About Me

Jason A. Michael and JAM Books in cooperation with Glenda Gracia and the Estate of Phyllis Hyman present STRENGTH OF A WOMAN: The Phyllis Hyman Story - AVAILABLE NOW AT WWW.PHYLLISHYMANSTORY.COM!Bringing this story to life has been an amazing journey, and it's not over yet. I need the prayers and positive energy of Phyllis fans everywhere to make this project a success. The publishing industry had no faith in our girl, but I know she is much beloved and that her story is sure to touch many. So I'm stepping out on faith and releasing it myself. Stand with me and you're sure to be blessed!

Props for Phyllis
