Author Kiana Webb Inspires Barry University Students with Lessons on Self-Love and Purpose

First-year writing courses usually cover topics like research and analysis. On November 13, 2025, students in one writing class at Barry University spent a class session exploring an equally important skill: self-love. Author Kiana Webb visited the 11am section of Writing About Literature with Dr. Landeros on a nationwide tour to promote her book, A Glorious Arising: A Journey to the Remembrance of Me.

The author and entrepreneur provided much needed motivation for students facing the late semester crush of papers and exams by helping them identify their purpose.

Ms. Webb led exercises to help students focus on their goals and overcome obstacles in their way. She answered students’ questions ranging from how to start a business to how to find motivation. The answer to both questions: “Take the first step. Then the next. And the next.” For high achieving students anxious about keeping up their grades: “Relax. You already have the grades. Trust yourself.”
