I became very curious as to why Mary Magdalene was so maligned in the New Testament. I love to do research and so I began looking at how she was seen in other cultures. Although most of the traditional scholars write and talk about her from the New Testament concept, in France I saw the Black Madonas associated with Mary Magdalene. That created a new potential and possibility about her.
“I have a passion to uncover history that has almost been obliterated from the annals of history, and especially that of women.”
Her other books are A Christmas Awakening and Awakening the Genie Within.
