WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?

For the Women Who Lead, Love, and Carry it All

The Village Effect is for high-capacity women who lead with strength but often feel unseen in their own story. It’s for those balancing leadership, faith, and service to others—while quietly craving a space to be poured back into. If you’ve ever felt the weight of carrying it all, this book was written with you in mind.

Perfect for:

High-Capacity Women & Hidden Carriers

You lead, love, and show up for everyone—but silently wonder who’s holding you when the weight gets heavy.

Faith-Grounded Professionals & Purpose-Driven Leaders

You’re ambitious and spiritually rooted—but often navigating spaces that weren’t built with you in mind.

Women Breaking Ceilings & Building Legacies

You’ve made it into the room—but now you’re seeking support, clarity, and community to help you stay, thrive, and rise.

Changemakers, Advocates & Everyday Anchors

You pour into others constantly—and know it’s time to find a space that pours back into you.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Denise Williams Mallett

Dr. Denise Williams Mallett is a respected higher education leader with over 25 years of experience helping institutions grow, students thrive, and communities rise. She’s held executive roles at Marygrove College, Wayne County Community College District, and the University of Detroit Mercy—where she became the institution’s first African American Vice President.

But The Village Effect isn’t about her titles.

It’s about the truth behind them.

As a woman who has often been the "strong one" at work, in her family, in every room she’s walked into, Denise knows the quiet exhaustion that comes from always holding it together. This book is her personal and professional offering to other high-capacity women: the ones who lead, love, and carry it all… but rarely feel carried themselves.

With a voice that’s both grounded and generous, Denise invites readers into a space where leadership doesn’t require self-neglect, and faith doesn’t demand silence.
