"THE CREW" BOOK LIST
"The Crew" Book Club Podcast
New Episode Every Week
I was inspired to start this book club because I became a reader of books that inspired and motivated me. And I couldn't wait to share my ah-ha moments with my crew. What I realized is everyone doesn't have time to read the entire book, so I read them and you get the benefit of getting the keynotes to inspire, motivate and challenge you.

Meet Sade Hill
I'm The Sade' Hill, born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida; graduated from Florida A & M University (FAMU). I love a good story and adventure.
I've always been an off and on reader of fiction books. My favorite genre is murder mystery and drama books. I would have sprints of reading a bunch of them back to back; then stop. Life would get super busy being a mom, wife, Realtor, friend, and etc. But I always found my way back to reading. Reading is an opportunity to play a movie in my mind; to create. That is why the book is always better than the movie.
Fast forward to the year of 2020 I was presented with a challenge program that required me to read 10 pages of a self-help book among other things. I never was a fan of self-help books. But I wanted to challenge myself. The first book I read was "Fear Is My Homeboy; Author Judi Holler. This book completely changed my perspective of fear. The book catapulted my love for self-help books. I had so many ah-ha moments I wanted to share them with friends. I start my first book club among my 9 friends; I've known them for over 25 years. Most of them purchased the books, but only one showed up to the first meeting via zoom. I thought well that's not going to work.
I set on the idea of the book club for a while. Then I was listening to a podcast one day and the idea came to mind; I'll start a podcast. This is more than a podcast. It’s an opportunity to connect and grow with like-minded women who desire to be challenged and supported while growing into greatness.
Journal to "The Crew"
Not too long ago I struggled with fear of failure. Then I started reading books surrounding fear, obstacles, challenges, and mindset. I’ve realized it takes failure with continuous practice to get better.
Accepting that I must move forward to fail; to go upwards. The scariest thing about failing for me was the embarrassment of myself, not others. I did not want the accountability that it was my fault; something I believed in failed. That resulted in me doing things that I know I would guarantee achievement; challenge me and not too much.
Once I accepted my failing forward was the key to moving upward into the life I deserved. I decided every day; I will rather fail fast forward; then to stay still to be safe and stuck.
Don’t let the fear of failing keep you from a life you deserve.
Think on this; what are you staying stuck in to play it safe?
