medical Receptionist for an urgent care facility. In addition to her demanding job, she is a self-published author and the proud owner of Wings Of Transformations Publishing LLC.

Triveda's literary accomplishments are truly inspiring. She has written three books that showcase her talent and her ability to channel her experiences into powerful words. Her first book, "My Poetry, My Peace; My Soul Release," is a collection of heartfelt poems. The second book, "Chiari Malformation Struggle, Strength & Success Chiari Malformation Won’t Win," delves into her personal journey with Chiari Malformation and how she has found strength in the face of adversity. Lastly, "Overcoming Childhood Trauma; My Journey To Healing" is a poignant memoir that highlights her path to healing and resilience.

Despite her own challenges, Triveda is always thinking of others. She recently completed an anthology book for her first client, which has already garnered significant attention as it currently holds the #5 spot on the new releases list. Furthermore, she has also been invited to be part of another anthology book in April 2022 and a poetry anthology book in June 2022.

In her unwavering pursuit of growth and self-discovery, Triveda has stepped outside of her comfort zone and ventured into the world of podcasting. She is a proud member of the "Believe In The Journey" podcast team, where she continues to learn and grow while sharing her perspectives and insights with others.

Triveda's journey serves as a reminder that life's obstacles can be transformed into opportunities for personal growth and empowerment. Her stroke and Chiari Malformation have undoubtedly impacted the way her brain operates and retains information, but she remains determined to keep her mind active and thriving. Through it all, she has relied on her deep faith in God, finding solace and strength in 2 Corinthians 5:7: "Walk By Faith And Not By Sight."

Today, we celebrate Triveda S. Harris as an inspirational queen who has turned her pain into purpose, empowering others along the way. We applaud her for her resilience, her dedication to spreading awareness about Chiari Malformation, and her unwavering faith. Triveda's story is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and we are truly blessed to have her as one of God's vessels.

If you are interested in exploring Triveda's incredible literary works, her books are available for purchase on Amazon or through direct purchase from her. Let's come together and celebrate Triveda Harris as a shining example of strength, resilience, and inspiration for International Women's History Month. 🌟

She has an Associate Degree in Applied Science Medical Office Administration, currently works as a Medical Receptionist for an urgent care facility.

Triveda just completed an anthology book for her first client. It is #5 on the new releases. Triveda has also been part of her first anthology book in April 2022 and her first poetry anthology book in June 2022. She decided to step outside of her comfort zone and become part of a podcast team. The name of the podcast is Believe In The Journey. It has been such a learning experience but Triveda definitely loves it. She is always challenging herself to learn and teach herself new things because of her stroke and Chiari. They both have affected the way her brain operates and retains information. Chiari Malformation is a progressive condition so she has to keep her brain as active as possible which is the main reason she did not ask or seek help from anyone but God. She dealt with a lot of criticism along the way but has seen my own growth and I am proud of my imperfect start. Triveda’s favorite scripture is 2 Corinthians 5:7 Walk By Faith And Not By Sight because it was her faith in God that brought her through and what continues to guide her. God gets all the credit. She's blessed to be one of His vessels.
