Join Shevalle as she guides us through the winding road of her journey. From childhood to womanhood and beyond, readers immerse themselves in each moment of Shevalle's life. Drawn in by her wit, humor, honesty, and "Shevalle-isms," this memoir is a story for all people. Shevaluable offers poignant lessons about enduring and finding joy in every moment through love, loss, triumph, and learning to rise from the ashes.
Raised by her mother– a solid, no-nonsense woman in 1970s New Haven, Connecticut, Shevalle shares her journey through becoming a teenage mother and learning the truth about her mother's adage, "grown folks take care of their own." Through marriage, divorce, raising children, illness, attending school in her late 40's, and being accepted into Yale Divinity School, Shevalle shares her disappointments and successes with candor, pragmatism, and acute self-awareness. Her innate tenacity and inquisitive nature ground her through life's challenges. At each turn, she bravely questions her purpose, identity, and where God is leading her.
Scriptures act as guideposts throughout Shevalle's journey as she remains rooted in her faith through all life's storms. We experience family celebrations, Sunday worship, hardship, and heartbreak, all through the lens of love. Shevaluable is a fascinating story of a woman of soul and substance evolving into gospel ministry while navigating what it means to be human in touch with the Divine.
This memoir bears witness to all the details and events that have forged Shevalle into the Unconventional Pastor who stands and speaks as a woman of God. As readers, we witness her liberation from self-deception to the acceptance of her true self as she discovers exactly what makes her Shevaluable.

First LadyDom is a touching anthology that explores a world unseen by most – intentionally or otherwise: First Ladydom. The role of the First Lady can be lonely, as leadership roles often are. People often fail to acknowledge the humans behind the tailor suits and matching hats. The pressure to perform on behalf of yourself and the Lord while staving off feelings of inadequacy and isolation would make anyone feel hopeless at times.
Preceded by a personalized introduction by Pastor Shevalle Kimber, nine women reflect on their chosen lives. What is it like finding yourself under pressure and scrutiny for a dream you aren’t sure is yours? When some congregation members haven’t bothered to learn your name while they hurry to criticize your outfit or seating placement? When there is no one to fix the fixer, and you fear sacrifice has left you empty? These women strive to keep their best foot forward despite all that stands in their way. Short but poignant – these works are confirmation that regardless of title, we are all entitled to grace, identity, love, and understanding.
