"Reading Freedom Within felt like someone finally put words to things I’ve carried for a long time. This book doesn’t talk at you—it walks with you. From the very beginning, I felt seen, understood, and respected as a human being, not judged for my past or my struggles."
— Paris Romanoff
"This is awesome, Velda! From your personal experience derives a significant benefit that is helping not only incarcerated individuals but everyone whose life you have touched and ministered to! You are such an inspiration! You serve others with such grace, compassion, and humility! I learned so much from this podcast! Thank you!"
— J. Yvon
"Oh my God, what an amazing testimony. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It is much needed. I have started reading your new book, and it has been a Help to me and a light for my path to grow. The question in your book,” What happened to you?” Took my breath away, and I feel chains being broken down inside. The path to my needed inward healing is beginning. Thank you so much, Pastor Velda."
— Imani Fernandez
