CHOICEZ is a motivational book that will help you to learn to make better choices much earlier. It is a coffee table book with great photos. It has a long shelf life. It is sized to fit everyone. It will not go out of style. It doesn’t contain calories or trans-fat.

The moving memoir reveals lessons learned about the reality of negative inter-dependent relationships. "Choicez do matter"
Aginah masterfully weaves readers along her journey revealing her poor choices and how they impact her life.

TUNGUSKA BLAST! A Powerful Energy & Hair Tonic
Hey Aginah I saw this valuable HAIR information posted at your blog; http://choicezthebook.blogspot.com
I hear this product really does stimulate hair growth. One of your clients work with me and I remember her mentioning this product last year. She told me that she was experiencing baldness since age 30 around her hairline and at the top of her head and nothing else through the years has helped. But since she has began drinking T-Blast ev… Continue

CHOICEZ ...How They Impact Our Lives ... from readers
I just read the book CHOICEZ and WOW! I applaud Aginah for her courage and determination. The book manages to engage and captivate you from the very beginning. It is a powerful story of a women's struggle that we all can relate to. As I read through the paragraphs I was right there with her and found a "connection" with Aginah's experiences as a mother, entrepreneur, and women growing up fast. CHOICEZ is indeed a story for all Women. It is a great story with a powerful message.

Congratulations on an EXCELLENT book
Dear Ms. Aginah,
My husband gave me your book at 6:45 AM this morning (5/31/08) and I finished reading it at 1:00 PM (5/31/08) and it took me that long because I had to stop reading to take my daughter to get her hair done.
I'm simply writing to tell you that your story had a phenomenal impact on me and truly resonated because of some of the choices that I, myself have made, as well as my mother, but have decided that I will stop the generational curse to be passed down to my only daughter. Yo… Continue

A Comments from one of our readers:
Thank you for allowing a platform of expression for the Home Girl, CEO.
You and your vision are both absolutely FABULOUS!
As far As my home based business, I haven't completely taking the plunge but, I'm 90% there!
Here's my thing:
I can no longer fall victim to a work place that has not set up ample respect for the single mom! My last job wanted me to work from 4pm-1am. In my opinion, they were telling me to forget about my family, and forget about having a life and let someone else raise your child!
To me, that's truly unacceptable as well as, on the other hand, motivating.
I can't continue to do the same thing and get the same results. I think they call that "insanity", right!
For me, that was a serious wake up call. So now, I'm working through this thing called "fear" and it's been a douzie! However, I plan to succeed at all cost.
I have too! I'm not giving myself any other option and you shouldn't either.
Always remember that we come from a background of strong survivors that would do anything for the price of freedom, even risk loosing their lives.
So , on that note, lets expect to succeed. Let's plan, organize, and execute! Let's be that person that we are waiting to show up! Let's do the do! Let's make a committment to hold each other accountable for success. I'll take the stand first.

I saw your email about the Choicez Essay Contest and I have a question. I am currantly mentoring with a program called Girls Track. It's an enrichment program for girls ages 13 to 17. We have 50 girls enrolled, and one of the things that we teach them is the importance of making the right choices in life.
I would like to present your contest to them once I check with the program directors. Once they let me know if it is OK and how many girls they think would be interested in participating, then I would like to purchase the books for the girls.
Can you let me know if there is a discount for organizations and or groups and how long delivery takes?
thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Just stopping by your page.
For being there. I appreciate you not forgetting me. Is there a number or email I can reach you on. I want to order your book. I have not forgotten that either.
Dawn
