About the Author Naomi R. was born in Plantation, Florida, and has spent most of her life in Fort Lauderdale surrounded by the love of her family. She is the daughter of David and Yvette Richards and the proud sister of Alcado (Michael), Kelly, Molly, Devontae, Elijah, and Jasmine. Raised with strong values of faith and family, Naomi places God, her loved ones, and her goals at the center of her life. Her inspiration to write The Grace God Gives to Walk Again came from the overwhelming response to her personal testimony and the lives touched by her story. Singing at various churches and events has been both a passion and a blessing, allowing her to share her faith through music. Naomi has served as a Youth Leader and Evangelist, supported low-income families with vital resources, and was recognized by the City of Fort Lauderdale Diaper Bank for her community efforts. Beyond ministry, she works for Bank of America, creates décor for weddings and special events, and is preparing to relaunch her podcast, Sassy but Classy with Nay, on TikTok. With a heart full of faith and excitement for the future, Naomi believes this is only the beginning of what God has planned for her life.
