Empowerment and self love have been the driving force for D. Anne Browne since she began her writing career in 1979. It was during that year she began to spread the gospel of health and fitness to the African American community through a series of articles (for Metropolitan Magazine) titled, "For The Health of It."

By the mid 1980's D. Anne began to notice how the literature of the time encouraged an analytical approach to the universality of human development. In response to the needs of the African American community, D. Anne began to focus her thinking and her writing on the concepts of self actualization.

Her first book (You Can Get There From Here: Life Lessons On Growth & Self Discovery For The Black Woman), though not autobiographical was based on many of her personal beliefs. Encouraged by the success of that book, D. Anne began to shift her thinking to ways of addressing the crisis between African American men and women.
