Conversation with Dr. Yolanda and Author Terease Baker Bell

Terease Baker-Bell is a 22-year Sales and Marketing Professional who has worked with IBM, and Microsoft and is currently Regional Vice President | Tableau Alliances at Salesforce and founder and CEO of Selinity Incorporated. Terease Baker-Bell founded SelinityInc. in February 2009, a year after getting divorced and, begrudgingly, becoming a single mother. She has overcome several major setbacks in life but has triumphed in every situation and has acquired a passion for helping others to do the same.

In her powerful book, Terease Baker-Bell provides Biblical insights and truths to transform your thinking. She chronicles a 12-week Bible study on being single conducted during the 2020 pandemic with a group of women. She draws on her personal experiences to illustrate how God rescued her from the pain of divorce, established her as a single mother of two, and catapulted her as a career woman of twenty-five years. She introduces you to a process of learning to depend on God rather than man while demystifying biblical truths on waiting, dating, and relationships.
