Rasberry has written, co-authored, and compiled three books: "From Jensen Drive to Pennsylvania Avenue," "More Than Half a Century," and "Boss Babes Who Pray – Exposing the Lies of the Enemy." She has served as editor-in-chief for DMARS Business Journal and senior editor for Contemporary Christian Woman Magazine, and has contributed to outlets including Huffington Post and African-American News and Issues.

Courageous Leadership in Volatile Times
Leadership is not a title. It is an act of service. It is aligning others with the best training, feedback, and resources so they can serve as asset and not a liability. It is purposely and strategically creating a win-win situation for all that adds value to the organization and team.
-
Success Without Excuse
With all of life's ups and downs, win and loses, still no one can have a pity party. It is the loneliest part in the world. Falling can never be permanent. It is not in the falling down but in the getting up that produces winners, achievers, and success stories.
