Lane's gift for storytelling shines through as she weaves wisdom into the ordinary, offering a perspective that is both heartfelt and thought-provoking. Her ability to help readers see growth, purpose, and grace in life's simplest experiences is a rare talent—and one the world could truly learn from.

  • After each triumph, a feeling of bliss settles in with every new chapter. As a parent, watching your child discover their own strength while facing the unknown is incredibly rewarding. It pays homage not only to the parent who raised the child well, but also to the teacher who helped shape and inspire them.

  • It is such a great read. One line that resonated with me is: 'If they control your emotions, they control you.' That is so powerful and something I know I need to constantly keep in mind.

    Octavia Dorsey
  • My favorite quote is 'You do not become equipped and then begin. You begin, and the beginning equips you. Every step you take teaches you something the waiting never could.' Action builds confidence, competence, and clarity.

A Letter From Joel Davis — A Mortgage Servicing Executive and Mentor

Congratulations, Kianna Lane, on the debut of your first book! I'm speaking it into existence now — this is only the first of many because you have so much wisdom, experience, and purpose to share with the world.

Watching you throughout this journey has been inspiring. I've witnessed not only your drive and determination, but also your ability to gracefully balance the many roles you carry — a devoted mother, sister, aunt, friend, leader, and mentor. Your commitment to pouring into others is evident both in your life and throughout the pages of this book.

What resonated with me most were the nuggets of wisdom woven into every chapter. As I reflect on my own life, I'm reminded of the lessons and values passed down through multiple generations that continue to ground me as I navigate life's journey. This book does exactly that — it speaks to the heart, provides perspective, and offers timeless guidance.

I truly believe this is more than a book; it's a resource that will be referenced for years to come, inspiring, encouraging, and bringing clarity to generations of readers.

May God continue to bless every person who reads it, and may they be as inspired by your words as I have been. Congratulations again on this incredible accomplishment. The best is yet to come!

A Letter From Auntie Brenda — An Educator and Mother

Ms. Kianna Lane,

I am honored to have had the opportunity to read your first book, Raised Right. Congratulations on this wonderful accomplishment.

After reading your book, I believe your message emphasizes the importance of teaching children valuable life lessons while they are young so they grow into responsible, confident, and respectful men. By instilling these principles early, they won't have to relearn important life skills as adults. The lessons you share will benefit them throughout their lives, even when their mother is not physically present to guide them.

I believe Raised Right is an excellent parenting book because it addresses an issue that is affecting many families today. As parenting skills continue to decline in some homes, we are seeing more young people struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a lack of self-control. Too many children are looking to social media and their peers for guidance instead of receiving strong direction at home.

Your book reminds parents that they play the most important role in shaping their children's character. You encourage parents to reestablish healthy authority by setting boundaries, limiting screen time, prioritizing family relationships, and teaching humility, responsibility, and respect. These principles help build stronger families and prepare children to thrive in today's challenging culture.

I highly recommend Raised Right to parents, grandparents, caregivers, and anyone involved in raising children. Kianna Lane provides practical guidance and timeless wisdom that can help families nurture children who reach their full potential while developing strong values and character.

Congratulations again on writing such an inspiring and meaningful book. I pray that Raised Right touches the lives of many families for years to come.

I am so proud of you and look forward to seeing how God continues to use your gifts to encourage and strengthen families.

Love, Auntie Brenda
