**Celebrating Dr. Velma Bagby: A Guiding Light in Love and Relationships**

Hey there, beautiful souls! Today, I’m so excited to bring you the story of a phenomenal woman who’s making waves in the world of love and marriage—**Dr. Velma Bagby**! � As one of my top 25 most influential women of ’24, Dr. Velma is not just a bestselling author; she’s a certified Christian dating with intent to marry coach, ordained minister, and the CEO of Adoni Publishing, LLC. Trust me, you’re gonna want to know all about

A Journey of Empowerment

Dr. Velma is on a mission, y’all, and that mission is to help women become the right mate to attract the right mate. Her journey began with her first book, *Your Adam Is Asleep Until God Opens His Eyes*, where she shared heart-to-heart conversations with her daughters about men and relationships. This book became a powerful call to action for single Christian women to date with intention—yes, honey, let’s date with purpose!

With over forty years of experience as a dating-relationship coach, Dr. Velma has guided countless singles through the often tricky waters of love. She’s also a seasoned business leader, having worked thirty-eight years in state government, where she provided coaching and leadership to over one hundred staff members. That’s some serious experience right there!

 A Voice of Wisdom

Now, let’s talk about her wisdom, because Dr. Velma is a seasoned Titus 2 woman who knows a thing or two about love and marriage. Married for fifty blessed years, her insights come from a place of genuine experience. In her recent works, she takes a page from Jesus’ book—literally! Using storytelling and relatable characters, she shares valuable lessons about love and relationships in a way that’s engaging and non-preachy.

Her popular *CATCH Series* is a perfect example of this. With titles like *The CATCH No One Wants* and *The WRONG CATCH*, *The CATCH Book of Fools!  she uses fish analogies to illustrate dating mistakes, helping both men and women understand what to look for—and what to avoid—in their partners. The response has been overwhelming, with readers asking for more! And guess what? She’s already released a third book in the series, addressing the concerns of her male followers. Now that’s what I call inclusivity!

Connecting Through Creativity

In addition to her books, Dr. Velma enjoys writing guest blog posts and has contributed to several anthologies. One of her proudest moments was helping her granddaughter publish her first book at just six years old! Talk about a legacy of creativity! Her granddaughter is now a three-time award-winning author, and Dr. Velma is just thrilled to be her co-pilot on this literary journey.

Dr. Velma’s commitment to sharing Christian principles through contemporary fiction allows her to reach those who may not be familiar with scripture. She embodies the belief that love is made possible, and she’s determined to spread that message far and wide.
