"Spiritually Speaking is committed to bringing authentic programs that touch the lives of everyone. Our programs center on elephant in the room topics that no one wants to discuss in public, but talk about feverishly in private," said Towan Isom, president and founder of Spiritually Speaking and a former manager at Black Entertainment Television (BET) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Towan speaks candidly about her move from the world of entertainment in her upcoming book Chasing Greatness: From Entertainment to Evangelism Spring 2008. "Derek will offer insight on how to be successful, how not to compromise in the Hip Hop industry, giving back to the community, and being an example of Christ in the workplace without saying a word."
