Lashunda Smith holds book signing for “I Double Dare You to Dream” at Olive or Twist, Aug. 30

Lashunda Smith will be hosting a book signing for her first book “I Double Dare You to Dream” August 30, 2014 at Olive or Twist restaurant located at 81 Broadway, Asheville, NC. The book “ I Double Dare You To Dream” is a title that is self-explanatory. But it’s also so much more. Budding Author LaShunda Smith challenges you to look beyond your current circumstances, focus on whatever dream you have, and bull’s eye! Make that dream come to life. “What inspires me is GOD, love, and the possibility to create a better tomorrow. Knowing that tomorrow gives me a second chance to be better than I am today,” Smith remarks about her book.

Through a life of struggle to help support her family, joining the military to do so, being released due to injury, and eventually moving to LA to pursue an acting career, Smith never lost sight what she worked hard to obtain. “You have everything within you to be everything you want to be. You can be pitiful or powerful, it’s up to you to choose. Be the change you want to see,” Smith said. The book also includes biblical messages and scriptures to daily life’s struggles and prospers.

Smith is all about motivation and self empowerment entrepreneurship through her “D4G Collection” otherwise known as “Destined for Greatness”. The clothing line was designed to start positive conversations during daily travels. After all, you are what you wear! The clothing represents a business card of sorts, if you will, and through this, it is possible to find others with life goals similar to your own.
