Mia Dalene Marcum-McCoy is more than a survivor.
The author, mother of two, philanthropist, renowned raw food chef and proud BEST board member, is also an individual living with a traumatic brain injury. And while by definition, she survived some challenging experiences and events, she took her healing and life path on an unexpected but extraordinary journey.
She learned to sing.
And we are not talking the kind of singing we do with our voices. Instead, Marcum-McCoy sang from her soul and her experiences, all of them, good and bad. She embarked on a journey to find ways to heal her body and her mind; it is with that journey that she discovered that her future would not be limited by her brain injury. Instead, she found the purpose to a new life, new dreams and new experiences.
“Phenomenal Brain Power: From Brain Injury to Brain Awakening,” is the inspirational account of Marcum-McCoy’s powerful journey of regrouping after injury and preparing for a new life of hope and possibility. Prepare to be inspired, as Marcum-McCoy chronicles her challenges and triumphs, with courage, tenacity and optimism (there’s even some amazing recipes included, as an added bonus).
