ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Author • Nurse • Mentor • Advocate

A woman with long, curly hair and a bright smile, wearing a light blue top, standing outdoors during sunset.

Paula B. is a devoted mother, grandmother, Registered Nurse, and the author behind the Poverty to Power™ movement.

Born and raised in the rural South under challenging circumstances, she overcame abandonment, poverty, and instability — hardships that shaped her early years and forced her to grow up far too soon.

Guided by faith, resilience, and a fierce determination to rewrite her story, Paula became a nurse, a mentor, and now an author whose mission is to help others break cycles, heal deeply, and rise into the lives they were created for.

Today, she shares her hard-earned wisdom through books, journals, and practical tools that encourage readers to grow, transform, and step boldly into the fullness of who they were meant to be.

Poverty to Power: Master Your Mind, Transform Your Life

Book titled 'Poverty to Power' by Paula B. with a cover image of a muddy hand holding a rusty key with a glowing light at the tip, set against a cosmic background.

I believe that no matter your story, your upbringing, or your past, you hold the power to rise. My books, journals, and faith-centered tools are designed to help you break cycles, renew your mind, and build a life rooted in purpose, strength, and grace.

My journey began in hardship — poverty, instability, abandonment, and a childhood filled with challenges I never asked for. But through faith, wisdom, discipline, and resilience, I found a way to rise… and now I’m here to walk with you as you rise, too.
