Insightful and motivational, confident and spiritual, thought-provoking and funny, STRUT offers a voice of courage and inspiration that is unmistakably clear: a woman is powerful enough to redefine the life she lives, and to become something vitally important to this new world-a leader of change. Women are often taught they have little power. Samar Shera rejects that notion. As a Muslim woman, she discarded labels and overcame her darkest struggles in favor of profound self-awareness. In STRUT, Samar offers a unique perspective on reconnecting with the powerful feminine force. Through her own personal experiences, Samar illustrates how this force is a part of the masculine and feminine balanced within all of us, regardless of circumstance, and allows each woman to participate in something even greater than individual self-awareness. Through simple and profound actions-such as overcoming limiting mind-sets, allowing for deep and transformative self-reflection, and reconnecting with your body-you have the power to change the trajectory of the entire global community.
