In a world often fixated on the glitz and glam of success, Marquita Moore emerges as a guiding light, illuminating a path toward fulfillment and self-discovery. With her latest book, Feeling God: Search + Connect + Be, Moore invites readers on a transformative journey, drawing from her own experiences as an author, lifestyle entrepreneur and social media influencer.
Moore’s story is one of courage and resilience, a testament to the power of authenticity in the face of societal pressures. Despite achieving remarkable success in the entertainment industry, including roles with renowned networks like BET and Oxygen, and as an executive at Shawn Carter Enterprises and Roc Nation, Moore found herself grappling with a profound sense of disconnection from who she really was.
“At the pinnacle of my career, I realized I was living a life that no longer aligned with my authentic desires,” Moore shares. “I had no idea what happens when you decide to walk away; I just knew I couldn’t go on as I had been,” Moore reflects. “Taking that first step seemed impossible, but once I committed, it started a whole new beginning for me. It was a daunting realization, but it ultimately led me to where I am today.”
Feeling God serves as a roadmap for those navigating similar crossroads in their lives, urging readers to peel back the layers of societal expectations and embrace their inner truths. “In the book, I encourage people to ask themselves the tough questions,” Moore shares. “Who are you? What do you want out of life? How are you showing up in the world?”
Through introspective exercises and heartfelt reflections, Moore directs readers toward a deeper understanding of themselves, encouraging them to build lives that resonate with their core values and aspirations.
But Moore’s influence extends beyond the pages of her book. As the founder of How I Grew Today, an online platform and lifestyle brand, she has cultivated a community dedicated to fostering self-reflection, healing and spiritual growth. Rooted in authenticity and empathy, How I Grew Today provides a sanctuary for individuals seeking connection and support as they work toward personal evolution.
“Creating How I Grew Today was a natural extension of my own quest for self-discovery,” Moore explains. ” Moore explains. ” It’s really a place where I can check-in daily and stop all the distractions happening in my life. It’s also a space where individuals can come together to share their stories, celebrate their victories and support one another through life’s challenges.”
From insightful observations to practical advice on topics ranging from cooking to fashion, How I Grew Today offers a diverse array of resources aimed at nourishing the spirit, soul, and body, highlighting Moore’s holistic approach to living. Her message is clarifying: By dismantling the barriers of self-doubt and societal expectations, individuals can unlock their full potential and live with true intention.
“Real growth begins with self-acceptance,” Moore affirms. “When we allow our authenticity to break through, we not only transform ourselves but also inspire others to do the same. Our healing creates a ripple effect of positive change in the world.”
Though Moore resides in the New York City area with her son, River, her influence spans geographical boundaries, reaching individuals around the globe in need of guidance and inspiration as they seek to lead impactful and meaningful lives.
