Pamela Russell grew up without a father, ran away from home at seventeen, and fled a physically abusive relationship. None of those events kept her from purchasing her first house at twenty-one, putting herself through college, and eventually becoming an investing expert, financial advisor, and economist. When Russell received her COVID-19 diagnosis, it came as a shock, especially since she had researched it for months before her flight and prepared accordingly. She uncovered the virus with mindfulness, but she approached her situation as another opportunity through the power of positive thinking.

The Diary of a Black Pearl is Russell's inspirational memoir about overcoming life's obstacles. Both a self-help book covering science, finance, and economics and a nonfiction account of one woman's journey of self-discovery. The Diary of a Black Pearl tells of the challenges that inspired one woman to change her thinking and highlights the incredible victories you can achieve through Russell's unique approach to self-help, business, and the coronavirus.
