SIMONE OLIVER
A REVISIONED
WOMAN
A ReVisioned Woman
I have been committed to the spiritual care of women and girls for 15+ years, bringing healing to wounded hearts and finding solutions to gender-based violence through prevention and awareness education.
I have authored and co-authored five books: From Grace to Grace: A Prayer & Healing Journal, In Realitea, She is Me, God Said I Am Battle Scar Free, Gumbo for the Soul: The Recipe for Literacy in the Black Community, and my latest work The Pearl of God's Eye. I am an honored recipient of the Phoenix Award from Harambe Social Services for work in the field of domestic violence and while in Princeton Theological Seminary, I was the distinguished recipient of the John Allen Swink Award for Excellence in Preaching. I’m also a member of the Women of Color Network and the NJ Coalition to End Domestic Violence, but my greatest joy is life with my husband and daughter.
