I, Djemilah Birnie, have always loved to write. I began to publish my work in 2020 and even hit the best seller charts on Amazon. After publishing my first book independently in 2020 and hitting #1 Amazon best seller I began to have many people reaching out to me who had always wanted to publish a book. What I realized through this process is that there are so many experts out there that just simply do not have the time to write and publish their own book. My wheels began to turn and I began to think about how I could help get more people's stories to the world.

In November of 2020 I read the book Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. Within it's pages I found myself remembering a deep truth about the immense power that we hold inside of ourselves. This book happened to be annotated by one of our very own authors here, Sharon Lechter.

In December of 2020 as I was preparing for the launch of The Becoming the Big Me Podcast I mentioned to my now partner how I would love to have Sharon on my show. Fast forward to January 28th, 2021 and I am interviewing Sharon Lechter for my podcast (two days after my golden birthday) and Sharon ended up being the very first interview that aired on The Becoming the Big Me Podcast, episode 3 - The Power of Associations with Sharon Lechter.

Sharon shared with me her story- from all of her successes- to the most devastating loss and what she chose to do afterwards.

From talking books to Rich Dad Poor Dad and her work with the Napoleon Hill foundation and then later to the Play Big Movement, Sharon taught me the power of collaboration.

Over the next couple months the vision of this book became clear to me and I got to work!

While this book didn't take me long to put together after becoming clear on the vision- it has been a lifetime in the making.

So.... long story short... The Becoming the Big Me: The Great Conquest book was divinely inspired and brought together by synchronicities.
