In a time when representation and leadership matter more than ever, author and youth empowerment advocate Sherrika Myers proudly announces the release of her inspiring new children’s book, Leader Guided By God.
The book tells the remarkable true story of the legendary Reggie Burgess, North Charleston, South Carolina’s first African American Police Chief and first African American Mayor, highlighting a journey rooted in faith, perseverance, discipline, and purpose.
New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain
Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.
The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.
Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!

Designed for elementary-aged readers, A Leader Guided By God introduces children to a living example of leadership, resilience, and integrity. Through engaging storytelling and age-appropriate language, the book teaches young readers that greatness is possible — regardless of obstacles, background, or circumstances.
“This book is about showing children that Black history is not just something we read about in the past — it is still being written today,” says Myers. “When children see leaders who look like them serving with faith and courage, it expands their belief in what they can become.”
A Story of Faith, Leadership, and Perseverance
A Leader Guided By God walks readers through the Mayor’s journey — from his early years and commitment to education, to his historic rise in law enforcement leadership, and ultimately to becoming the first African American Chief and Mayor of North Charleston, South Carolina.
The book emphasizes:
• The power of faith in leadership
• The importance of discipline and education
• The value of surrounding yourself with positive influences
• The courage it takes to lead with integrity
By highlighting a real-life leader who overcame barriers and broke ceilings, the book serves as both a literacy tool and a leadership blueprint for the next generation.
Empowering the Next Generation Through Representation
Research continues to show that children benefit greatly from seeing positive role models who reflect their identity and lived experiences. Through A Leader Guided By God, Myers aims to provide culturally relevant literature that builds confidence, character, and aspiration among youth — particularly in underserved communities.
The book is already being used during school assemblies and literacy initiatives throughout Black History Month and beyond, helping students understand that leadership is not just about titles — it is about service, faith, and commitment to community.
