Six Degrees Makes a Joyful Noise with Metaphysical Scientist and Author Dr. Chariss Walker

Chariss Walker has said that each step she has taken in life has led to this very moment. She encourages others to understand that each experience, whether considered a blessing or a mistake, was the right choice to make at that time. She says that "it is in the reconciliation and acceptance of the choices we have made that turn those experiences from fear to love." Chariss has many life lessons to share with others through public speaking, working with others in groups or one-on-one, and through writing. Her most recent accomplishment is the release of a new book, Make a Joyful Noise: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World, which received The Mom’s Choice Award® for best Adult book of 2009. Born in 1952, Manila, Arkansas and raised in the Mississippi Delta, Chariss is the daughter of the late Martin E. Walker, a farmer, and Lola Wiggs Walker, a poet.
