"GIRL, DON'T PLAY! PRAY" — AUTHOR INA JOHNSON MYERS RELEASES BOOK THAT HELPS WOMEN RECOGNIZE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP RED FLAGS

Ina Johnson Myers, a speaker and certified life coach who is also the author of Girl, Don't Play!!! Pray!!!! She is a 24-year retired Combat Veteran with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and a survivor of MST (Military Sexual Trauma). She is also the mother of 3 and grandmother of 6, and was raised in Gary Indiana by a father and mother duo of WWII veterans who also served our country in the 1940s.

Her book, Girl, Don't Play!!! Pray!!!!, was written to help mitigate some of the confusion, anxiety, and pain professional women endure who may be seeking to be in a lasting relationship or marriage.

She comments, "By sharing my own experiences and research throughout my life, I hope to equip them with the tools and knowledge to make wiser decisions on matters that will devastatingly affect their spiritual, personal, and family life, their career, their moral compass, as well as their finances. In sharing my experiences with toxic relationships and the pains of depression, suicidal thoughts, devaluation, and humiliation endured as the result, I hoped to help other professional women be cognizant of who they allow to sit at their table and not ignore the red flags they see and hear in their search for that perfect partner."
