Sheila Johnson shares her story in a painful yet ultimately redeeming tale of her journey.  

The cofounder of BET and first African-American woman billionaire shares her deeply personal journey through love and loss, tragedy and triumph -- an inspiring story of overcoming toxic influences, discovering her true self and at last finding happiness in her work and life., The cofounder of BET and first African American woman billionaire shares her deeply personal journey through love and loss, tragedy and triumph--an inspiring story of overcoming toxic influences, discovering her true self, and at last finding happiness in her work and life. From humble beginnings as a schoolgirl and young violinist in Maywood, Illinois, Sheila Johnson rose to become one of the most accomplished businesswomen in America. A cofounder of Black Entertainment Television, she became an entrepreneur and philanthropist at the highest levels. But that success came at a painful personal cost. Sheila grew up in a middle-class family that encouraged her love of the arts and music. But her idyllic childhood ended at age sixteen when her beloved father announced he was leaving for another woman, an act that shattered her mother and destroyed Sheila's trust. She vowed she'd never be in her mother's position--dependent on a man for her sense of self-worth and for financial security. Yet when she was barely out of her teens, Sheila married a man who would take her right down that same unfortunate path. Filled with sharply drawn, emotionally powerful scenes, Walk Through Fire traces the hardships Sheila faced in her marriage and her professional life. Despite her skills as a violinist and music teacher, as well as her obvious entrepreneurial talent, she had to fight to overcome self-doubt and fears of failure. Sheila vividly details her struggles, including battling institutional racism, losing a child, suffering emotional abuse in her thirty-three-year marriage, and plunging into a deep depression with her divorce. And yet, out of that pain came renewed purpose and meaning. In the third act of her life, Sheila Johnson has not only made her mark as the founder of Salamander Hotels & Resorts and the only Black female co-owner of three professional sports teams, she has also, finally, found true love. Walk Through Fire is a uniquely American success story. And it is the deeply personal portrait of one woman who, despite heartache and obstacles, finally found herself and her place in the world., These days, I'm a successful businesswoman, a happy wife, a mother and grandmother. It might look from the outside like I had it easy, riding the rise of black entertainment television to a life of wealth and privilege. But believe me when I tell you, I had to walk through fire to get here. And after many years of staying silent, I'm ready to reveal how it all went down, in hopes that my story might help other women who find themselves facing the fire too.

Love this toy
Size: One Size
I buy these all the time for my dog. They’re the easiest for me to throw and the dog loves them. The only reason they don’t get five stars as because the stitching comes out after a couple months. Therefore, I have to continuously buy them. Because of the fact that they are way easier to throw other balls and they’re easy to see also.

Great Toy
Size: One Size
My three year old loves to play fetch and this dog toy was perfect for him. With the bright, signature orange and blue colors, he can easily spot it when I throw it even in the night. He really loves it when it bounces on the ground as he prefers to jump up and get it. The toy has been through a lot and so far he hasn't chewed through it yet as it is very thick for him to get through.

Lasted whole five minutes!
Size: One Size, Size: One Size
I received this last night and did a cute "unwrapping" this morning for my dog, who was thrilled to get new balls. Unfortunately, the excitement was short-lived. I know the description says this isn't a chew toy or for aggressive chewers, but lasting only five minutes is ridiculous. You can see in my photo that it ripped from a single bite while my pup was just pulling the ball. I thought that was exactly what this toy was designed for!

Dog loves it, but it comes apart pretty quick.
Size: One Size
The dog loved chasing it and playing tug-of-war, but it lasted less than 30 days. If the outer rubber portion of cover was thicker, or all canvas material, it would probably last for a few months of rough play. May buy again if I can't find something similar to try.
