Driven: Reflections on Love, Career and the Pursuit of Happiness

By Venise Berry

Driven, Reflections on Love, Career and the Pursuit of Happiness explores my evolution as one of those bra-burning, pants-wearing, education-getting, money-making, opinion-having, sex-enjoying, career-focused Black women who grew up in the 70's deciding to live life and live it abundantly with or without a man.

Like many career women, I flew through my twenties and thirties and forties, but fifty brought everything to a sudden stop. My fiftieth birthday was like a spiritual thief that snuck up behind me, held a gun to my head, and demanded my soul. That milestone triggered a deep longing to better understand the choices I'd made in my life, to examine my journey.

Offering words of wisdom, personal examples, cultural analysis, historical context, and suggestions for change, these essays will help readers think about the complexity of life's choices and the challenges facing women today, particularly when it comes to relationships vs. careers.
