In a society that often glorifies the facade of perfection, Marquita Moore emerges with authenticity. Through her latest literary endeavor, “Feeling God: Search + Connect + Be,” she extends a hand to all seekers of self-discovery and inspiration.
“Feeling God” transcends the boundaries of a conventional book, morphing into a roadmap and a confidant for those navigating their own paths. Blending elements of a workbook with doses of inspiration, it gently nudges readers towards a profound connection with their true selves. Moore’s digital platform, How I Grew Today, amplifies this message.
By the age of 30, Moore had already made her mark as a host and moderator for acclaimed networks like BET and Oxygen. Her executive tenure at Shawn Carter Enterprises and Roc Nation crowned her as a shaper of global hip-hop trends. On the surface, her life appeared as an idyllic portrait—career success intertwined with familial bliss. However, beneath the veneer, Moore grappled with an unsettling sense of discord.
“There was a persistent voice whispering that I was veering off-course,” Moore discloses. “Externally, I was the epitome of success, but internally, I felt adrift, disconnected from my true essence.”
Fueled by an inner quest for meaning, Moore dared to depart from the conventional nine-to-five routine. This bold choice initiated a journey of profound self-discovery, compelling her to confront her insecurities and redefine her concept of success.
“I embarked on this journey not knowing its destination, only certain that I couldn’t continue living a life void of authenticity,” Moore reminisces. “Taking that initial leap felt daunting, but it birthed a new chapter of freedom for me. Eventually, I arrived at a juncture where I could unabashedly embrace my true self—I was finally free to just be.”
Through introspection and soul-searching, Moore unearthed the transformative power of unraveling—allowing oneself to dismantle in order to reconstruct from a place of truth. This voyage of self-revelation laid the cornerstone for How I Grew Today, a space dedicated to nurturing self-reflection, spiritual evolution, and change.
Inaugurated in 2011, the How I Grew Today platform serves as Moore’s daily anchor to presence and mindfulness.
Moore explains. ” It’s really a place where I can check in daily and stop all the distractions happening in my life. It’s a place where individuals can come together to share their experiences, support one another and celebrate the beauty of self-discovery.”
At the crux of Moore’s message lies an earnest plea to embrace one’s authenticity and inhabit a life of unfiltered expression. In addition to being an author and inspirational conversationalist, Moore is a cook and culinary aficionado. Her multifaceted interests provide How I Grew Today with an array of resources—from heartfelt reflections to conversations spanning realms like cuisine and fashion.
“Through my work, I implore individuals to embark on a journey of introspection—probing into their identities and aspirations,” Moore asserts. “This process was pivotal for my own evolution, and I’m convinced it can transform countless others.”
Moore serves as a guide for souls navigating life’s complex paths— and a reminder that true success is not measured by likes and followers, but by the depth of real-life connections and the authenticity of every journey.
Residing in the bustling New York City area with her son River, Moore finds inspiration amidst the urban landscape.
“Feeling God: Search + Connect + Be” is available at leading retailers, including Amazon, Audible, Google Books, Barnes and Noble, and Target. For further inspiration and insights, connect with Marquita Moore on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, @howigrewtoday.
