She Didn’t Think She Could Write a Book. Now It’s Opening Doors Everywhere.
Dr. Naeema Olatunji didn’t set out to “become an author.”
She didn’t think she was organized enough.
She didn’t think she could write an entire book.
She knew she needed structure. And support.
Raised as a Lie became more than a memoir.
It became the catalyst for:
• Launching a reinvention coaching platform for women
• Expanding her speaking opportunities
• Strengthening her authority across consulting and advisory work
• Deep personal healing she couldn’t access any other way
In this testimonial, Naeema shares:
• Why she needed “a lot of hand holding” to finally write her book
• How bite-sized structure made the impossible feel doable
• What it meant to unearth painful stories, one assignment at a time
• How writing became therapy, clarity, and reinvention
• Why she says she wouldn’t be here without the program
Every week, she wrote.
Every week, she processed.
Every week, the story got clearer.
The result wasn’t just a published memoir.
It was a new chapter of her life and business.
Dr. Naeema Olatunji is the founder of Sorai Consulting Group and Every Damn Thing, LLC. She serves as an expert witness and IME consultant, and she coaches women—especially Black women over 40—through burnout, reinvention, and identity reclamation.
Her memoir opened doors.
But more importantly, it helped her rewrite the narrative of who she is.
