CHARLOTTE, N.C. - s4story -- Acclaimed writer and communications strategist Tamika Morrison Okeleke steps into the spotlight with her transformational debut, Chosen: The Sacred Journey to Wholeness Before 'I Do'. More than a memoir, Chosen is a movement—inviting women to reclaim their wholeness, honor their stories, and embrace radical self-love as the core of every relationship.

With unfiltered honesty and hard-won wisdom, CHOSEN traces Tamika's own path through heartbreak, rebirth, and reinvention—including a deeply personal ten-year period of celibacy that became a catalyst for profound self-discovery and growth. From navigating career pivots and family loss to surviving personal upheaval, Tamika offers a blueprint for how choosing yourself—fully and unapologetically—can change everything.

"I thought I was writing about becoming somebody's wife, but what I learned is that it was always about the relationship you have with yourself," says Okeleke. "If you don't choose yourself, fully and without apology, nobody else will and nothing else will ever feel enough. Self-love is where freedom is. That's where love begins."

Early praise for CHOSEN hails it as "a must-read for any woman on the journey to self-acceptance," and "a soulful, sacred call to wholeness for anyone who has ever lost—and found—themselves."

To celebrate the release, Tamika is launching the "Chosen Circles"—a series of virtual and in-person events where women gather to journal, share, and connect over the themes of the book with surprise chosen partners to be announced. Along with a curated line of empowering merchandise—including guided journals, affirmation mugs, and athleisure wear—will also be available, helping readers infuse the spirit of CHOSEN into their daily rituals.

Chosen: The Sacred Journey to Wholeness Before 'I Do' is the first in a planned trilogy, each volume exploring the sacred, messy, and beautiful work of self-discovery in love and marriage (Marriage Is For Grownups). The book features Tamika's intimate stories, practical exercises, and soulful encouragement for anyone ready to embark on their own journey to wholeness—before, during, or after "I do."
