About The Author Ayanna Mills Gallow overcame silence from childhood trauma and found her voice becoming a best-selling author. It is her goal to help people avoid living in shame so that they will not suffer in silence. She believes that transparency is the key to eliminate guilt and shame because it fosters peace and freedom. Free From Silence was inspired by the visionary author's best-selling devotional, God & Hip Hop, a 21 day biblical devotional inspired by Hip Hop. The visionary author received several testimonials about how God & Hip Hop helped others as a result of her personal transformation. Therefore, she compiled a novel based off 12 transformational stories to help even more people.
