Diary of an Angry, Black, and Blind Girl
Volume One
This is more than a memoir.
It’s a journey of vision, faith, healing, and truth.
Diary of an Angry, Black, and Blind Girl - Volume One invites you to not just read my story, but to reflect on your own. With guided journaling prompts, scripture reflections, and honest storytelling, this space was created for clarity, courage, and spiritual grounding - especially in seasons when life feels uncertain.
This book is part story, part sacred pause with a bit of Holy mischief. Readers are invited to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover purpose even in the midst of change.
Author Story
I’m Leslie A. Council - author, advocate, educator, speaker, and founder of GODISIT Publishing House.
I write from lived experience, navigating vision loss, faith, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the truth we sometimes have to fight to see.
My mission is simple but powerful:
Tell the stories that matter. Amplify voices that deserve to be heard. Help others see clearly - even when life feels uncertain.
This is more than writing.
This is legacy work.

From the Blog
Diary of an Angry, Black, and Blind Girl is where I write in real time. I share my personal experiences around vision loss, faith, grief, joy, truth, and the things we are often taught to silence. These entries began as a response to my health journey and my grief journey which with time is becoming my healing journey.
This blog is my living archive - faith, vision loss, womanhood, grief, healing, and truth told without apology. Here, I write to see clearly and invite others to do the same.
