In 2008, Afrika Abney worked tirelessly on promoting my young adult book—“Is NO Not Clear Enough for you?” She used her connections and experience to promote my work Internet wide and in many newspapers and weeklies in my home state of Florida. She also created flyers and advertisements for my events. Many things were done before even asking. She is a tireless promoter, with reasonable fees. - Angelia Vernon Menchan, author: Is NO Not Clear Enough For You?; SCHAE’S STORY: A Woman's Transformation; and RAMBLINGS: A Booked Blog
As the testimonials make clear, Afrika M. Asha Abney, a 35 year-old native Washingtonian, is multitalented. Some people have called her a Renaissance Woman.
